Question

On mixing 10ml of acetone and 40ml of chloroform , total volume of the solution is
(1) < 50ml
(2) >50ml
(3) =50ml
(4) cannot be predicted

Answer 1

The inter-particle forces in between CHCl3CHCl3and acetone increases due to H-bonding and thus ΔmixingVΔmixingV becomes negative. So resulting solution will have volume less than 50 ml.

Answer 2

(4) cannot be predicted
