What happens to the enthalpy of mixing and the volume of mixing in ideal solutions?
Options
- AEnthalpy of mixing is high, and volume of mixing is low.
- BEnthalpy of mixing is zero, and volume of mixing is zero.
- CEnthalpy of mixing is low, and volume of mixing is high.
- DEnthalpy of mixing is negative, and volume of mixing is positive.
Correct answer
B. Enthalpy of mixing is zero, and volume of mixing is zero.
Step-by-step solution
In ideal solutions, the enthalpy of mixing (Δ mix H) and the volume of mixing (Δ mix V) are both zero.
