Give reason as to why when 30 mL of ethyl alcohol and 30 mL of water are mixed, the volume of the resulting solution is more than 60 mL.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding is present in the molecules of both ethyl alcohol and water. Upon mixing. The extend of hydrogen bonding decreses. As a result, there is an incresese in volume of the resulting solution.
