Question

Which of following is/are important characteristics of an ideal solution?

• A. a) There is no heat change when the components are mixed
• B. b) Volume of solution is equal to sum of the volume of two components
• C. c) Volume of solution increases
• D. d) Both (a) and (b)

Answer 1

The correct option is D

d) Both (a) and (b)

Since there is no change in magnitude of intermolecular forces in an ideal solution there is no heat change and no volume change on mixing the two components.
