Solution and Explanation
Ideal Solution:
An ideal solution has the following characteristics:
Non-Ideal Solution:
A non-ideal solution exhibits:
Two Key Differences:
An ideal solution has the following characteristics:
- Obeys Raoult’s law at all concentrations.
- No enthalpy change on mixing (\(\Delta H_{mix} = 0\)).
- No volume change on mixing.
Non-Ideal Solution:
A non-ideal solution exhibits:
- Deviations from Raoult’s law.
- Heat change on mixing (either endothermic or exothermic).
- Volume change during mixing.
Two Key Differences:
