Question
Give reasons for the following:
When 30 ml of ethyl alcohol and 30 ml of water are mixed, the volume of resulting solution is more than 60 ml.
Solution
Answer:
When 30 ml of ethyl alcohol and 30 ml of water are mixed, the volume of resulting solution is more than 60ml.
It is because ethyl alchol and water do not form an ideal solution intermolecular forces of attraction are weak so the molecule will become farapart from each other hence volume will increase.
