10. Formation of a solution from two components can be considered as
(i) pure solvent \[\rightarrow \] separated solvent molecules, \[\triangle H_{1}\]
(ii) pure solute \[\rightarrow \] separated solute molecules, \[\triangle H_{2}\]
(iii) separated solvent and solute molecules \[\rightarrow\] solution, \[\triangle H_{3}\]
Solution so formed will be ideal if
a) \[\triangle H_{soln}=\triangle H_{1}+\triangle H_{2}-\triangle H_{3}\]
b) \[\triangle H_{soln}=\triangle H_{1}-\triangle H_{2}-\triangle H_{3}\]
