    If ethanol dissolves in water then which of the following would happen?

    A) Absorption of heat and contraction of volume

    B) Liberation of heat and contraction of volume

    C) Absorption of heat and increase in volume

    D) Liberation of heat and increase in volume

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Ethanol \[+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\] A non-ideal solution, which shows positive deviation from Raoults law, thus \[\Delta H=+ve,\], ie, reaction is endothennic\[\Delta V=+ve,\]ie, volume rises.
