Benzene and naphthalene form an ideal solution at room temperature. For this process, the true statement(s) is(are)
- (A) is positive
- (B) is positive✓ Correct
- (C)✓ Correct
- (D)✓ Correct
Answer: (B), (C), (D)
Solution
For an ideal solution:
(B) : Mixing increases disorder, so entropy of the system increases.
(C) : Since (no heat exchange), there is no entropy change in the surroundings.
(D) : Ideal solutions have no enthalpy of mixing.
(A) is incorrect: for spontaneous mixing. Since .
