5.2 Ideal Solution
It is solution which obeys Raoult's law at all temperature. It means vapour pressure calculated by Raoult's law equals vapour pressure founded practically.

  • If two components $A$ and $B$ are mixed then force of attraction between pure $A's$ molecules$(A-A)$ is equal to force of attraction between pure $B$ molecules$(B-B)$ and these both are equal to force of attraction between the molecules of mixture formed$(A-B)$.

  • For a Ideal solution, $\Delta {H_{mix}} = 0$ and $\Delta {V_{mix}} = 0$, it means there is no change in enthalpy on mixing and there is no change in volume( ${V_{solvent}} + {V_{solute}} = {V_{solution}}$).

  • $A-A = B-B = A-B$(Where $A-A$ represent force of attraction between two $A$ molecules).

  • Example of ideal solution: $n$-Hexane $+$ $n$-Haptane, bromoethene $+$ chloroethene, benzene $+$ toluene.
