Which property is shown by an ideal solution
It follows Raoult's law
$\Delta {H_{mix}} = 0$
$\Delta {V_{mix}} = 0$
All of these
Solution
Ideal Solutions generally have characteristics as follows:
They follow Raoult's Law.
The enthalpy of mixing of two components should be zero, that is, $\Delta mixH =0$.
This signifies that no heat is released or absorbed during mixing of two pure components to form an ideal solution.
The volume of the mixing is equal to zero that is, $\Delta mix\,V =0$. This means that total volume of solution is exactly same as the sum of the volume of solute and solution. Adding further, it also signifies that there will be contraction or expansion of the volume while the mixing of two components is taking place. The solute-solute interaction and solvent-solvent interaction is almost similar to the solute-solvent interaction.
