If liquids A and B form an ideal solution, then what is the Gibbs free energy of mixing?(a) > 0(b) < 0(c) = 0(d) Not DefinedThe question was asked in semester exam.This key question is from Ideal and Non-Ideal Solutions in portion Solutions of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) < 0

Best explanation: The Gibbs free ENERGY of a system at any moment in TIME is defined as the enthalpy of the system minus the product of the temperature TIMES the entropy of the system. For ideal solutions, the value of the Gibbs Free energy is always negative as mixing of ideal solutions is a SPONTANEOUS process.
