Question:

Identify the correct statements for ideal solution.
(A) It obeys Raoult's law over the entire range of concentration.
(B) It shows a positive deviation from Raoult's law.
(C) In an ideal solution, solvent-solute, solute-solute and solvent-solvent molecular interactions are comparable.
(D) The volume change i.e. \(\Delta _{\text{mix}}V=0\)
(E) The enthalpy change i.e. \(\Delta _{\text{mix}}H=0\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show Hint

An ideal solution obeys Raoult's law fully, has comparable interactions, and shows no volume or enthalpy change on mixing.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
An ideal solution follows Raoult's law at every composition. Its molecular interactions A-A, B-B and A-B are about equal.

Step 2: Check each statement
(A) True: it obeys Raoult's law over the entire range.
(B) False: positive deviation belongs to non-ideal solutions.
(C) True: solute-solvent, solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions are comparable.

Step 3: Check the rest
(D) True: \(\Delta_{mix}V = 0\).
(E) True: \(\Delta_{mix}H = 0\).

Final Answer:
Statements (A), (C), (D) and (E) are correct. \[ \boxed{\text{(B) }\text{(A), (C), (D) and (E) only}} \]
