Calculate the vapour pressure of pure volatile liquid $B$ $(P_B^o)$ at a given temperature if the mole fraction of liquid $B$ $(x_B)$ is $0.4$ and the vapour pressure of pure volatile liquid $A$ $(P_A^o)$ is $400 \ mm \ Hg$. The total vapour pressure of the solution is $P_{total} = 600 \ mm \ Hg$. (in $mm \ Hg$)
A
$750$
B
$800$
C
$850$
D
$900$

Solution

(D) According to Raoult's Law for a solution of two volatile liquids,$P_{total} = P_A^o x_A + P_B^o x_B$.
Given: $x_B = 0.4$,so $x_A = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6$.
Given: $P_A^o = 400 \ mm \ Hg$ and $P_{total} = 600 \ mm \ Hg$.
Substituting the values: $600 = (400 \times 0.6) + (P_B^o \times 0.4)$.
$600 = 240 + 0.4 P_B^o$.
$0.4 P_B^o = 600 - 240 = 360$.
$P_B^o = \frac{360}{0.4} = 900 \ mm \ Hg$.
Therefore,the correct option is $D$.

Which of the following mixtures exhibits positive deviation from Raoult's law?
A
Ethanol and acetone
B
Benzene and toluene
C
Chloroform and acetone
D
Phenol and aniline

Solution

(A) mixture exhibits positive deviation from Raoult's law when the intermolecular forces between the components are weaker than the forces in the pure components.
In the mixture of $Ethanol$ and $Acetone$,the hydrogen bonding between $Ethanol$ molecules is disrupted by the addition of $Acetone$,leading to weaker interactions.
Therefore,the total vapor pressure of the solution is higher than that predicted by Raoult's law.
$Benzene$ and $Toluene$ form an ideal solution.
$Chloroform$ and $Acetone$ exhibit negative deviation due to strong hydrogen bonding between them.
$Phenol$ and $Aniline$ also exhibit negative deviation.

Calculate the vapour pressure of pure volatile liquid $A$ at a given temperature if the mole fraction and vapour pressure of pure volatile liquid $B$ are $0.4$ and $900 \ mm \ Hg$ respectively,given that the total vapour pressure of the solution is $600 \ mm \ Hg$. (in $mm \ Hg$)
A
$450$
B
$560$
C
$500$
D
$400$

Solution

(D) According to Raoult's Law for a binary solution of two volatile liquids $A$ and $B$:
$P_{total} = P_A + P_B = P_A^0 \chi_A + P_B^0 \chi_B$
Given:
$P_B^0 = 900 \ mm \ Hg$
$\chi_B = 0.4$
$P_{total} = 600 \ mm \ Hg$
Since $\chi_A + \chi_B = 1$,we have $\chi_A = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6$.
Substituting the values into the equation:
$600 = P_A^0(0.6) + (900)(0.4)$
$600 = P_A^0(0.6) + 360$
$P_A^0(0.6) = 600 - 360 = 240$
$P_A^0 = \frac{240}{0.6} = 400 \ mm \ Hg$
Thus,the vapour pressure of pure liquid $A$ is $400 \ mm \ Hg$.

Calculate the mole fraction of pure liquid $B$ in solution if total vapour pressure of solution,vapour pressure of pure liquid $A$ and vapour pressure of pure liquid $B$ are $500 \ mmHg$,$400 \ mmHg$ and $575 \ mmHg$ respectively at given temperature.
A
$0.43$
B
$0.57$
C
$0.62$
D
$0.38$

Solution

(B) According to Raoult's Law,the total vapour pressure of a solution is given by $P_{total} = P_A^0 x_A + P_B^0 x_B$.
Given: $P_{total} = 500 \ mmHg$,$P_A^0 = 400 \ mmHg$,$P_B^0 = 575 \ mmHg$.
Since $x_A + x_B = 1$,we can write $x_A = 1 - x_B$.
Substituting these values into the equation: $500 = 400(1 - x_B) + 575x_B$.
$500 = 400 - 400x_B + 575x_B$.
$500 - 400 = 175x_B$.
$100 = 175x_B$.
$x_B = \frac{100}{175} = \frac{4}{7} \approx 0.57$.

Which from the following liquid mixtures behaves nearly as an ideal solution?
A
Benzene + toluene
B
Phenol + aniline
C
Chloroform + acetone
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 $(\Delta H_{mix} = 0)$ or volume $(\Delta V_{mix} = 0)$ upon mixing.
Benzene and toluene have similar molecular structures and polarities,resulting in similar intermolecular forces between the components.
Therefore,the mixture of benzene and toluene behaves nearly as an ideal solution.
Other options like phenol + aniline,chloroform + acetone,and ethanol + acetone show significant deviations from Raoult's law due to strong hydrogen bonding or dipole-dipole interactions.

A
$0.0225$
B
$0.0182$
C
$0.0293$
D
$0.0261$

Solution

(A) According to Henry's Law,the concentration of a dissolved gas $(C)$ is directly proportional to its partial pressure $(P)$ above the liquid surface.
The formula is given by: $C = K_H \times P$
Given:
$K_H = 0.15 \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ atm^{-1}$
$P = 0.15 \ atm$
Substituting the values:
$C = 0.15 \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ atm^{-1} \times 0.15 \ atm$
$C = 0.0225 \ mol \ dm^{-3}$
Since $1 \ mol \ dm^{-3} = 1 \ M$,the concentration is $0.0225 \ M$.

A
$5.88 \times 10^{-4} \ M$
B
$6.12 \times 10^{-4} \ M$
C
$5.44 \times 10^{-4} \ M$
D
$6.48 \times 10^{-4} \ M$

Solution

(C) According to Henry's law,the solubility $(S)$ of a gas in a liquid is given by the formula: $S = K_H \times P$
Where:
$K_H = 6.8 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ atm^{-1}$
$P = 0.8 \ atm$
Substituting the values:
$S = (6.8 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ dm^{-3} \ atm^{-1}) \times (0.8 \ atm)$
$S = 5.44 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ dm^{-3}$
Since $1 \ mol \ dm^{-3} = 1 \ M$,the solubility is $5.44 \times 10^{-4} \ M$.

Find the molar mass of a nonvolatile solute when $20 \ g$ of it is dissolved in $200 \ g$ of water at $300 \ K$. [Relative lowering of vapour pressure $= 0.02$]
A
$120 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
B
$110 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$90 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$100 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(C) The relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by the formula: $\frac{P^o - P}{P^o} = \frac{n_2}{n_1 + n_2} \approx \frac{n_2}{n_1}$ (for dilute solutions).
Here,$n_2 = \frac{w_2}{M_2}$ and $n_1 = \frac{w_1}{M_1}$.
Given: $w_2 = 20 \ g$,$w_1 = 200 \ g$,$M_1 = 18 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ (for water),and $\frac{P^o - P}{P^o} = 0.02$.
Substituting the values: $0.02 = \frac{20 / M_2}{200 / 18}$.
$0.02 = \frac{20}{M_2} \times \frac{18}{200}$.
$0.02 = \frac{18}{10 M_2} = \frac{1.8}{M_2}$.
$M_2 = \frac{1.8}{0.02} = 90 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

A
$12.3$
B
$23.6$
C
$35.00$
D
$48.1$

Solution

(B) The formula for freezing point depression is $\Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times m$.
Given: $\Delta T_f = 0.046 \ K$,$K_f = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,$m = 0.02 \ m$.
First,calculate the van't Hoff factor $(i)$:
$i = \frac{\Delta T_f}{K_f \times m} = \frac{0.046}{1.86 \times 0.02} = \frac{0.046}{0.0372} \approx 1.2366$.
For dissociation,the degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ is given by $\alpha = \frac{i - 1}{n - 1}$.
Given $n = 2$,$\alpha = \frac{1.2366 - 1}{2 - 1} = 0.2366$.
Percent dissociation = $\alpha \times 100 = 0.2366 \times 100 = 23.66 \% \approx 23.6 \%$.
Therefore,the correct option is $B$.

Given: $\pi = 12 \ atm$,$T = 300 \ K$,$R = 0.0821 \ atm \ dm^3 \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$.
Rearranging the formula for concentration: $C = \frac{\pi}{RT}$.
Substituting the values: $C = \frac{12}{0.0821 \times 300}$.
$C = \frac{12}{24.63} \approx 0.487 \ M$.
Therefore,the correct option is $B$.

B
$3.0 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
C
$2.5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
D
$3.5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(C) The elevation in boiling point is given by the formula: $\Delta T_b = T_b - T_b^\circ$
Given,$T_b = 319.8 \ K$ and $T_b^\circ = 319.5 \ K$.
So,$\Delta T_b = 319.8 \ K - 319.5 \ K = 0.3 \ K$.
The formula for elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality.
Given $m = 0.12 \ m$.
Therefore,$K_b = \frac{\Delta T_b}{m} = \frac{0.3 \ K}{0.12 \ mol \ kg^{-1}} = 2.5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

Solution

(A) The formula for osmotic pressure $(\pi)$ is given by $\pi = CRT$,where $C$ is the molar concentration,$R$ is the gas constant,and $T$ is the temperature in Kelvin.
First,calculate the molar concentration $(C)$:
$C = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.03 \ mol}{0.1 \ dm^3} = 0.3 \ mol \ dm^{-3}$.
Now,substitute the values into the formula:
$\pi = 0.3 \ mol \ dm^{-3} \times 0.0821 \ dm^3 \ atm \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1} \times 300 \ K$.
$\pi = 0.3 \times 0.0821 \times 300 \ atm$.

Which of the following solutions exhibits the highest freezing point depression?
A
$0.1 \ m \ NaCl$
B
$0.05 \ m \ MgSO_4$
C
$1 \ m \ AlPO_4$
D
$0.05 \ m \ Al_2(SO_4)_3$

Solution

(C) The freezing point depression is given by the formula $\Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times m$,where $i$ is the van't Hoff factor and $m$ is the molality.
For $0.1 \ m \ NaCl$,$i = 2$,so $\Delta T_f = 2 \times 0.1 = 0.2$.
For $0.05 \ m \ MgSO_4$,$i = 2$,so $\Delta T_f = 2 \times 0.05 = 0.1$.
For $1 \ m \ AlPO_4$,$i = 2$,so $\Delta T_f = 2 \times 1 = 2.0$.
For $0.05 \ m \ Al_2(SO_4)_3$,$i = 5$,so $\Delta T_f = 5 \times 0.05 = 0.25$.
Comparing the values,$1 \ m \ AlPO_4$ has the highest value of $i \times m$,therefore it exhibits the highest freezing point depression.

$0.51 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$
B
$0.41 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$
C
$0.51 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$
D
$0.65 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$

Given: $\Delta T_f = T_f^{\circ} - T_f = 0^{\circ}C - (-0.95^{\circ}C) = 0.95 \ K$.
$K_f = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.95 = 1.86 \times m$.
$m = \frac{0.95}{1.86} \approx 0.51 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.

Find the expected value of $\Delta T_{b}$ for $1 \ m \ AlCl_3$ solution in water if a solution of a nonelectrolyte of the same concentration has a $\Delta T_{b}$ value of '$x$' $K$.
A
$x \ K$
B
$2 x \ K$
C
$3 x \ K$
D
$4 x \ K$

Solution

(D) The elevation in boiling point is given by the formula $\Delta T_{b} = i \times K_{b} \times m$.
For a nonelectrolyte,the van't Hoff factor $i = 1$. Thus,for the nonelectrolyte solution,$\Delta T_{b} = 1 \times K_{b} \times m = x \ K$.
For $AlCl_3$,the dissociation is $AlCl_3 \rightarrow Al^{3+} + 3Cl^-$.
The van't Hoff factor $i$ for $AlCl_3$ is $1 + 3 = 4$.
Therefore,for $1 \ m \ AlCl_3$ solution,$\Delta T_{b} = 4 \times K_{b} \times m = 4 \times (K_{b} \times m) = 4x \ K$.

Given: $\Delta T_{b} = 0.2 \ K$ and $K_{b} = 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Rearranging the formula to solve for molality $(m)$: $m = \frac{\Delta T_{b}}{K_{b}}$.
Substituting the values: $m = \frac{0.2}{0.52} \approx 0.3846 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Rounding to three decimal places,we get $m \approx 0.385 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.

Given values: $\pi = 1.5 \ atm$,$C = 0.05 \ M$,$R = 0.0821 \ dm^3 \ atm \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$.
Rearranging the formula to solve for $T$: $T = \frac{\pi}{CR}$.
Substituting the values: $T = \frac{1.5}{0.05 \times 0.0821} = \frac{1.5}{0.004105} \approx 365.4 \ K$.

$0.05 \, m \, MgSO_4$
C
$0.08 \, m \, AlPO_4$
D
$0.06 \, m \, Al_2(SO_4)_3$

Solution

(B) The freezing point depression is given by the formula $\Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times m$, where $i$ is the van't Hoff factor and $m$ is the molality. Assuming complete dissociation, $i$ equals the number of ions produced per formula unit.
For $A$: $0.1 \, m \, NaClO_4 \rightarrow i = 2$, so $\Delta T_f \propto 0.1 \times 2 = 0.2$.
For $B$: $0.05 \, m \, MgSO_4 \rightarrow i = 2$, so $\Delta T_f \propto 0.05 \times 2 = 0.1$.
For $C$: $0.08 \, m \, AlPO_4 \rightarrow i = 2$, so $\Delta T_f \propto 0.08 \times 2 = 0.16$.
For $D$: $0.06 \, m \, Al_2(SO_4)_3 \rightarrow i = 5$, so $\Delta T_f \propto 0.06 \times 5 = 0.3$.

B
$0.0017$
C
$0.0120$
D
$0.0221$

Solution

(B) The relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by Raoult's Law as: $\frac{P^o - P_s}{P^o} = \chi_{solute} = \frac{n_2}{n_1 + n_2}$.
Given: Mass of solute $(w_2)$ $= 0.56 \ g$,Molar mass of solute $(M_2)$ $= 60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,Mass of solvent $(w_1)$ $= 100 \ g$,Molar mass of water $(M_1)$ $= 18 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Moles of solute $(n_2)$ $= \frac{0.56}{60} \approx 0.00933 \ mol$.
Moles of solvent $(n_1)$ $= \frac{100}{18} \approx 5.556 \ mol$.
Since $n_2$ is very small compared to $n_1$,we can approximate $\frac{n_2}{n_1 + n_2} \approx \frac{n_2}{n_1}$.
Relative lowering of vapour pressure $= \frac{0.00933}{5.556} \approx 0.00168 \approx 0.0017$.

$C. 0.1 \ m \ BaCl_2$
$D. 0.5 \ m \ Al_2(SO_4)_3$
A
$D > B > A > C$
B
$C > D > A > B$
C
$A > C > D > B$
D
$B > C > A > D$

Solution

(A) Osmotic pressure $(\pi)$ is given by the formula $\pi = iCRT$,where $i$ is the van't Hoff factor,$C$ is the molar concentration,$R$ is the gas constant,and $T$ is the temperature.
Since $R$ and $T$ are constant,$\pi \propto i \times C$.
For complete dissociation:
$A. 0.2 \ m \ KCl: i = 2, C = 0.2, \pi \propto 2 \times 0.2 = 0.4$
$B. 0.3 \ m \ MgSO_4: i = 2, C = 0.3, \pi \propto 2 \times 0.3 = 0.6$
$C. 0.1 \ m \ BaCl_2: i = 3, C = 0.1, \pi \propto 3 \times 0.1 = 0.3$
$D. 0.5 \ m \ Al_2(SO_4)_3: i = 5, C = 0.5, \pi \propto 5 \times 0.5 = 2.5$
Comparing the values: $2.5 (D) > 0.6 (B) > 0.4 (A) > 0.3 (C)$.
Thus,the decreasing order is $D > B > A > C$.

Calculate the boiling point elevation of a solution if $15 \ g$ of urea is dissolved in $1000 \ g$ of water. $\left[K_{b} \text{ for water} = 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}; \text{ molar mass of urea} = 60 \ g \ mol^{-1}\right]$ (in $K$)
A
$0.13$
B
$0.24$
C
$0.38$
D
$0.54$

Solution

(A) The formula for boiling point elevation is $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $(m)$ = $\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}$.
Moles of urea = $\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{15 \ g}{60 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.25 \ mol$.

A
$0.014$
B

A
$0.2 \ m \ KCl$
B
$0.1 \ m \ NaCl$
C
$1 \ m \ AlCl_3$
D

For complete dissociation,$i$ equals the number of ions produced per formula unit.
$A$: $KCl \rightarrow K^+ + Cl^-$,$i = 2$. $\Delta T_b \propto 2 \times 0.2 = 0.4$.
$B$: $NaCl \rightarrow Na^+ + Cl^-$,$i = 2$. $\Delta T_b \propto 2 \times 0.1 = 0.2$.

A
$x \ K$
B
$2x \ K$
C
$3x \ K$
D

Solution

(C) The depression in freezing point is given by the formula $\Delta T_{f} = i \times K_{f} \times m$.
For a $1 \ m$ urea solution,urea is a non-electrolyte,so the van't Hoff factor $i = 1$. Thus,$\Delta T_{f} = 1 \times K_{f} \times 1 = K_{f} = x \ K$.
For a $1 \ m$ $CaCl_{2}$ solution,$CaCl_{2}$ dissociates as $CaCl_{2} \rightarrow Ca^{2+} + 2Cl^{-}$,so the van't Hoff factor $i = 3$.
Thus,$\Delta T_{f} = 3 \times K_{f} \times 1 = 3 \times x \ K = 3x \ K$.

Solution

(A) Osmotic pressure $(\pi)$ is given by the formula $\pi = CRT = \frac{n}{V}RT = \frac{w}{M \times V}RT$.
For the same temperature and volume,$\pi$ is proportional to $\frac{w}{M}$.
For urea $(M = 60 \ g \ mol^{-1})$:
$A: \frac{3}{60} = 0.05 \ mol \ L^{-1}$
$B: \frac{6}{60} = 0.1 \ mol \ L^{-1}$
For sucrose $(M = 342 \ g \ mol^{-1})$:
$17.1 \ g \ L^{-1}: \frac{17.1}{342} = 0.05 \ mol \ L^{-1}$
$34.2 \ g \ L^{-1}: \frac{34.2}{342} = 0.1 \ mol \ L^{-1}$
Comparing the values,$3 \ g \ L^{-1}$ urea $(0.05 \ mol \ L^{-1})$ and $17.1 \ g \ L^{-1}$ sucrose $(0.05 \ mol \ L^{-1})$ have the same molar concentration,hence the same osmotic pressure.

Solution

(C) Osmotic pressure $(\pi)$ is a colligative property given by the formula $\pi = iCRT$,where $i$ is the van't Hoff factor,$C$ is the molar concentration,$R$ is the gas constant,and $T$ is the temperature.
Since the solutions are equimolar ($C$ is constant) and at the same temperature,$\pi$ is directly proportional to the van't Hoff factor $(i)$.

(C) The formula for osmotic pressure $(\Pi)$ is given by $\Pi = CRT$,where $C$ is the molar concentration,$R$ is the gas constant,and $T$ is the temperature.
Since $R$ and $T$ are constant,$\Pi \propto C$.
For $0.5 \ M$ urea solution,$\Pi_1 = 0.5RT = x$.
For $1 \ M$ urea solution,$\Pi_2 = 1RT$.

Solution

(B) The extent of adsorption of a gas on a solid adsorbent depends on the ease of liquefaction of the gas.
Easily liquefiable gases have higher critical temperatures $(T_c)$ and stronger van der Waals forces of attraction,leading to greater adsorption.
The critical temperatures $(T_c)$ of the given gases are:
$SO_2$ $(430 \ K)$ > $O_2$ $(154 \ K)$ > $N_2$ $(126 \ K)$ > $H_2$ $(33 \ K)$.
Since $SO_2$ has the highest critical temperature,it is the most easily liquefiable and thus adsorbed to the greatest extent.

Solution

(A) The graph shows the variation of the extent of adsorption $(x/m)$ with pressure $(p)$ at different temperatures.
Physical adsorption is an exothermic process.
According to Le Chatelier's principle,for an exothermic process,the extent of adsorption decreases with an increase in temperature.
Therefore,the highest amount of gas is adsorbed at the lowest temperature.
From the given graph,the lowest temperature is $195 \ K$.
