Ideal Solution Theory

Ideal Solution Theory describes how mixtures of liquids behave when they are completely uniform at the molecular level. It assumes that the interactions between different types of molecules are the same as those between like molecules, meaning the mixture’s properties are just a blend of the pure substances. Under this theory, properties such as vapor pressure follow simple rules like Raoult’s law, making it easier to predict how the mixture will behave. It’s an idealized model that works well for similar substances but may not accurately describe more complex or strongly interacting mixtures.
