Question

For ideal solutions, the volumes are additive. This means that if 5 mL of A and 5 mL of B form an ideal solution, the volume of the solution is 10 mL . Provide a molecular interpretation for this observation. When 500 mL of ethanol $\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH}\right)$ are mixed with 500 mL of water, the final volume is less than 1000 mL . Why?
