Which of them is not equal to zero for an ideal solution?
- Vmix
- P = Pobserved - PRaoult
- Hmix
- Smix
Answer
(4) Smix
Solution
As per NCERT, an ideal solution obeys Raoult's law over the entire range of concentration, and for it mixH = 0 and mixV = 0.
∵ It obeys Raoult's law ⇒ Pobserved = PRaoult ⇒ P = 0
∵ Mixing of two components is a spontaneous process in which randomness increases ⇒ Smix > 0 (not zero).
