Question

Give reason when 30 ml of ethyl alcohol and 30 ml of water are mixed,the volume of resulting solution is more than 60 ml.

Answer 1

the alcohol and the water does not form an ideal mixture show the intermolecular forces between them are weak so they move far apart and hence the volume of the mixture becomes more than 60 ml

Answer 2

Answer:

As when mixing the above 2 solutions which are the 30ml of ethyl alcohol and 30ml of water they do not form ideal solution since their force of attraction is so poor that they become far apart separated and hence does not form a complete mixture.

Thus, the resulting mixture becomes more than 60ml as the molecules will become far apart and which will increase their volume.
