1. Intermolecular forces of interaction influence the algebraic signs ("+" or "-") and the magnitude of DHsoln. Consider a solution composed of liquid-A and a liquid-B, such that the intermolecular force between molecules A and B is stronger than either between A and A or B and B. (a) Does the formation of an A-B solution result in a positive DH soln (implying an endothermic process) or a negative DH soln (implying an exothermic process)? Explain your reasoning. (b) If you have a solution that contains 50% of each by mole quantity, would the boiling point of the solution be higher or lower than the average boiling points of the individual liquids? Explain.
