Question:

Which one of the following is incorrect for an ideal solution?

∆P=Pobs−Pcalculated by Raoult's law=0

∆Hmix=0

∆Umix=0

∆Gmix=0

Solution:

The concept of an ideal solution is fundamental to chemical thermodynamics and its applications, such as the use of colligative properties. An ideal solution or ideal mixture is a solution in which the enthalpy of solution (∆Hsolution=0) is zero. As the enthalpy of the solution nears zero, the solution becomes more ideal.
