[Given : Molar mass in g mol−1 : H = 1, C = 12, N = 14, O = 16, Cl = 35.5, Ca = 40, Al = 27 and S = 32]
III < I < II < IV

II < III < I < IV
I < II < III < IV
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} &\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}=\mathrm{i} \cdot \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{b}} \cdot \mathrm{~m}\\ &\text { For dilute solution }(M=m) \end{aligned} $
$\text{We know that boiling point elevation depends on } \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}.$
$\text{Since } \mathrm{k}_\mathrm{b} \text{ is same for water in all cases, we compare only } \mathrm{i}\times m \text{ (or } \mathrm{i}\times M\text{ for dilute solutions).}$
| $ \text { Molarity } $ |
$ \mathbf{i} \times \mathbf{m} $ |
|---|---|
| $ \text { (I) } \mathrm{M}_{\text {glucose }}=\frac{2.2}{180} \times \frac{1000}{125}=0.098 $ |
$ 0.098 \times 1 $ |
| $ \text { (II) } \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{CaCl}_2}=\frac{1.9}{111} \times \frac{1000}{250}=0.068 $ |
$ 0.068 \times 3 $ |

$ 0.08 \times 5 $ |
$\text{Now compare the values of } \mathrm{i}\times m:$
$\text{(I) Glucose: } 0.098\times 1=0.098$
$\text{(II) } \mathrm{CaCl}_2\text{: } 0.068\times 3=0.204$
$\text{(III) Urea: } 0.3\times 1=0.3$
$\text{(IV) Aluminium sulphate: } 0.08\times 5=0.4$
Order of $\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}=\mathrm{Al}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3>$ Urea $>\mathrm{CaCl}_2>$ Glucose
So order of BP $=\mathrm{Al}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3>$ Urea $>\mathrm{CaCl}_2>$ Glucose
So Answer will be I $<$ II $<$ III $<$ IV
At $\mathrm{T}(\mathrm{K}), 2$ moles of liquid A and 3 moles of liquid B are mixed. The vapour pressure of ideal solution formed is 320 mm Hg . At this stage, one mole of A and one mole of B are added to the solution. The vapour pressure is now measured as 328.6 mm Hg . The vapour pressure (in mm Hg ) of A and B are respectively:
400, 300
600, 400
500, 200
300, 200
Explanation:
For an ideal solution, by Raoult’s law:
$P_{\text{total}}=x_A P_A^0 + x_B P_B^0$
where $P_A^0,\;P_B^0$ are vapour pressures of pure liquids A and B.
Step 1: First mixture (2 mol A + 3 mol B)
Total moles $=2+3=5$
$x_A=\frac{2}{5},\quad x_B=\frac{3}{5}$
Given $P_{\text{total}}=320$ mm Hg:
$320=\frac{2}{5}P_A^0+\frac{3}{5}P_B^0$
Multiply by 5:
$1600=2P_A^0+3P_B^0 \quad ...(1)$
Step 2: After adding 1 mol A and 1 mol B
New moles: A $=3$, B $=4$, total $=7$
$x_A=\frac{3}{7},\quad x_B=\frac{4}{7}$
Given new vapour pressure $=328.6$ mm Hg:
$328.6=\frac{3}{7}P_A^0+\frac{4}{7}P_B^0$
Multiply by 7:
$2300.2=3P_A^0+4P_B^0 \quad ...(2)$
Step 3: Solve the two equations
From (1): $2P_A^0+3P_B^0=1600$
From (2): $3P_A^0+4P_B^0=2300.2$
Multiply (1) by 3:
$6P_A^0+9P_B^0=4800$
Multiply (2) by 2:
$6P_A^0+8P_B^0=4600.4$
Subtract:
$P_B^0=4800-4600.4=199.6 \approx 200$
Put in (1):
$2P_A^0+3(199.6)=1600$
$2P_A^0+598.8=1600$
$2P_A^0=1001.2 \Rightarrow P_A^0=500.6 \approx 500$
Final Answer
Vapour pressures of A and B are approximately:
$P_A^0=500\ \text{mm Hg},\quad P_B^0=200\ \text{mm Hg}$
Correct option: C (500, 200)
At 298 K , the mole percentage of $\mathrm{N}_2(\mathrm{~g})$ in air is $80 \%$. Water is in equilibrium with air at a pressure of 10 atm . What is the mole fraction of $\mathrm{N}_2(\mathrm{~g})$ in water at 298 K ? $\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}\right.$ for $\mathrm{N}_2$ is $\left.6.5 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}\right)$
$9.35 \times 10^{-5}$
$9.35 \times 10^5$
$1.23 \times 10^{-7}$
$1.17 \times 10^{-4}$
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{N}_2}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}} \cdot \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{N}_2} \\ & \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{N}_2}=0.8 \times 10=8 \mathrm{~atm} \\ & 8 \times 760=6.5 \times 10^7 \times \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{N}_2} \\ & \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{N}_2}=\frac{8 \times 760}{6.5 \times 10^7} \\ & \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{N}_2}=9.35 \times 10^{-5} \end{aligned} $
Two liquids A and B form an ideal solution at temperature T K . At T K , the vapour pressures of pure A and B are 55 and $15 \mathrm{kN} \mathrm{m}^{-2}$ respectively. What is the mole fraction of A in solution of A and B in equilibrium with a vapour in which the mole fraction of A is 0.8?
0.5217
0.480
0.340
0.663
Explanation:
For an ideal solution, Raoult’s law applies:
$ p_A=x_A P_A^*,\qquad p_B=x_B P_B^* $
Total pressure:
$ P=p_A+p_B=55x_A+15(1-x_A)=55x_A+15-15x_A=40x_A+15 $
Vapour-phase mole fraction (Dalton’s law):
$ y_A=\frac{p_A}{P}=\frac{55x_A}{40x_A+15}=0.8 $
Solve:
$ 55x_A=0.8(40x_A+15)=32x_A+12 $
$ 23x_A=12 \Rightarrow x_A=\frac{12}{23}=0.5217 $
Answer: 0.5217 (Option A)
A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.3 g of a non-volatile non-electrolyte solute 'A' of molar mass $60 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ and 0.9 g of a non-volatile non-electrolyte solute ' B ' of molar mass $180 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ in $100 \mathrm{~mL} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ at $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Osmotic pressure of the solution will be
[Given: $\mathrm{R}=0.082 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~atm} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ ]
2.46 atm
0.82 atm
1.47 atm
1.23 atm
Explanation:
Moles of solute $A$:
$n_A=\frac{0.3}{60}=0.005\ \text{mol}$
Moles of solute $B$:
$n_B=\frac{0.9}{180}=0.005\ \text{mol}$
Total moles of solute particles (both are non-electrolytes, so no dissociation):
$n=n_A+n_B=0.005+0.005=0.01\ \text{mol}$
Volume of solution (dilute solution, take volume $\approx 100\ \text{mL}=0.1\ \text{L}$):
$V=0.1\ \text{L}$
Temperature:
$T=27^\circ\text{C}=300\ \text{K}$
Osmotic pressure:
$\pi=\frac{n}{V}RT=\frac{0.01}{0.1}\times 0.082 \times 300$
$\pi=0.1\times 24.6=2.46\ \text{atm}$
Correct option: A) $2.46\ \text{atm}$
' W ' g of a non-volatile electrolyte solid solute of molar mass ' M ' $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ when dissolved in 100 mL water, decreases vapour pressure of water from 640 mm Hg to 600 mm Hg . If aqueous solution of the electrolyte boils at 375 K and $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}}$ for water is $0.52 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$, then the mole fraction of the electrolyte solute $\left(x_2\right)$ in the solution can be expressed as
(Given : density of water $=1 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}$ and boiling point of water $=373 \mathrm{~K}$ )
$\frac{16}{2 \cdot 6} \times \frac{W}{M}$
$\frac{1 \cdot 3}{8} \times \frac{\mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{W}}$
$\frac{2 \cdot 6}{16} \times \frac{\mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{W}}$
$\frac{1 \cdot 3}{8} \times \frac{W}{M}$
Explanation:
Boiling point elevation:
$ \Delta T_b = 375-373 = 2\,\text{K} $
Mass of water $=100\,\text{mL}\times 1\,\text{g mL}^{-1}=100\,\text{g}=0.1\,\text{kg}$
Molality:
$ m=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{kg of solvent}} =\frac{(W/M)}{0.1}=10\frac{W}{M} $
For electrolyte (NCERT):
$ \Delta T_b = iK_b m $
$ 2=i(0.52)\left(10\frac{W}{M}\right)=i\left(5.2\frac{W}{M}\right) $
$ i=\frac{2}{5.2}\cdot\frac{M}{W}=\frac{5}{13}\cdot\frac{M}{W} $
Vapour pressure lowering:
$ \frac{\Delta p}{p^\circ}=\frac{640-600}{640}=\frac{40}{640}=\frac{1}{16} $
For electrolyte (NCERT):
$ \frac{\Delta p}{p^\circ}=ix_2 $
So,
$ x_2=\frac{1/16}{i}=\frac{1}{16}\cdot\frac{1}{\left(\frac{5}{13}\cdot\frac{M}{W}\right)} =\frac{1}{16}\cdot\frac{13}{5}\cdot\frac{W}{M} =\frac{13}{80}\cdot\frac{W}{M} $
$ x_2=\left(\frac{1.3}{8}\right)\frac{W}{M} $
Correct option: D
Which one of the following graphs accurately represents the plot of partial pressure of $\mathrm{CS}_2$ vs its mole fraction in a mixture of acetone and $\mathrm{CS}_2$ at constant temperature?
Explanation:
Mixture of $\mathrm{CS}_2$ and

show positive deviation $\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{CS}_2}>\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{CS}_2}^{\mathrm{o}} \cdot \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{CS}_2}$
At $\mathrm{T}(\mathrm{K}), 100 \mathrm{~g}$ of $98 \% \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4(\mathrm{w} / \mathrm{w})$ aqueous solution is mixed with 100 g of $49 \% \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4(\mathrm{w} / \mathrm{w})$ aqueous solution. What is the mole fraction of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ in the resultant solution?
(Given : Atomic mass $\mathrm{H}=1 \mathrm{u} ; \mathrm{S}=32 \mathrm{u} ; \mathrm{O}=16 \mathrm{u}$ ).
(Assume that temperature after mixing remains constant)
0.9
0.663
0.1
0.337
Explanation:
Total mass of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$ in the mixture:
$ =\left(100 \times \frac{98}{100}\right)+\left(100 \times \frac{49}{100}\right)=147 \mathrm{gm} $
Here, the first solution gives $98\ \mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$ and the second gives $49\ \mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$, so total is $147\ \mathrm{g}$.
Total mass of solution after mixing $=100+100=200\ \mathrm{g}$.
So, total mass of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}$ in the mixture:
Total weight of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}=200-147=53 \mathrm{gm}$
Moles of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4 = \frac{147}{98}$ (since molar mass of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4$ is $98\ \mathrm{g\,mol^{-1}}$).
Moles of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} = \frac{53}{18}$ (since molar mass of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}$ is $18\ \mathrm{g\,mol^{-1}}$).
Now, mole fraction of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ is:
Mole fraction of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4=\frac{\frac{147}{98}}{\left(\frac{147}{98}+\frac{53}{18}\right)}=0.337$
Consider a solution of $\mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})$ dissolved in water in a closed container.
Which one of the following plots correctly represents variation of log (partial pressure of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ in vapour phase above water) $[y$-axis $]$ with $\log$ (mole fraction of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ in water) $[x$-axis $]$ at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ?
Explanation:
From Henry’s law (as given in NCERT), the partial pressure of a gas above the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction in the solution.
So, we write:
$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{~g})=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}} \cdot \mathrm{X}(\mathrm{~g}) \\\\ & \operatorname{logP}(\mathrm{g})=\log \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}+\operatorname{logX}(\mathrm{g}) \end{aligned} $
Now compare this with the straight-line form $y = c + x$.
Here, $y = \log P(\mathrm{g})$, $x = \log X(\mathrm{g})$, and the constant (intercept) is $\log K_H$.
Therefore, the graph between $\log P$ (on $y$-axis) and $\log X$ (on $x$-axis) will be a straight line with slope $1$ and $y$-intercept $\log K_H$.
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : The Henry's law constant $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}$ is constant with respect to variations in solution's concentration over the range for which the solution is ideally dilute.
Statement II : $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}$ does not differ for the same solute in different solvents.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Explanation:
Statement I: True.
For an ideally dilute solution, Henry’s law is obeyed:
$p = K_H x$
At a fixed temperature, $K_H$ remains constant over the concentration range where the solution behaves ideally (i.e., dilute enough).
Statement II: False.
$K_H$ depends on the nature of the gas (solute) and also the nature of the solvent (and temperature). So, for the same solute, $K_H$ can be different in different solvents.
Correct option: B (Statement I is true but Statement II is false).
Elements P and Q form two types of non-volatile, non-ionizable compounds PQ and $\mathrm{PQ}_2$. When 1 g of $P Q$ is dissolved in 50 g of solvent ' $A^{\prime}, \Delta T_b$ was 1.176 K while when 1 g of $P Q_2$ is dissolved in 50 g of solvent ' $\mathrm{A}^{\prime}, \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}$ was 0.689 K . ( $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}}$ of ' $\mathrm{A}^{\prime}=5 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ ). The molar masses of elements P and Q (in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ ) respectively, are :
25, 60
60, 25
65, 145
70, 110
Explanation:
For a non-volatile, non-ionizable solute,
$\Delta T_b = K_b \, m$
and
$m=\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{kg of solvent}}$
Given: mass of solvent $=50\,\text{g}=0.05\,\text{kg}$, mass of solute $=1\,\text{g}$.
So for any solute of molar mass $M$,
$ m=\frac{\frac{1}{M}}{0.05}=\frac{1}{0.05M}=\frac{20}{M} $
Hence,
$ \Delta T_b=K_b \cdot \frac{20}{M}=5\cdot \frac{20}{M}=\frac{100}{M} $
So,
$ M=\frac{100}{\Delta T_b} $
1) For $PQ$
$ M(PQ)=\frac{100}{1.176}\approx 85.03 \approx 85 $
Let molar masses of elements be $P=x$ and $Q=y$:
$ x+y=85 \quad ...(1) $
2) For $PQ_2$
$ M(PQ_2)=\frac{100}{0.689}\approx 145.14 \approx 145 $
So,
$ x+2y=145 \quad ...(2) $
Subtract (1) from (2):
$ (x+2y)-(x+y)=145-85 \Rightarrow y=60 $
Then from (1):
$ x+60=85 \Rightarrow x=25 $
Therefore, molar masses are:
$ P=25,\quad Q=60 $
Correct option: A (25, 60)
The freezing point depression of a 0.1 m aqueous solution of a monobasic weak acid HA is 0.20 °C. The dissociation constant for the acid is
Given: $K_f$(H2O) = 1.8 K kg mol−1, molality ≡ molarity
$1.90 \times 10^{-3}$
$1.38 \times 10^{-3}$
$1.1 \times 10^{-2}$
$1.89 \times 10^{-1}$
Explanation:
Freezing Point Depression:
$ \Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times m $
Given:
$ \Delta T_f = 0.2 \, \text{°C}, \quad K_f = 1.8 \, \text{K kg mol}^{-1}, \quad m = 0.1 \, \text{m} $
Substituting the given values:
$ 0.2 = i \times 1.8 \times 0.1 $
Solving for $i$:
$ i = \frac{0.2}{1.8 \times 0.1} = \frac{20}{18} = \frac{10}{9} $
Degree of Dissociation ($\alpha$):
For the reaction $\mathrm{HA} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}^{+} + \mathrm{A}^{-}$:
$ i = 1 + \alpha $
Given $i = \frac{10}{9}$:
$ \frac{10}{9} = 1 + \alpha $
$ \alpha = \frac{1}{9} $
Dissociation Constant ($K_{eq}$):
$ \mathrm{K}_{eq} = \frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]} $
At equilibrium:
$ [H^+] = [A^-] = \alpha \times C = \frac{1}{9} \times 0.1 $
$ [HA] = 0.1 \times (1 - \alpha) = 0.1 \times \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) $
Substituting these into $K_{eq}$:
$ \mathrm{K}_{eq} = \frac{(0.1 \times \frac{1}{9})^2}{0.1 \times \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right)} $
Simplifying:
$ \mathrm{K}_{eq} = \frac{0.1 \times \left(\frac{1}{81}\right)}{0.1 \times \frac{8}{9}} = \frac{1}{720} $
Therefore:
$ \mathrm{K}_{eq} = 1.38 \times 10^{-3} $
Which of the following binary mixture does not show the behaviour of minimum boiling azeotropes?
$\text{CH}_3\text{OH} + \text{CHCl}_3$
$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2$
$\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CH}_3\text{COC}_2\text{H}_5$
$\text{CS}_2 + \text{CH}_3\text{COCH}_3$
Explanation:
A binary mixture of $ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} $ and $ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2 $ exhibits negative deviation from Raoult's law. This means that the vapor pressure of the solution is lower than the vapor pressures of the pure components, $ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} $ and $ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2 $. Consequently, the boiling point of the solution is higher than the boiling points of the pure substances. Therefore, this mixture forms a maximum boiling azeotrope.
Liquid A and B form an ideal solution. The vapour pressures of pure liquids A and B are 350 and 750 mm Hg respectively at the same temperature. If $x_A$ and $x_B$ are the mole fraction of A and B in solution while $y_A$ and $y_B$ are the mole fraction of A and B in vapour phase, then,
$(x_A - y_A) < (x_B - y_B)$
$\frac{x_A}{x_B} = \frac{y_A}{y_B}$
$\frac{x_A}{x_B} < \frac{y_A}{y_B}$
$\frac{x_A}{x_B} > \frac{y_A}{y_B}$
Explanation:
Liquid A and B form an ideal solution. The vapor pressures of pure liquids A and B are 350 mm Hg and 750 mm Hg, respectively, at the same temperature. Here, $ x_A $ and $ x_B $ represent the mole fractions of A and B in the solution, and $ y_A $ and $ y_B $ are their mole fractions in the vapor phase.
Let’s begin by comparing the vapor pressures:
$ \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{o}} < \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{o}} $
$ \frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{o}}} < 1 $
The relationship between the mole fractions in the vapor phase and the solution can be expressed as:
$ \frac{y_A}{y_B} = \frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{o}}} \cdot \frac{x_A}{x_B} $
Since $\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{o}}} < 1$, it follows that:
$ \frac{\frac{y_A}{y_B}}{\frac{x_A}{x_B}} < 1 $
Which implies:
$ \frac{y_A}{y_B} < \frac{x_A}{x_B} $
This indicates that the mole fraction ratio of A to B in the vapor phase is less than that in the solution.
Match List - I with List - II.
| List - I | List - II |
|---|---|
| (A) Solution of chloroform and acetone | (I) Minimum boiling azeotrope |
| (B) Solution of ethanol and water | (II) Dimerizes |
| (C) Solution of benzene and toluene | (III) Maximum boiling azeotrope |
| (D) Solution of acetic acid in benzene | (IV) ΔVmix = 0 |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
Explanation:
To correctly match the items from List - I with those in List - II, let's analyze the characteristics of each solution:
(A) Solution of chloroform and acetone: This solution exhibits negative deviation from Raoult's law. It creates a maximum boiling azeotrope because the interactions between chloroform and acetone molecules are stronger than those in the pure components.
(B) Solution of ethanol and water: This solution shows positive deviation from Raoult's law, leading to the formation of a minimum boiling azeotrope. The interactions between ethanol and water molecules are weaker than those in their pure states.
(C) Solution of benzene and toluene: This combination forms an ideal solution where Raoult’s law is obeyed across all concentrations. Thus, the volume change upon mixing, denoted as $\Delta V_{\text{mix}}$, is zero.
(D) Solution of acetic acid in benzene: In this mixture, acetic acid tends to dimerize. The acetic acid molecules pair up, forming dimers, especially in non-polar solvents like benzene.
Based on these explanations, the correct matches are:
(A) - (III)
(B) - (I)
(C) - (IV)
(D) - (II)
Given below are two statements:
Statement (I) : Molal depression constant $\mathrm{K}_f$ is given by $\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_f}{\Delta \mathrm{~S}_{\mathrm{fus}}}$, where symbols have their usual meaning.
Statement (II) : $\mathrm{K}_f$ for benzene is less than the $\mathrm{K}_f$ for water.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Explanation:
Statement-I
Molar depression constant $\mathrm{k}_f=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_f^2}{\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\text {fus }}}$
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{k}_f=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_{\mathrm{f}}}{\left[\frac{\Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{fus}}}{\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{f}}}\right]} \\ & \mathrm{k}_f=\frac{\mathrm{M}_1 \mathrm{RT}_f}{\Delta \mathrm{~S}_{\text {fus }}} \end{aligned}$
Hence statement-I is correct
but $\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}$ for benzene $=5.12 \frac{{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\text { molal }}$
$\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}$ for water $=1.86 \frac{{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\text { molal }}$ Hence statement- II is incorrect

Boiling Point Elevation Formula:
$ \Delta T_b = i_1 \cdot m_1 \cdot K_b + i_2 \cdot m_2 \cdot K_b $
where:
$i_1$ and $i_2$ are the van't Hoff factors for ethylene glycol and glucose, respectively (both are 1 since they do not dissociate in solution).
$m_1$ and $m_2$ are the molalities of ethylene glycol and glucose, respectively.
$K_b$ is the ebullioscopic constant of water ($0.52 \, \text{K kg mol}^{-1}$).
Calculate Molality:
Each solute has 2 moles dissolved in 500 grams of water ($0.5 \, \text{kg}$):
$ m_1 = \frac{2 \, \text{moles}}{0.5 \, \text{kg}} = 4 \, \text{mol kg}^{-1} $
$ m_2 = \frac{2 \, \text{moles}}{0.5 \, \text{kg}} = 4 \, \text{mol kg}^{-1} $
Substitute into the Formula:
$ \Delta T_b = 1 \cdot 4 \cdot 0.52 + 1 \cdot 4 \cdot 0.52 = 4.16 $
Determine Boiling Point of Solution:
The normal boiling point of water is $373.16 \, \text{K}$.
Add the boiling point elevation to the normal boiling point:
$ T_b (\text{solution}) = 373.16 + 4.16 = 377.3 \, \text{K} $
Thus, the boiling point of the resulting solution is $377.3 \, \text{K}$.
Which of the following properties will change when system containing solution 1 will become solution 2 ?

Explanation:
Both solutions contain the same composition, specifically 1 mole of 'x' in 1 liter of water. This means all intensive properties, such as concentration and density, will remain unchanged. However, because the total quantity of solution is greater in Solution 1 compared to Solution 2, the extensive properties will differ. Consequently, Gibbs free energy will change as it is an extensive property.
' $x$ ' g of NaCl is added to water in a beaker with a lid. The temperature of the system is raised from $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Which out of the following plots, is best suited for the change in the molarity $(\mathrm{M})$ of the solution with respect to temperature ?
[Consider the solubility of NaCl remains unchanged over the temperature range]
Explanation:
When $x$ grams of NaCl are added to water in a beaker and the temperature is increased from $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, the molarity of the solution changes due to the volumetric changes of water.
Temperature from $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$:
Water is densest at $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
As the temperature increases from $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, the water volume decreases due to increased density.
This decrease in volume results in an increase in molarity because molarity is inversely proportional to the solution's volume.
Temperature from $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$:
Beyond $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, water expands with an increase in temperature.
Therefore, as temperature rises to $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, the volume of the water increases.
The dilution leads to a decrease in molarity, since molarity is inversely proportional to volume.
Thus, the molarity first increases as temperature rises to $4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, but then decreases as it continues to $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The graphical representation of this relationship would exhibit an initial increase in molarity, followed by a decrease, correlating with changes in the volume of water due to temperature variations.
A solution is made by mixing one mole of volatile liquid $A$ with 3 moles of volatile liquid $B$. The vapour pressure of pure A is 200 mm Hg and that of the solution is 500 mm Hg . The vapour pressure of pure B and the least volatile component of the solution, respectively, are:
Explanation:
Given:
1 mole of volatile liquid A
3 moles of volatile liquid B
Vapor pressure of pure A, $ P_A^o = 200 $ mm Hg
Vapor pressure of the solution, $ P_{S} = 500 $ mm Hg
We apply Raoult's law, which states:
$ P_{S} = P_A^o \cdot X_A + P_B^o \cdot X_B $
Where:
$ X_A $ is the mole fraction of A
$ X_B $ is the mole fraction of B
$ P_B^o $ is the vapor pressure of pure liquid B
Calculate the mole fractions:
$ X_A = \frac{1}{1+3} = \frac{1}{4} $
$ X_B = \frac{3}{1+3} = \frac{3}{4} $
Plug these into the equation:
$ 500 = 200 \times \frac{1}{4} + P_B^o \times \frac{3}{4} $
Simplifying:
$ 500 = 50 + \frac{3}{4} P_B^o $
Subtract 50 from both sides:
$ 450 = \frac{3}{4} P_B^o $
Multiply both sides by $\frac{4}{3}$ to solve for $P_B^o$:
$ P_B^o = 600 \, \text{mm Hg} $
Since $ P_A^o < P_B^o $, liquid A is the least volatile component.
In conclusion:
The vapor pressure of pure B, $ P_B^o $, is 600 mm Hg.
The least volatile component is A.
Which of the following graph correctly represents the plots of $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}$ at 1 bar for gases in water versus temperature?
Explanation:
As temperature increases solubility first decrease then increase hence $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}$ first increase than decrease also at moderate temperature $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{H}}$ value $\mathrm{He}>\mathrm{N}_2>$ $\mathrm{CH}_4$.
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I): NaCl is added to the ice at 0°C, present in the ice cream box to prevent the melting of ice cream.
Statement (II): On addition of NaCl to ice at 0°C, there is a depression in freezing point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Explanation:
Statement I : Correct
NaCl addition to ice causes preventing the melting of ice. On adding NaCl to ice, freezing point lowers. This creates a colder mixture, preventing the ice cream from melting.
Melting point of ice is 0$^\circ$C. When only ice is used to make ice cream, at 0$^\circ$C ice starts melting by absorbing the energy from its environment in the form of heat. Addition of salt to ice while making the cream lowers the freezing point of the ice, allowing it to reach a colder temperature and thus the ice cream mixture freezes properly, So, the salt causes ice to melt at a lower temperature than pure ice.
Statement II : Correct
Decrease in freezing point while addition of NaCl to ice at 0$^\circ$C is due to the colligative property depression in freezing point.
So, both the statements are correct.
Both statement I and statement II are true.
1.24 g of AX2 (molar mass 124 g mol−1) is dissolved in 1 kg of water to form a solution with boiling point of 100.015°C, while 25.4 g of AY2 (molar mass 250 g mol−1) in 2 kg of water constitutes a solution with a boiling point of 100.0260°C.

AX2 and AY2 (both) are completely unionised.
AX2 and AY2 (both) are fully ionised.
AX2 is completely unionised while AY2 is fully ionised.
AX2 is fully ionised while AY2 is completely unionised.
Explanation:
Mass of $A x_2=1.24 \mathrm{~g}$ (solute)
Molarmass of $A X_2=124 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
Mass of water $=1 \mathrm{~kg}$ (solvent.)
Boiling point of water $=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
Boiling point of water after adding solute $A X_2=100.0156^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
Mass of $A Y_2=25.4 \mathrm{~g}$ (solute)
Molarmass of $A Y_2=250 \mathrm{~g~mol}^{-1}$
Mass of water $=2 \mathrm{~kg}$ (Solvent)
Boiling point of water $\mp 100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
Boiling point of water after adding solute $A y_2=100.0260^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$

The ionisation of $A x_2$ and $A Y_2$ can be determined by calculating Van't Hoff factor.
The phenomenon given in the question is elevation in boiling point. The boiling point of solvent increases when another compound (solute) is added to it.

$\Delta T_b=T_b-T_b^0$
$\Delta T_b \rightarrow$ Boiling point elevation

$T_b^0 \rightarrow$ Boiling point of solvent
$K_b \rightarrow$ Molal elevation constant
$i \rightarrow$ Van't Hoff factor
$m \rightarrow \text { Molality }=\frac{\text { Number of moles }}{\mathrm{kg} \text { of solvent }}, \text { Moles }=\frac{\text { Mass }}{\text { Molarmass }}$
For $A X_2$ and $A Y_2$ (solute), Van't Hoff factor represents how many particles a solute dissociates into when dissolved in a solvent (water).
For non-electrolytes, $i=1$

$i = {{(100.0260^\circ C - 100^\circ C)} \over {0.52^\circ C\,kg\,mo{l^{ - 1}} \times 0.0508\,mol\,k{g^{ - 1}}}}$
$=\frac{0.0260 ^\circ \mathrm{C}}{0.52 \times 0.0508 ^\circ \mathrm{C}}$
$= 0.98$
$\approx 1$
$i=1$ means $A Y_2$ is completely unionised.
$A y_2$ not give ionised particles when dissolved in water.
So, $A X_2$ is completely ionised and $A Y_2$ is completely unionised.
Answer: Option 4) $A x_2$ is fully ionised, $A Y_2$ is completely unionised.

What is the freezing point depression constant of a solvent, 50 g of which contain 1 g non volatile solute (molar mass $256 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ ) and the decrease in freezing point is 0.40 K ?
Explanation:
To find the freezing point depression constant ($ K_f $) of the solvent, we use the formula for freezing point depression:
$ \Delta T_f = K_f \cdot m $
Given:
The decrease in freezing point $\Delta T_f$ is 0.40 K.
The mass of the solute is 1 g and its molar mass is 256 g/mol.
The mass of the solvent is 50 g (or 0.050 kg).
First, calculate the molality ($ m $):
Molality is defined as the moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Calculate moles of solute:
$ \text{Moles of solute} = \frac{1 \, \text{g}}{256 \, \text{g/mol}} = \frac{1}{256} \, \text{mol} $
Calculate molality ($ m $):
$ m = \frac{\frac{1}{256} \, \text{mol}}{0.050 \, \text{kg}} = \frac{1}{256 \times 0.050} \, \text{mol/kg} $
Now, substitute into the formula to find $ K_f $:
$ 0.4 = K_f \cdot \frac{1}{256 \times 0.050} $
Solving for $ K_f $:
$ K_f = 0.4 \cdot 256 \times 0.050 = 5.12 \, \text{K kg/mol} $
Thus, the freezing point depression constant of the solvent is $ 5.12 \, \text{K kg/mol} $.
Consider the given plots of vapour pressure (VP) vs temperature(T/K). Which amongst the following options is correct graphical representation showing $\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}$, depression in the freezing point of a solvent in a solution?
Explanation:
On adding non-volatile solute in a solvent, the freezing point of solution decreases.
$\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}<\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}^0$
F.P. of solution $<$ F.P. of pure solvent
Also V.P. of solution decreases on adding nonvolatile solute in a solvent.

When a non-volatile solute is added to the solvent, the vapour pressure of the solvent decreases by 10 mm of Hg . The mole fraction of the solute in the solution is 0.2 . What would be the mole fraction of the solvent if decrease in vapour pressure is 20 mm of Hg ?
Explanation:
When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, it causes the vapour pressure of the solvent to decrease. In this scenario, when the vapour pressure decreases by 10 mm of Hg, the mole fraction of the solute in the solution is 0.2.
By understanding the relationship between vapour pressure change and mole fraction, we see that:
The change in vapour pressure ($P^{\circ} - P$) is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solute ($X_{\text{solute}}$).
Therefore, if a 10 mm of Hg decrease corresponds to a mole fraction of 0.2, then a 20 mm of Hg decrease would correspond to a mole fraction of 0.4.
To find the mole fraction of the solvent ($X_{\text{solvent}}$), we use the formula:
$ X_{\text{solvent}} = 1 - X_{\text{solute}} $
Substituting the value we found:
$ X_{\text{solvent}} = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 $
Thus, when the vapour pressure decreases by 20 mm of Hg, the mole fraction of the solvent is 0.6.
Consider a binary solution of two volatile liquid components 1 and $2 . x_1$ and $y_1$ are the mole fractions of component 1 in liquid and vapour phase, respectively. The slope and intercept of the linear plot of $\frac{1}{x_1}$ vs $\frac{1}{y_1}$ are given respectively as :
Explanation:
For a binary solution of two volatile liquid components labeled 1 and 2, let $ x_1 $ and $ y_1 $ represent the mole fractions of component 1 in the liquid and vapor phases, respectively. The linear relationship between the inverse of these mole fractions is plotted as $\frac{1}{x_1}$ versus $\frac{1}{y_1}$.
To derive the slope and intercept of this linear plot, consider the following calculations:
Using Raoult's Law for a Liquid Solution:
For a liquid solution with volatile components 1 and 2:
$ \mathrm{P}_1 = \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{T}} \cdot y_1 = \mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}} \cdot x_1 $
Therefore:
$ \frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{T}}}{x_1} = \frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{y_1} $
Rearranging the Equation:
By substituting and rearranging, we have:
$ \frac{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}} + x_1(\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}} - \mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}})}{x_1} = \frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{y_1} $
Simplifying further:
$ \frac{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}}{x_1} + (\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}} - \mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}) = \frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{y_1} $
Expressing $\frac{1}{x_1}$:
Solving for $\frac{1}{x_1}$, we obtain:
$ \frac{1}{x_1} = \left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}}\right)\left(\frac{1}{y_1}\right) + \left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}} - \mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}}\right) $
Determining the Slope and Intercept:
The slope of the line is:
$ \text{Slope} = \frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}} $
The intercept of the line is:
$ \text{Intercept} = \frac{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}} - \mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}} $
In summary, for the plot of $\frac{1}{x_1}$ against $\frac{1}{y_1}$, the slope is $\frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}}$ and the intercept is $\frac{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}} - \mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}}$.
Arrange the following solutions in order of their increasing boiling points.
(i) $10^{-4} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaCl}$
(ii) $10^{-4} \mathrm{M}$ Urea
(iii) $10^{-3} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaCl}$
(iv) $10^{-2} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaCl}$
Explanation:
Step 1: Identify the van’t Hoff factor ($i$) for each solute
NaCl dissociates (ideally) into two ions:
$ \mathrm{NaCl} \;\rightarrow\; \mathrm{Na^+} + \mathrm{Cl^-}, $
so $i \approx 2.$
Urea ($\mathrm{CH_4N_2O}$) is a non‐electrolyte (does not dissociate), so $i = 1.$
Step 2: Effective molar concentration of particles
The total particle concentration for each solution is approximately $(i \times \text{molarity})$.
(i) $10^{-4}\,M$ NaCl
$ \text{Effective concentration} \;=\; 2 \times 10^{-4} = 2 \times 10^{-4}. $
(ii) $10^{-4}\,M$ Urea
$ \text{Effective concentration} \;=\; 1 \times 10^{-4} = 1 \times 10^{-4}. $
(iii) $10^{-3}\,M$ NaCl
$ \text{Effective concentration} \;=\; 2 \times 10^{-3} = 2 \times 10^{-3}. $
(iv) $10^{-2}\,M$ NaCl
$ \text{Effective concentration} \;=\; 2 \times 10^{-2} = 2 \times 10^{-2}. $
Step 3: Compare to rank the boiling points
A larger total particle concentration (and hence larger colligative effect) corresponds to a higher boiling point. Arrange from lowest to highest:
Lowest: $10^{-4}\,M$ Urea $\bigl[1 \times 10^{-4}\bigr]$
Next: $10^{-4}\,M$ NaCl $\bigl[2 \times 10^{-4}\bigr]$
Next: $10^{-3}\,M$ NaCl $\bigl[2 \times 10^{-3}\bigr]$
Highest: $10^{-2}\,M$ NaCl $\bigl[2 \times 10^{-2}\bigr]$
Hence, in the format $(\text{ii}) < (\text{i}) < (\text{iii}) < (\text{iv})$.
Final Answer
$ \boxed{\text{(ii) } < \text{(i) } < \text{(iii) } < \text{(iv)}} \quad \text{(Option B)} $
$0.05 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{~CuSO}_4$ when treated with $0.01 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{~K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$ gives green colour solution of $\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$. The two solutions are separated as shown below : [SPM : Semi Permeable Membrane]

Due to osmosis :
Explanation:
Osmosis leads to the net movement of water molecule from low osmotic pressure to high osmotic pressure. Since the iM value of $0.05 \mathrm{~M} \mathrm{~CuSO}_4$ solution is higher hence it has higher osmotic pressure so the water moves towards $\mathrm{CuSO}_4$ solution leads to drop of its molarity. The solute molecules do not cross S.P.M. via osmosis.
Explanation:
| Salt | Values of i (for different conc. of a Salt) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| NaCl | 0.1 M | 0.01 M | 0.001 M |
| 1.87 | 1.94 | 1.94 | |
The van 't Hoff factor (i) is used to describe the number of particles a solute formula unit produces in a solution. For an electrolyte like $\mathrm{NaCl}$, which dissociates completely in very dilute solutions, the theoretical value of $i$ is approximately 2, since $\mathrm{NaCl}$ dissociates into $\mathrm{Na}^+$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^-$ ions.
In real scenarios, as the concentration of the solution decreases (making the solution more dilute), the interaction between the ions decreases, allowing more complete dissociation. Therefore, for practical purposes, the van 't Hoff factor $i$ approaches its theoretical maximum value as concentration decreases. Thus, for $\mathrm{NaCl}$ solutions of concentrations $0.1 \mathrm{M}$, $0.01 \mathrm{M}$, and $0.001 \mathrm{M}$, the fact that $\mathrm{NaCl}$ dissociates more completely in more dilute solutions implies that $i$ increases with decreasing concentration.
Hence, the order of $i$ based on the concentration would be $\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{A}} < \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{B}} < \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{C}}$, as concentration $0.1 \mathrm{M} > 0.01 \mathrm{M} > 0.001 \mathrm{M}$, respectively. Thus, option B correctly describes the order of the van 't Hoff factors for these solutions.
Identify the mixture that shows positive deviations from Raoult's Law
Explanation:

The solution from the following with highest depression in freezing point/lowest freezing point is
Explanation:
$\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}$ is maximum when $\mathrm{i} \times \mathrm{m}$ is maximum.
1) $\mathrm{m}_1=\frac{180}{60}=3, \mathrm{i}=1+\alpha$
Hence
$\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=(1+\alpha) \cdot \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}=3 \times 1.86=5.58^{\circ} \mathrm{C}(\alpha<<1)$
2) $\mathrm{m}_2=\frac{180}{60}=3, \mathrm{i}=0.5, \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{3}{2} \times \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}{ }^{\prime}=7.68^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
3) $\mathrm{m}_3=\frac{180}{122}=1.48, \mathrm{i}=0.5, \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{1.48}{2} \times \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}{ }^{\prime}=3.8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
4) $\mathrm{m}_4=\frac{180}{180}=1, \mathrm{i}=1, \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=1 \cdot \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}{ }^{\prime}=1.86^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
As per NCERT, $\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}{ }^{\prime}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)=1.86 \mathrm{~k} \cdot \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}{ }^{\prime}(\text { Benzene })=5.12 \mathrm{~k} \cdot \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
What happens to freezing point of benzene when small quantity of napthalene is added to benzene?
Explanation:
When a small quantity of naphthalene is added to benzene, the freezing point of benzene decreases. This phenomenon is due to the colligative property known as freezing point depression. The addition of a solute, such as naphthalene, disrupts the orderly arrangement of solvent molecules in the solid phase, thereby lowering the freezing point.
Mathematically, the decrease in freezing point ($\Delta T_f$) can be represented by the equation:
$ \Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m $
where:
$i$ is the van't Hoff factor (which is 1 for naphthalene as it does not dissociate in solution),
$K_f$ is the cryoscopic constant of the solvent (benzene),
$m$ is the molality of the solution.
Thus, the correct option is:
Option B: Decreases
A solution of two miscible liquids showing negative deviation from Raoult's law will have :
Explanation:
- Negative deviation means the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules of the two liquids (A-B) are stronger than the forces between molecules of the pure liquids (A-A and B-B).
- This stronger attraction makes it harder for molecules to escape into the vapor phase.
Effect on Vapor Pressure and Boiling Point
- Vapor Pressure : Since the molecules are held more tightly, the vapor pressure of the solution will be lower than expected from Raoult's law. Decreased vapor pressure.
- Boiling Point : A lower vapor pressure means you need to increase the temperature further to reach atmospheric pressure, where boiling occurs. Therefore, the boiling point of the solution will be higher than expected. Increased boiling point.
Answer
The correct answer is Option D: decreased vapor pressure, increased boiling point.
What weight of glucose must be dissolved in $100 \mathrm{~g}$ of water to lower the vapour pressure by $0.20 \mathrm{~mm} ~\mathrm{Hg}$ ?
(Assume dilute solution is being formed)
Given : Vapour pressure of pure water is $54.2 \mathrm{~mm} ~\mathrm{Hg}$ at room temperature. Molar mass of glucose is $180 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
Explanation:
$\Delta P = x_{\text{solute}} \cdot P_0$
where $\Delta P$ is the change in vapor pressure, $x_{\text{solute}}$ is the mole fraction of the solute, and $P_0$ is the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.
Rearranging the formula for $x_{\text{solute}}$, we have:
$x_{\text{solute}} = \frac{\Delta P}{P_0}$
Substituting the given values, we get :
$x_{\text{solute}} = \frac{0.20 \, \text{mm Hg}}{54.2 \, \text{mm Hg}} = 0.003689$
Since the mole fraction of the solute is also equal to the number of moles of solute divided by the total number of moles, we can express $x_{\text{solute}}$ as:
$x_{\text{solute}} = \frac{\text{moles}_{\text{solute}}}{\text{moles}_{\text{solute}} + \text{moles}_{\text{water}}}$
Assuming that the solution is dilute, the number of moles of water will be much larger than the number of moles of solute, so we can approximate the total number of moles as the number of moles of water.
Thus, we have :
$x_{\text{solute}} \approx \frac{\text{moles}_{\text{solute}}}{\text{moles}_{\text{water}}}$
Therefore, the number of moles of solute is :
$\text{moles}_{\text{solute}} = x_{\text{solute}} \cdot \text{moles}_{\text{water}}$
The number of moles of water is the mass of the water divided by the molar mass of water (18 g/mol) :
$\text{moles}_{\text{water}} = \frac{100 \, \text{g}}{18 \, \text{g/mol}} = 5.56 \, \text{mol}$
So, the number of moles of solute is :
$\text{moles}_{\text{solute}} = 0.003689 \cdot 5.56 \, \text{mol} = 0.0205 \, \text{mol}$
Finally, to find the mass of the glucose, we multiply the number of moles of glucose by the molar mass of glucose :
$\text{mass}_{\text{glucose}} = \text{moles}_{\text{solute}} \cdot \text{molar mass}_{\text{glucose}}$
$\text{mass}_{\text{glucose}} = 0.0205 \, \text{mol} \cdot 180 \, \text{g/mol} = 3.69 \, \text{g}$
So, the correct answer is 3.69 g.

Explanation:
(B) Azeotropic mixtures boil without change in their composition
(C) Osmosis always takes place from hypotonic (low concentration of solute) solution to hypertonic (high concentration of solute) solution.
(E) When KI solution is added to AgNO3 solution, positively charged solution is formed due to adsorption of Ag+ ions from dispersion medium.
AgI/ Ag+ (positively charged)
(D) Let the mass of H2SO4 (32%) is 100.
$ \therefore \text { Weight of } \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4=32 $
Moles of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4=\frac{32}{98}$
Now, $4.09=\frac{32}{98 \times \mathrm{V}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{V}=79 \mathrm{ml}$
Density $=\frac{100}{79}=1.265$
Hence, correct answer is (C) B and D only.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Explanation:
Boiling point of a $2 \%$ aqueous solution of a non-volatile solute A is equal to the boiling point of $8 \%$ aqueous solution of a non-volatile solute B. The relation between molecular weights of A and B is
Explanation:
$\therefore$ Molality $=\frac{2 / \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{A}}}{0.098}$
For B : $100 \,\mathrm{gm}$ solution $\rightarrow 8 \,\mathrm{gm}$ solute $\mathrm{B}$
$ \begin{aligned} &\therefore \text { Molality }=\frac{8 / \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{B}}}{0.092} \\\\ &\because\left(\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{B}}\right)_{\mathrm{A}}=\left(\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{B}}\right)_{\mathrm{B}} \end{aligned} $
$\therefore$ Molality of $\mathrm{A}=$ Molality of $\mathrm{B}$
$ \therefore \frac{2}{0.098 \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{A}}}=\frac{8}{0.092 \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{B}}} $
$ \frac{2}{98} \times \frac{92}{8}=\frac{M_A}{M_B} $
$ \frac{1}{4.261}=\frac{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{B}}} $
$ \therefore \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{B}}=4.261 \times \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{A}} $
Two solutions A and B are prepared by dissolving 1 g of non-volatile solutes X and Y, respectively in 1 kg of water. The ratio of depression in freezing points for A and B is found to be 1 : 4. The ratio of molar masses of X and Y is
Explanation:
$ \frac{\Delta T_{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{A})}}{\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{B})}}=\frac{1}{4} $
$\frac{\mathrm{i} \times \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}} \times \frac{1}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{A}}} \times 1}{\mathrm{i} \times \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}} \times \frac{1}{\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{B}}} \times 1}=\frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}=\frac{1}{4}$
$M_{A}: M_{B}=4: 1$
The depression in freezing point observed for a formic acid solution of concentration $0.5 \mathrm{~mL} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}$ is $0.0405^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Density of formic acid is $1.05 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1}$. The Van't Hoff factor of the formic acid solution is nearly : (Given for water $\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}=1.86\, \mathrm{k} \,\mathrm{kg}\,\mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ )
Explanation:
Concentration $=0.5 \mathrm{~mL} / \mathrm{L}$
and density $=1.05 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}$
$\therefore$ Mass of formic acid in solution $=1.05 \times 0.5 \mathrm{~g}$
$ =0.525 \mathrm{~g} $
$\therefore$ According to Van't Hoff equation,
$ \begin{aligned} &\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{i} \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\ &0.0405=\mathrm{i} \times 1.86 \times \frac{0.525}{46 \times 1} \end{aligned} $
(Assuming mass of $1 \mathrm{~L}$ water $=\mathrm{kg}$ )
$ \mathrm{i}=\frac{0.0405 \times 46}{1.86 \times 0.525}=1.89 \approx 1.9 $
For a solution of the gases A, B, C and D in water at 298 K, the values of Henry's law constant (KH) are 30.40, 2.34, 1.56 $\times$ 10$-$5 and 0.513 k bar respectively. In the given graph, the lines marked as 'p' and 's' correspond respectively to :

Explanation:
for $x$ constant $: p ~ \alpha ~ K_{\mathrm{i}}$
$p$ has max partial pressures.
So it should have maximum $K_{\mathrm{H}}$ and $s$ have minimum partial pressure, So $K_{H}$ should be minimum.
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : At 10$^\circ$C, the density of a 5 M solution of KCl [atomic masses of K & Cl are 39 & 35.5 g mol$-$1 respectively], is 'x' g ml$-$1. The solution is cooled to $-$21$^\circ$C. The molality of the solution will remain unchanged.
Reason (R) : The molality of a solution does not change with temperature as mass remains unaffected with temperature.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Explanation:
Solute A associates in water. When 0.7 g of solute A is dissolved in 42.0 g of water, it depresses the freezing point by 0.2$^\circ$C. The percentage association of solute A in water, is :
[Given : Molar mass of A = 93 g mol$-$1. Molal depression constant of water is 1.86 K kg mol$-$1.]
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} &m=\frac{0.7}{93} \times \frac{1000}{42} \\\\ &0.2=i \times 1.86 \times \frac{0.7 \times 1000}{93 \times 42} \\\\ &i=0.6 \\\\ &\alpha=\frac{i-1}{\frac{1}{n}-1}=\frac{0.6-1}{\frac{1}{2}-1}=0.8 \end{aligned} $
Hence, the percentage association of solute $A$ is $80 \%$.
Explanation:
greater the value of i, greater will be the ΔTf value.
Van't Hoff factor is highest for KHSO4
$\therefore$ colligative property ($\Delta$Tf) will be highest for KHSO4
Explanation:
To determine which solution has the lowest freezing point, you should consider the van 't Hoff factor $i$, which represents the number of particles the solute dissociates into when dissolved. The freezing point depression is given by:
$ \Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m $
where:
$\Delta T_f$ is the change in freezing point,
$K_f$ is the freezing point depression constant,
$m$ is the molality of the solution,
$i$ is the van 't Hoff factor, which depends on the dissociation of the solute.
For each solute, the van 't Hoff factor $i$ can be determined as follows:
Option A: $\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3$
Dissociates into 2 Al$^{3+}$ ions and 3 SO$_4^{2-}$ ions.
$i = 2 + 3 = 5$
Option B: $\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6$ (glucose)
Does not dissociate in solution (non-electrolyte).
$i = 1$
Option C: $\text{KI}$
Dissociates into K$^+$ and I$^-$ ions.
$i = 1 + 1 = 2$
Option D: $\text{K}_2\text{SO}_4$
Dissociates into 2 K$^+$ ions and 1 SO$_4^{2-}$ ion.
$i = 2 + 1 = 3$
Comparing the van 't Hoff factors, the solution of $\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3$ will have the highest factor ($i = 5$), leading to the greatest freezing point depression. Thus, the $\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3$ solution will have the lowest freezing point since the extent of freezing point depression is directly proportional to $i$.
Therefore, the solution of $\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3$ has the lowest freezing point.
[Given, molar mass of A = 100 g mol–1; B = 200 g mol–1; C = 10,000 g mol–1]
Explanation:
= ${{P - {P_s}} \over P} = {n \over {n + N}}$
n $ \to $ moles of solute
N $ \to $ moles of solvent
$ \therefore $ (RLVP)A = ${{{{10} \over {100}}} \over {{{10} \over {100}} + {{180} \over {18}}}}$
(RLVP)B = ${{{{10} \over {200}}} \over {{{10} \over {200}} + {{180} \over {18}}}}$
and (RLVP)C = ${{{{10} \over {10000}}} \over {{{10} \over {10000}} + {{180} \over {18}}}}$
$ \therefore $ (RLVP)A > (RLVP)B > (RLVP)C
So, A > B > C
