of the unknown organic substance.
Q4. 10 mL of liquid A was mixed with 10 mL of liquid B. The volume of the resulting solution
decreases to 19.8 mL. Choose the correct explanation for the given statement.
(a) This happens because of an increase in intermolecular attractions
between A-B in comparison to A-A or B-B interactions.
(b) This happens because of a decrease in intermolecular attractions
between A-B in comparison to A-A or B-B interactions.
