What is the molar mass of a metal with a $BCC$ structure having a density of $10 \ g \ cm^{-3}$ and an edge length of $200 \ pm$?
A
$90.2 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
B
$21.1 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$48.0 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$24.0 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(D) For a $BCC$ structure, the number of atoms per unit cell is $Z = 2$.
The formula for density is $d = \frac{Z \cdot M}{N_A \cdot a^3}$.
Given: $d = 10 \ g \ cm^{-3}$, $a = 200 \ pm = 200 \times 10^{-10} \ cm = 2 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$, and $N_A \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $10 = \frac{2 \times M}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times (2 \times 10^{-8})^3}$.
$10 = \frac{2 \times M}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 8 \times 10^{-24}}$.
$10 = \frac{2 \times M}{4.8176}$.
$M = \frac{10 \times 4.8176}{2} = 24.088 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Thus, the molar mass is approximately $24.0 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

What is the number of unit cells present in $3.9 \ g$ of potassium if it crystallizes in $BCC$ structure?
A
$\frac{N_{A}}{10}$
B
$N_{A} \times 10$
C
$2 \ N_{A}$
D
$\frac{N_{A}}{20}$

Solution

(D) The atomic mass of potassium $(K)$ is $39 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of potassium $= \frac{3.9 \ g}{39 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol$.
Number of atoms $= \text{moles} \times N_{A} = 0.1 \ N_{A}$.
In a $BCC$ unit cell,the number of atoms per unit cell $(n)$ is $2$.
Therefore,the number of unit cells $= \frac{\text{Total number of atoms}}{n} = \frac{0.1 \ N_{A}}{2} = \frac{N_{A}}{20}$.

An element (molar mass $180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) has a $BCC$ crystal structure with a density of $18 \ g \ cm^{-3}$. What is the edge length of the unit cell?
A
$\sqrt[3]{23.2} \times 10^{-8} \ cm$
B
$\sqrt[3]{12.6} \times 10^{-8} \ cm$
C
$\sqrt[3]{33.2} \times 10^{-8} \ cm$
D
$\sqrt[3]{22.6} \times 10^{-8} \ cm$

Solution

(C) Given: Molar mass $M = 180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,Density $\rho = 18 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,Avogadro constant $N_A \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
For a $BCC$ crystal,the number of atoms per unit cell $z = 2$.
The formula for density is $\rho = \frac{M \times z}{a^3 \times N_A}$.
Rearranging for the edge length $a$: $a^3 = \frac{M \times z}{\rho \times N_A}$.
Substituting the values: $a^3 = \frac{180 \times 2}{18 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx \frac{360}{108.396 \times 10^{23}} \approx 3.32 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3$.
To match the format,we write $a^3 = 33.2 \times 10^{-24} \ cm^3$.
Therefore,$a = \sqrt[3]{33.2} \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.

An element with a simple cubic structure has an edge length of unit cell $3.86 \ \mathring{A}$. What is the radius of the atom?
A
$5.79 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$
B
$1.93 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$
C
$3.86 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$
D
$2.43 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$

Solution

(B) In a simple cubic structure,the atoms touch along the edge of the unit cell.
Therefore,the relationship between the edge length $a$ and the atomic radius $r$ is $a = 2r$.
Given $a = 3.86 \ \mathring{A}$.
$r = \frac{a}{2} = \frac{3.86 \ \mathring{A}}{2} = 1.93 \ \mathring{A}$.
Converting to centimeters: $1 \ \mathring{A} = 10^{-8} \ cm$.
So,$r = 1.93 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.

$3.64 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3$
B
$1.56 \times 10^{-24} \ cm^3$
C
$2.76 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3$
D
$1.88 \times 10^{-24} \ cm^3$

Solution

(C) The density formula for a unit cell is given by: $\rho = \frac{Z \times M}{N_A \times a^3}$,where $a^3$ is the volume of the unit cell $(V)$.
For a $BCC$ structure,the number of atoms per unit cell $(Z)$ is $2$.
Given: Atomic mass $(M)$ = $25 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,Density $(\rho)$ = $3 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,$N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Rearranging the formula for volume $(V)$: $V = \frac{Z \times M}{\rho \times N_A}$.
Substituting the values: $V = \frac{2 \times 25}{3 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}}$.
$V = \frac{50}{18.066 \times 10^{23}} \approx 2.767 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3$.

What is the percentage efficiency of packing in $BCC$ structure (in $\%$)?
A
$32$
B
$74$
C
$26$
D
$68$

Solution

(D) Packing efficiency is defined as the fraction of the total volume of the unit cell occupied by the atoms.
For a $BCC$ (Body-Centered Cubic) structure:
$1$. The number of atoms per unit cell $(z)$ is $2$.
$2$. The relationship between the edge length $(a)$ and the atomic radius $(r)$ is $r = \frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4}$,or $a = \frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}}$.
$3$. The volume of the unit cell $(V)$ is $a^3 = (\frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}})^3 = \frac{64r^3}{3\sqrt{3}}$.
$4$. The volume occupied by $2$ atoms is $2 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{8}{3} \pi r^3$.
$5$. Packing efficiency = $\frac{\text{Volume of atoms}}{\text{Volume of unit cell}} \times 100 = \frac{\frac{8}{3} \pi r^3}{\frac{64r^3}{3\sqrt{3}}} \times 100 = \frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{8} \times 100 \approx 0.68 \times 100 = 68 \%$.

A
$3.2$
B
$8.2$
C
$5.18$
D
$4.8$

Solution

(C) For a $BCC$ unit cell,the number of atoms per unit cell,$Z = 2$.
The edge length $a = 400 \ pm = 400 \times 10^{-10} \ cm = 4 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
The molar mass $M = 100 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
The density $d$ is given by the formula: $d = \frac{Z \times M}{N_A \times a^3}$.
Substituting the values: $d = \frac{2 \times 100}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times (4 \times 10^{-8})^3}$.
$d = \frac{200}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 64 \times 10^{-24}}$.
$d = \frac{200}{6.022 \times 64 \times 10^{-1}} = \frac{200}{38.54} \approx 5.18 \ g \ cm^{-3}$.

What is the percentage of unoccupied volume in $BCC$ structure (in $\%$)?
A
$32$
B
$74$
C
$26$
D
$68$

Solution

(A) Packing efficiency $\text{P.E.} = \frac{z \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3}{V} = \frac{2 \times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi (\frac{\sqrt{3} a}{4})^3}{a^3} = \frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{8} \approx 0.68$ or $68 \%$.
Since $z = 2$,$r = \frac{\sqrt{3} a}{4}$,and $V = a^3$ for a $BCC$ unit cell.
In $BCC$ structure,$68 \%$ of the total volume is occupied by atoms.
Therefore,the percentage of unoccupied volume (void space) is $100 \% - 68 \% = 32 \%$.

For a $BCC$ unit cell,the number of atoms per unit cell is $Z = 2$.
The edge length $a = 3.3 \ \mathring{A} = 3.3 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
The density formula is given by $d = \frac{Z \cdot M}{N_A \cdot a^3}$,where $N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Rearranging for molar mass $M$: $M = \frac{d \cdot N_A \cdot a^3}{Z}$.
Substituting the values: $M = \frac{8.57 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times (3.3 \times 10^{-8})^3}{2}$.
$M = \frac{8.57 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 35.937 \times 10^{-24}}{2}$.
$M = \frac{185.48}{2} \approx 92.74 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

B
$4.1 \times 10^{22}$
C
$5.0 \times 10^{22}$
D
$2.0 \times 10^{22}$

Solution

Alternatively,$d = \frac{Z \times \text{mass of one atom}}{V}$.
For a $bcc$ structure,the number of atoms per unit cell is $Z = 2$.
Given: $d = 9 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,$V = 2.7 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3$,and total mass $= 2.43 \ g$.
Let $N$ be the total number of atoms in $2.43 \ g$.
The mass of one atom is $\frac{2.43}{N}$.
Substituting the values into the density formula: $9 = \frac{2 \times (2.43 / N)}{2.7 \times 10^{-23}}$.
Rearranging for $N$: $N = \frac{2 \times 2.43}{9 \times 2.7 \times 10^{-23}}$.
$N = \frac{4.86}{24.3 \times 10^{-23}} = 0.2 \times 10^{23} = 2.0 \times 10^{22}$ atoms.

Solution

(A) In a $BCC$ unit cell,the number of particles $(Z) = 2$.
The relation between edge length '$a$' and radius '$r$' is $\sqrt{3} a = 4 r$,which gives $r = \frac{\sqrt{3} a}{4}$.
The volume occupied by particles is calculated as $Z \times \text{Volume of one sphere}$.
$\text{Volume} = 2 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$.
Substituting $r$: $\text{Volume} = 2 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{\sqrt{3} a}{4})^3$.
$\text{Volume} = \frac{8}{3} \pi \times \frac{3 \sqrt{3} a^3}{64}$.
$\text{Volume} = \frac{\sqrt{3} \pi a^3}{8}$.

B
$(3.91 \times 10^{-20})^{1/3} \ cm$
C
$(3.01 \times 10^{-224})^{1/3} \ cm$
D
$(3.30 \times 10^{-20})^{1/3} \ cm$

Solution

(A) The density formula for a unit cell is $d = \frac{Z \cdot M}{N_A \cdot a^3}$.
For a $BCC$ structure,the number of atoms per unit cell is $Z = 2$.
Given: $d = 8.55 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,$M = 93 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,$N_A \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Rearranging for $a^3$: $a^3 = \frac{Z \cdot M}{d \cdot N_A}$.
Substituting the values: $a^3 = \frac{2 \times 93}{8.55 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx 3.61 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3$.
Therefore,the edge length $a = (3.61 \times 10^{-23})^{1/3} \ cm$.

For a simple cubic crystal,the edge length is expressed as:
A
$a=2r$
B
$a=\frac{r}{2}$
C
$a=\frac{r}{4}$
D
$a=\frac{r}{\sqrt{2}}$

Solution

(A) In a simple cubic unit cell,the atoms are present only at the corners of the cube.
These atoms touch each other along the edge of the cube.
Let '$a$' be the edge length of the unit cell and '$r$' be the radius of the atom.
Since the atoms touch along the edge,the edge length '$a$' is equal to the sum of the radii of the two touching atoms.
Therefore,$a = r + r = 2r$.

The density of chromium metal is $7 \ g \ cm^{-3}$. If the edge length of the unit cell is $300 \ pm$, identify the type of unit cell. (Atomic mass of $Cr = 52$)
A
Body centred cubic
B
Simple cubic
C
Hexagonal close pack
D
Face centred cubic

Solution

(A) The formula for density is $d = \frac{Z \cdot M}{N_{A} \cdot a^3}$.
Rearranging to solve for $Z$: $Z = \frac{d \cdot N_{A} \cdot a^3}{M}$.
Given: $d = 7 \ g \ cm^{-3}$, $a = 300 \ pm = 300 \times 10^{-10} \ cm = 3 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$, $M = 52 \ g \ mol^{-1}$, and $N_{A} = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $Z = \frac{7 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times (3 \times 10^{-8})^3}{52}$.
$Z = \frac{7 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 27 \times 10^{-24}}{52} \approx \frac{1138.158 \times 10^{-1}}{52} \approx \frac{113.8}{52} \approx 2.18 \approx 2$.
Since $Z = 2$, the unit cell is Body centred cubic $(BCC)$.

If vapour pressure of pure solvent and solution are $240 \ mm Hg$ and $216 \ mm Hg$ respectively,then the mole fraction of solvent in the solution is:
A
$0.9$
B
$0.1$
C
$0.6$
D
$0.4$

Solution

(A) Given: Vapour pressure of pure solvent,$P_1^0 = 240 \ mm Hg$.
Vapour pressure of solution,$P_1 = 216 \ mm Hg$.
According to Raoult's Law,the relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to the mole fraction of the solute $(x_2)$:
$\frac{P_1^0 - P_1}{P_1^0} = x_2$
$\frac{240 - 216}{240} = x_2$
$x_2 = \frac{24}{240} = 0.1$
The mole fraction of the solvent $(x_1)$ is given by $x_1 = 1 - x_2$.
$x_1 = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9$.

Which of the following solutions shows positive deviation from Raoult's law?
A
Ethanol + Acetone
B
Chloroform + Acetone
C
Benzene + Toluene
D
Phenol + Aniline

Solution

(A) In a positive deviation from Raoult's law,the solute-solvent intermolecular forces are weaker than the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions.
$Ethanol + Acetone$ shows positive deviation because the hydrogen bonding in pure ethanol is disrupted by the addition of acetone.
$Chloroform + Acetone$ shows negative deviation due to the formation of strong hydrogen bonds between them.
$Benzene + Toluene$ forms an ideal solution.
$Phenol + Aniline$ shows negative deviation due to strong hydrogen bonding between the two components.

What is the vapour pressure of a solution containing $0.1 \ mol$ of non-volatile solute dissolved in $16.2 \ g$ of water (in $mm \ Hg$)? $(P_1^{\circ} = 32 \ mm \ Hg)$
A
$21.6$
B
$28.8$
C
$15.7$
D
$18.1$

Solution

(B) According to Raoult's law for non-volatile solutes: $\frac{P^{\circ} - P_s}{P^{\circ}} = X_{\text{solute}}$
Here,$P^{\circ} = 32 \ mm \ Hg$,$n_{\text{solute}} = 0.1 \ mol$.
The number of moles of solvent (water) is $n_{\text{solvent}} = \frac{16.2 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 0.9 \ mol$.
The mole fraction of the solute is $X_{\text{solute}} = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{n_{\text{solute}} + n_{\text{solvent}}} = \frac{0.1}{0.1 + 0.9} = \frac{0.1}{1.0} = 0.1$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{32 - P_s}{32} = 0.1$.
$32 - P_s = 32 \times 0.1 = 3.2$.
$P_s = 32 - 3.2 = 28.8 \ mm \ Hg$.

What is the vapour pressure of a solution containing $0.1 \ mol$ of solute dissolved in $1.8 \times 10^{-2} \ kg$ of $H_2O$ (in $mm \ Hg$)? $(P_1^0 = 24 \ mm \ Hg)$
A
$12.40$
B
$18.12$
C
$15.72$
D
$21.84$

Solution

(D) The relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by the formula: $\frac{P_1^0 - P_s}{P_1^0} = X_{\text{solute}} = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{n_{\text{solute}} + n_{\text{solvent}}}$
Mass of water $= 1.8 \times 10^{-2} \ kg = 18 \ g$.
Moles of water $(n_{\text{solvent}})$ $= \frac{18 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 1 \ mol$.
Given $n_{\text{solute}} = 0.1 \ mol$ and $P_1^0 = 24 \ mm \ Hg$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{24 - P_s}{24} = \frac{0.1}{0.1 + 1} = \frac{0.1}{1.1} = \frac{1}{11}$.
$24 - P_s = \frac{24}{11} \approx 2.18 \ mm \ Hg$.
$P_s = 24 - 2.18 = 21.82 \ mm \ Hg \approx 21.84 \ mm \ Hg$.

C
Phenol + aniline
D
Ethanol + acetone

Solution

(A) An ideal solution is one that obeys Raoult's law over the entire range of concentration and shows no change in enthalpy or volume upon mixing.
Benzene and toluene have similar molecular structures and intermolecular forces,making their mixture behave nearly as an ideal solution.
Chloroform and acetone show negative deviation due to hydrogen bonding.
Phenol and aniline show negative deviation due to strong hydrogen bonding.
Ethanol and acetone show positive deviation due to the disruption of hydrogen bonds.

What is the vapour pressure of a solution containing $1 \ mol$ of a non-volatile solute in $36 \ g$ of water (in $mm \ Hg$)? $(P_1^0 = 400 \ mm \ Hg)$
A
$334$
B
$267$
C
$240$
D
$284$

Solution

(B) According to Raoult's law for non-volatile solutes: $\frac{P_1^0 - P_s}{P_1^0} = X_{\text{solute}} = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{n_{\text{solute}} + n_{\text{water}}}$.
Number of moles of water $(n_{\text{water}})$ = $\frac{36 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 2 \ mol$.
Given $n_{\text{solute}} = 1 \ mol$ and $P_1^0 = 400 \ mm \ Hg$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{400 - P_s}{400} = \frac{1}{1 + 2} = \frac{1}{3}$.
$400 - P_s = \frac{400}{3} = 133.33 \ mm \ Hg$.
$P_s = 400 - 133.33 = 266.67 \ mm \ Hg \approx 267 \ mm \ Hg$.

A
$0.24$
B

Solution

(C) According to Henry's Law,the solubility of a gas is given by the formula: $\text{Solubility} = K_H \times P_{gas}$.
Given,$K_H = 0.16 \ mol \ L^{-1} \ bar^{-1}$ and $\text{Solubility} = 0.08 \ mol \ L^{-1}$.
Rearranging the formula to solve for pressure: $P_{gas} = \frac{\text{Solubility}}{K_H}$.
Substituting the values: $P_{gas} = \frac{0.08 \ mol \ L^{-1}}{0.16 \ mol \ L^{-1} \ bar^{-1}} = 0.5 \ bar$.

A
$2.0 \times 10^{-5} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ bar^{-1}$
B
$7.0 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ bar^{-1}$
C
$3.5 \times 10^{-3} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ bar^{-1}$
D
$3.1 \times 10^{-5} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ bar^{-1}$

Solution

(B) According to Henry's law,the solubility $(S)$ of a gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure $(p)$ of the gas: $S = K_H \times p$.
Given:
Solubility $(S)$ = $7 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ L^{-1}$
Pressure $(p)$ = $1 \ bar$
Substituting the values into the formula:
$7 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ L^{-1} = K_H \times 1 \ bar$
Therefore,$K_H = \frac{7 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ L^{-1}}{1 \ bar} = 7 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ bar^{-1}$.

Regarding Henry's law,which of the following is not a correct statement?
A
Different gases have different $K_H$ (Henry's law constant) values at the same temperature.
B
The partial pressure of the gas in the vapour phase is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
C
Higher the value of $K_H$ at a given pressure,higher is the solubility of the gas in the liquids.
D
The value of $K_H$ increases with an increase in temperature and $K_H$ is a function of the nature of the gas.

Solution

(C) According to Henry's law,$p = K_H \times x$,where $p$ is the partial pressure of the gas,$K_H$ is the Henry's law constant,and $x$ is the mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
$1$. $K_H$ depends on the nature of the gas and increases with an increase in temperature.
$2$. From the relation $p = K_H \times x$,we can write $x = p / K_H$. This shows that for a given pressure $p$,the solubility $(x)$ is inversely proportional to $K_H$.
$3$. Therefore,a higher value of $K_H$ implies lower solubility of the gas in the liquid.
$4$. Thus,the statement 'Higher the value of $K_H$ at a given pressure,higher is the solubility of the gas in the liquids' is incorrect.

What is the cryoscopic constant of water if $5 \ g$ of glucose in $100 \ g$ of water causes a depression in freezing point of $2.15 \ K$? (Molar mass of glucose $= 180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$)
A
$7.74 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
B
$0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
C
$1.32 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
D
$3.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The formula for depression in freezing point is $\Delta T_f = K_f \cdot m$.
First,calculate the molality $(m)$ of the solution:
$m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in } kg} = \frac{5 \ g / 180 \ g \ mol^{-1}}{0.1 \ kg} = \frac{5}{18} \ mol \ kg^{-1} \approx 0.2778 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Given $\Delta T_f = 2.15 \ K$.
Substituting the values into the formula: $2.15 = K_f \cdot (5/18)$.
$K_f = \frac{2.15 \times 18}{5} = 7.74 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.

Which of the following solutions does not flow in either direction when separated by a semipermeable membrane? (Molar mass: glucose $= 180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,urea $= 60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$)
A
$18 \ g$ urea $dm^{-3}$
B
$6 \ g$ urea $dm^{-3}$ and $36 \ g$ glucose $dm^{-3}$
C
$6 \ g$ urea $dm^{-3}$ and $24 \ g$ glucose $dm^{-3}$
D
$12 \ g$ urea $dm^{-3}$ and $36 \ g$ glucose $dm^{-3}$

Solution

(D) For two solutions to have no net flow across a semipermeable membrane,they must be isotonic,meaning their molar concentrations must be equal.
$M_{urea} = \frac{12 \ g / 60 \ g \ mol^{-1}}{1 \ dm^3} = 0.2 \ M$
$M_{glucose} = \frac{36 \ g / 180 \ g \ mol^{-1}}{1 \ dm^3} = 0.2 \ M$
Since the molar concentrations of urea and glucose in option $D$ are equal $(0.2 \ M)$,the osmotic pressures are equal $(\pi_1 = \pi_2)$.
Therefore,no net flow of solvent occurs between these two solutions.

$A$ solution of $6 \ g$ of solute in $100 \ g$ of water boils at $100.52^{\circ} C$. The molal elevation constant of water is $0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$. What is the molar mass of the solute?
A
$60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
B
$120 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$90 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(A) Given: $W_2 = 6 \ g$ (mass of solute),$W_1 = 100 \ g$ (mass of solvent),$K_b = 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,$T_b = 100.52^{\circ} C$.
Elevation in boiling point $\Delta T_b = T_b - T_b^{\circ} = 100.52^{\circ} C - 100^{\circ} C = 0.52 \ K$.
Using the formula for molar mass of solute: $M_2 = \frac{1000 \cdot K_b \cdot W_2}{\Delta T_b \cdot W_1}$.
Substituting the values: $M_2 = \frac{1000 \times 0.52 \times 6}{0.52 \times 100}$.
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times 6}{100} = 60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

A
$101.52$
B
$99.95$
C
$99.48$
D
$100.052$

Solution

(D) The formula for elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$.
Given that the solution is decimolal,the molality $m = 0.1 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Given $K_b = 0.52 \ ^{\circ}C \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Calculating the elevation in boiling point: $\Delta T_b = 0.52 \times 0.1 = 0.052 \ ^{\circ}C$.
The boiling point of pure water $T_b^{\circ}$ is $100 \ ^{\circ}C$.
The boiling point of the solution $T_b$ is given by $T_b = T_b^{\circ} + \Delta T_b$.
$T_b = 100 \ ^{\circ}C + 0.052 \ ^{\circ}C = 100.052 \ ^{\circ}C$.

What is the boiling point of a $0.5 \ m$ aqueous solution of sucrose if a $0.1 \ m$ aqueous solution of glucose boils at $100.16^{\circ} C$ (in $^{\circ} C$)?
A
$100.32$
B
$100.80$
C
$100.16$
D
$100.62$

Solution

(B) The elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \cdot m$.
For the glucose solution: $T_{b} - T_{b}^{\circ} = K_{b} \cdot m$.
$100.16^{\circ} C - 100^{\circ} C = K_{b} \times 0.1 \ m$.
$0.16 = K_{b} \times 0.1$,so $K_{b} = 1.6 \ ^{\circ} C \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Now,for the sucrose solution: $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m = 1.6 \times 0.5 = 0.80^{\circ} C$.
The boiling point of the sucrose solution is $T_{b} = T_{b}^{\circ} + \Delta T_{b} = 100^{\circ} C + 0.80^{\circ} C = 100.80^{\circ} C$.

A
$29.1$
B
$12$
C
$6$
D
$9$

Solution

(A) According to Raoult's law for non-volatile solutes,the relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to the mole fraction of the solute:
$\frac{P^{\circ} - P_s}{P^{\circ}} = X_{solute} = \frac{n_{solute}}{n_{solute} + n_{solvent}}$
Given: $n_{solute} = 2 \ mol$,$n_{solvent} = 20 \ mol$,$P^{\circ} = 32 \ mm \ Hg$
Substituting the values:
$\frac{32 - P_s}{32} = \frac{2}{2 + 20} = \frac{2}{22} = \frac{1}{11}$
$32 - P_s = 32 \times \frac{1}{11} \approx 2.91 \ mm \ Hg$
$P_s = 32 - 2.91 = 29.09 \ mm \ Hg \approx 29.1 \ mm \ Hg$

A
$120 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
B
$60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$90 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The formula for freezing point depression is $\Delta T_{f} = K_{f} \cdot m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{6 / M}{100 / 1000} = \frac{6}{M} \times 10 = \frac{60}{M} \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Given $\Delta T_{f} = 0.93 \ K$ and $K_{f} = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.93 = 1.86 \times \frac{60}{M}$.
$M = \frac{1.86 \times 60}{0.93} = 2 \times 60 = 120 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

B
$271.77 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
C
$2.77 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
D
$27.7 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(C) The molal depression constant $(K_f)$ is defined as the depression in freezing point for a $1 \ molal$ solution.
Since $K_f = \frac{\Delta T_f}{m}$,the unit involves a temperature difference.
$A$ temperature difference of $1^{\circ} C$ is equivalent to a temperature difference of $1 \ K$.
Therefore,the numerical value of the molal depression constant remains the same when expressed in $K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Thus,$2.77^{\circ} C \ kg \ mol^{-1} = 2.77 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.

Given:
Lowering in vapour pressure,$P^{\circ} - P_{S} = 2.5 \ mm \ Hg$
Vapour pressure of pure solvent,$P^{\circ} = 250 \ mm \ Hg$
Substituting the values:
$X_{\text{solute}} = \frac{2.5}{250}$
$X_{\text{solute}} = 0.01$
