Reason R : No interactions occur between and .
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Reason R : No interactions occur between and .
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Options
- A is not correct but is correct
- BBoth and are correct and is the correct explanation of
- CBoth and are correct but is NOT the correct explanation of
- D is correct but is not correct
Correct answer
D. is correct but is not correct
Step-by-step solution
For an ideal solution formed by mixing two liquids and , the enthalpy of mixing () and the volume of mixing () are both zero. Thus, Assertion is correct.
In an ideal solution, the intermolecular attractive forces between the solute and solvent molecules ( interactions) are of the same magnitude as those between the pure components ( and interactions). It is incorrect to state that no interactions occur between and . Thus, Reason is not correct.
Therefore, is correct but is not correct.
