Answer to Question #98676 in Physical Chemistry for Abhishek

Question

What are non ideal solutions ? give their main characteristic .

Answer 1

Solutions of liquids which do not obey Raoult's Law are called non-ideal solutions. Most solutions show, at least to some extent, non-ideal behaviour. In other words, these solutions show deviation from ideal behaviour. Volume can be less or more than the sum of ingredients volumes Ethanol and water, for example, form a non-ideal solution.
