The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Answer: Option 4: ΔGmix = 0

Explanation:

In an ideal solution:

  • ΔHmix = 0 → No enthalpy change occurs during mixing.
  • ΔUmix = 0 → Internal energy change upon mixing is zero.
  • ΔP = Pobs − Pcalculated by Raoult’s law = 0 → Ideal solutions obey Raoult's Law throughout the composition range.

However,

  • ΔGmix ≠ 0 — This is the incorrect statement.
  • Even in an ideal solution, mixing leads to an increase in entropy (ΔSmix > 0), so the Gibbs free energy of mixing decreases (ΔGmix < 0).

Therefore, ΔGmix = 0 is incorrect for an ideal solution.

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
