Q: A solute is placed inside of a solvent. It is noted that the solute has very strong attractive forces with the solvent. In a plot of Gibbs free energy versus temperature, what can be inferred about the y-intercept of the graph of the pure solvent and the solvent with solute?
A		The pure solvent will intersect the y-intercept lower than the impure solvent.
B		The pure solvent will intersect the y-intercept higher than the impure solvent.
C		The pure solvent will intersect the y-intercept at the same level as the impure solvent.
D		There is not enough information to tell.
