Question

What role does the molecular interactions play in solution of alcohol and water

Answer 1

Alcohol and water from inter molecular hydrogen bonding with each other.due to which it's BP increases as well as it's solubility increases.

Answer 2

Hey !!

There is intermolecular hydrogen in alcohol as well as in water. On mixing, the magnitude of attractive forces tends to decrease. Due to decrease in attractive forces, the solution shows positive deviations from ideal behaviour. As a result, the solution will have higher vapour pressure and lower boiling point as compared to that of pure water and pure alcohol separately.
