Question

On mixing $10$ mL of aceton with $40$ mL of chloroform., the volume of the solution is :

• A. $<50$ mL
• B. $>50$ mL
• C. $=50$ mL
• D. cannot be predicted

Answer 1

The correct option is A $<50$ mL

On mixing 10 mL of aceton with 40 mL of chloroform., the volume of the solution is < 50 mL.
The interparticle forces in between $CHC{l}_3$ and acetone increases due to $H$ -bonding and thus, $\Delta Vmixing=-ve$.
