Question

On mixing 10 ml of acetone with 40 ml of $CHC{l}_3$, the total volume of solution is?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A

< 50 ml

The intermolecular forces between $CHC{l}_3$ and acetone increases due to H-bonding and thus $\Delta V_{mix}=-Ve$
