MediumMCQ
The $pH$ of a $0.1 \ M$ monobasic acid solution is $2$. Its osmotic pressure at $T$ Kelvin temperature is ............. $RT$.
A
$0.1$
B
$0.11$
C
$1.1$
D
$0.01$

Solution

(B) Given $pH = 2$.
We know that $pH = -\log [H^+]$,so $[H^+] = 10^{-pH} = 10^{-2} = 0.01 \ M$.
For a monobasic acid $HX$,the dissociation is $HX \rightleftharpoons H^+ + X^-$.
The degree of dissociation $\alpha$ is given by $[H^+] = c \alpha$,where $c = 0.1 \ M$.
$\alpha = \frac{[H^+]}{c} = \frac{0.01}{0.1} = 0.1$.
The van't Hoff factor $i$ for a binary electrolyte is $i = 1 + \alpha = 1 + 0.1 = 1.1$.
The osmotic pressure $\Pi$ is given by $\Pi = iCRT$.
Substituting the values: $\Pi = 1.1 \times 0.1 \times RT = 0.11 \ RT$.
Thus,the correct option is $B$.

An aqueous solution freezes at $-0.186 \ ^\circ C$ ($K_f = 1.86 \ ^\circ C \ kg \ mol^{-1}$; $K_b = 0.512 \ ^\circ C \ kg \ mol^{-1}$). What is the elevation in boiling point of the same solution?
A
$0.18$
B
$0.51$
C
$0.0512$
D
$0.05$

Solution

(C) The depression in freezing point is given by $\Delta T_f = T_f^\circ - T_f = 0 - (-0.186) = 0.186 \ ^\circ C$.
We know that $\Delta T_f = K_f \times m$ and $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$.
Dividing the two equations: $\frac{\Delta T_b}{\Delta T_f} = \frac{K_b}{K_f}$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta T_b = \Delta T_f \times \frac{K_b}{K_f} = 0.186 \times \frac{0.512}{1.86}$.
$\Delta T_b = 0.1 \times 0.512 = 0.0512 \ ^\circ C$.

DifficultMCQ
The $pH$ of a $0.1 \, M$ monobasic acid is measured to be $2$. Its osmotic pressure at a given temperature $T \, K$ is (in $, RT$)
A
$0.1$
B
$0.11$
C
$1.1$
D
$0.01$

Solution

(B) The osmotic pressure is given by the formula $\pi = iCRT$.
Given $pH = 2$,the concentration of hydrogen ions is $[H^{+}] = 10^{-2} \, M$.
For a monobasic acid $HA \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + A^{-}$,the degree of dissociation $\alpha$ is calculated as $\alpha = \frac{[H^{+}]}{C} = \frac{10^{-2}}{0.1} = 0.1$.
The van't Hoff factor $i$ for dissociation is $i = 1 + \alpha(n - 1)$,where $n = 2$.
Thus,$i = 1 + 0.1(2 - 1) = 1.1$.
Substituting the values into the osmotic pressure formula: $\pi = 1.1 \times 0.1 \times RT = 0.11 \, RT$.

EasyMCQ
When $0.1 \, m$ $CH_3COOH$ is present in a solvent,it shows an elevation in boiling point of $0.75 \, ^oC$. The acid dissociation constant $(K_a)$ will be: (Given: $K_b = 5 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$)
A
$5 \times 10^{-2}$
B
$5 \times 10^{-3}$
C
$10^{-2}$
D
$10^{-3}$

Solution

(A) The elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_b = i K_b m$.
Given $\Delta T_b = 0.75 \, ^oC$,$K_b = 5 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$,and $m = 0.1 \, m$.
Substituting these values: $0.75 = i \times 5 \times 0.1$.
$i = \frac{0.75}{0.5} = 1.5$.
For the dissociation of $CH_3COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^- + H^+$,the van't Hoff factor $i = 1 + \alpha$.
$1.5 = 1 + \alpha \implies \alpha = 0.5$.
The dissociation constant $K_a$ is given by $K_a = \frac{c \alpha^2}{1 - \alpha}$.
$K_a = \frac{0.1 \times (0.5)^2}{1 - 0.5} = \frac{0.1 \times 0.25}{0.5} = 0.05 = 5 \times 10^{-2}$.

EasyMCQ
Drinking water contains some salt impurities dissolved in it. When this solution is heated in an open container,vapours are formed and separated slowly. In this process,the freezing point and osmotic pressure of the remaining solution will continuously
A
Increase,Decrease
B
Increase,Increase
C
Decrease,Decrease
D
Decrease,Increase

Solution

(D) As vapours are removed,the remaining solution becomes more concentrated.
The freezing point depression is defined as $\Delta T_f = K_f \times m$. As the molality $m$ increases,$\Delta T_f$ increases,which means the freezing point $(T_f = T_f^0 - \Delta T_f)$ decreases.
Osmotic pressure is given by $\Pi = CRT$. As the concentration $C$ increases,the osmotic pressure $\Pi$ increases.
Therefore,the freezing point decreases and the osmotic pressure increases.

EasyMCQ
$A$ saturated solution of $Ag_2SO_4$ shows a $0.003 \ K$ rise in boiling point. Calculate the $K_{sp}$ of $Ag_2SO_4$. Given: $K_b = 5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$ and $1 \ m = 1 \ M$.
A
$3.2 \times 10^{-11}$
B
$3.2 \times 10^{-10}$
C
$3.2 \times 10^{-9}$
D
$3.2 \times 10^{-12}$

Solution

(A) The elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_b = i K_b m$.
For $Ag_2SO_4$,the dissociation is $Ag_2SO_4 \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^+ + SO_4^{2-}$,so the van't Hoff factor $i = 3$.
Given $\Delta T_b = 0.003 \ K$,$K_b = 5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,and $m = S$ (solubility).
Substituting the values: $0.003 = 3 \times 5 \times S$.
$S = \frac{0.003}{15} = 2 \times 10^{-4} \ mol \ L^{-1}$.
The solubility product $K_{sp}$ for $Ag_2SO_4$ is $K_{sp} = [Ag^+]^2 [SO_4^{2-}] = (2S)^2 (S) = 4S^3$.
$K_{sp} = 4 \times (2 \times 10^{-4})^3 = 4 \times 8 \times 10^{-12} = 3.2 \times 10^{-11}$.

MediumMCQ
If a $1 \ m$ solution of benzoic acid in benzene has a freezing point depression of $2.56 \ ^{\circ}C$ $(K_f = 5.12 \ ^{\circ}C \ kg \ mol^{-1})$ and a boiling point elevation of $2.53 \ ^{\circ}C$ $(K_b = 2.53 \ ^{\circ}C \ kg \ mol^{-1})$,select the correct statement$(s)$:
Statement $I$: There is dimer formation when undergoing freezing.
Statement $II$: There is no change when undergoing boiling.
Statement $III$: Reverse of $I$ and $II$.
Statement $IV$: Dimer formation in freezing and boiling state.
A
$I, II$
B
$II, III$
C
$III, I$
D
only $I$

Solution

(A) For freezing point: Theoretical $\Delta T_f = K_f \times m = 5.12 \times 1 = 5.12 \ ^{\circ}C$.
Observed $\Delta T_f = 2.56 \ ^{\circ}C$.
Since observed $\Delta T_f < $ theoretical $\Delta T_f$,the van't Hoff factor $i = \frac{2.56}{5.12} = 0.5$,which indicates dimer formation.
For boiling point: Theoretical $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m = 2.53 \times 1 = 2.53 \ ^{\circ}C$.
Observed $\Delta T_b = 2.53 \ ^{\circ}C$.
Since observed $\Delta T_b =$ theoretical $\Delta T_b$,$i = 1$,indicating no association or dissociation.
Thus,Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are correct.

MediumMCQ
Which of the following graphs correctly represents the changes in thermodynamic properties during the formation of $1 \, mol$ of an ideal binary solution?
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(C) For the formation of an ideal binary solution:
$1$. The enthalpy of mixing is zero,i.e.,$\Delta H_{mix} = 0$.
$2$. The entropy of mixing is positive,i.e.,$\Delta S_{mix} > 0$,so $T \Delta S_{mix} > 0$.
$3$. The Gibbs free energy of mixing is given by $\Delta G_{mix} = \Delta H_{mix} - T \Delta S_{mix}$. Since $\Delta H_{mix} = 0$,we have $\Delta G_{mix} = -T \Delta S_{mix}$. Because $\Delta S_{mix} > 0$,$\Delta G_{mix}$ must be negative $(\Delta G_{mix} < 0)$.
Comparing these conditions with the given options:
- $\Delta H_{mix}$ should be a straight line at $0$.
- $T \Delta S_{mix}$ should be a positive curve (above the $0$ axis).
- $\Delta G_{mix}$ should be a negative curve (below the $0$ axis).
Option $C$ correctly shows $\Delta H_{mix} = 0$,$T \Delta S_{mix} > 0$,and $\Delta G_{mix} < 0$.

MediumMCQ
$P_A = (235y - 125xy) \, \text{mm of Hg}$. $P_A$ is the partial pressure of $A$,$x$ is the mole fraction of $B$ in the liquid phase in the mixture of two liquids $A$ and $B$,and $y$ is the mole fraction of $A$ in the vapour phase. Then $P^o_B$ in $\text{mm of Hg}$ is:
A
$235$
B
$0$
C
$110$
D
$125$

Solution

(C) According to Raoult's law,the partial pressure of $A$ is given by $P_A = P^o_A \cdot x_A$,where $x_A$ is the mole fraction of $A$ in the liquid phase.
Since $x$ is the mole fraction of $B$ in the liquid phase,$x_A = 1 - x$.
Thus,$P_A = P^o_A(1 - x) = P^o_A - P^o_A \cdot x$.
Also,from Dalton's law,$P_A = y \cdot P_{total}$,where $y$ is the mole fraction of $A$ in the vapour phase.
Given the equation $P_A = 235y - 125xy$,we can rewrite this as $P_A = y(235 - 125x)$.
Comparing the expressions,we note that for a binary mixture,$P_{total} = P^o_A x_A + P^o_B x_B = P^o_A(1-x) + P^o_B x = P^o_A + (P^o_B - P^o_A)x$.
Substituting this into $P_A = y \cdot P_{total}$,we get $P^o_A(1-x) = y(P^o_A + (P^o_B - P^o_A)x)$.
Rearranging to match the form $P_A = 235y - 125xy$,we identify $P^o_A = 235$ and $P^o_A - P^o_B = 125$.
Therefore,$P^o_B = P^o_A - 125 = 235 - 125 = 110 \, \text{mm of Hg}$.

MediumMCQ
An aqueous solution of a solute $AB$ has a $b.p.$ of $101.08^\circ C$ ($AB$ is $100\%$ ionized at the boiling point of the solution) and freezes at $-1.80^\circ C$. Given $K_b / K_f = 0.3$,the solute $AB$:
A
is $100\%$ ionized at the $f.p.$ of the solution
B
behaves as a non-electrolyte at the $f.p.$ of the solution
C
forms a dimer
D
none of these

Solution

(B) For boiling point elevation: $\Delta T_b = i_b \times m \times K_b$
$101.08 - 100 = 2 \times m \times K_b$ (Since $AB$ is $100\%$ ionized at $b.p.$,$i_b = 2$)
$1.08 = 2 \times m \times K_b \implies m \times K_b = 0.54$
For freezing point depression: $\Delta T_f = i_f \times m \times K_f$
$0 - (-1.80) = i_f \times m \times (K_b / 0.3)$ (Given $K_b / K_f = 0.3 \implies K_f = K_b / 0.3$)
$1.80 = i_f \times (0.54 / 0.3)$
$1.80 = i_f \times 1.8 \implies i_f = 1$
Since $i_f = 1$,$AB$ behaves as a non-electrolyte at the freezing point.

MediumMCQ
If the freezing point of an aqueous solution of salt $MX_4$ $(\alpha = 90\%)$ is $-3\ ^oC$,then its boiling point will be ........ $^oC$. (Assume it is $100\%$ ionized at the boiling temperature and $k_f = 1.86\ K\ kg\ mol^{-1}$,$k_b = 0.52\ K\ kg\ mol^{-1}$)
A
$100.9$
B
$101.3$
C
$102.3$
D
$103.3$

Solution

(A) For salt $MX_4$,the dissociation is $MX_4 \rightarrow M^{4+} + 4X^-$. The number of ions $n = 5$.
Van't Hoff factor $i = 1 + (n-1)\alpha = 1 + (5-1)(0.9) = 1 + 3.6 = 4.6$.
Freezing point depression $\Delta T_f = T_f^0 - T_f = 0 - (-3) = 3\ ^oC$.
Using $\Delta T_f = i \cdot k_f \cdot m$,we get $3 = 4.6 \cdot 1.86 \cdot m$,so $m = 3 / (4.6 \cdot 1.86) \approx 0.3506\ mol\ kg^{-1}$.
At boiling point,the salt is $100\%$ ionized,so $i' = n = 5$.
Boiling point elevation $\Delta T_b = i' \cdot k_b \cdot m = 5 \cdot 0.52 \cdot 0.3506 \approx 0.911\ ^oC$.
Boiling point of solution $= 100 + 0.911 = 100.911\ ^oC \approx 100.9\ ^oC$.

MediumMCQ
The ionization constant of a monobasic acid $HA$ is to be determined. If a $0.025 \ m$ aqueous solution of the acid freezes at $-0.060 \ ^{\circ}C$,calculate the ionization constant $K_a$. (Assume molality = molarity and $K_f(H_2O) = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$).
A
$3 \times 10^{-3}$
B
$4 \times 10^{-2}$
C
$6 \times 10^{-4}$
D
$5 \times 10^{-5}$

Solution

(A) Given: $m = 0.025 \ m$,$\Delta T_f = 0 - (-0.060) = 0.060 \ K$,$K_f = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Using the formula $\Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times m$:
$0.060 = i \times 1.86 \times 0.025$
$i = \frac{0.060}{0.0465} \approx 1.29$.
For a monobasic acid $HA \rightleftharpoons H^+ + A^-$,the van't Hoff factor $i = 1 + \alpha$,where $\alpha$ is the degree of dissociation.
$1 + \alpha = 1.29 \implies \alpha = 0.29$.
The ionization constant $K_a = \frac{c \alpha^2}{1 - \alpha} = \frac{0.025 \times (0.29)^2}{1 - 0.29} = \frac{0.025 \times 0.0841}{0.71} \approx 0.00296 \approx 3 \times 10^{-3}$.

DifficultMCQ
Select the correct statement.
A
Acidic strength of $HBr > HCl$,but the reverse is true for their reducing property.
B
Basic strength of $PH_3 > AsH_3$,but the reverse is true for their bond angle.
C
Dipole moment of $CH_3Cl > CH_3F$,but the reverse is true for their $H-C-H$ bond angle.
D
$Ka_1$ of fumaric acid is higher than maleic acid,but the reverse is true for their $Ka_2$.

Solution

(C) Let us analyze each option:
$A$: Acidic strength depends on bond dissociation energy. $HCl$ has a stronger bond than $HBr$,so $HBr$ is more acidic. Reducing property also follows the order $HI > HBr > HCl > HF$. Thus,both properties follow the same order. This is incorrect.
$B$: Basic strength depends on the availability of the lone pair. As we go down the group,the lone pair is in a larger orbital,making it less available. Thus,$PH_3 > AsH_3$. Bond angle also follows the same order due to the decrease in electronegativity of the central atom. This is incorrect.
$C$: The dipole moment of $CH_3Cl$ $(1.86 \ D)$ is greater than $CH_3F$ $(1.85 \ D)$ due to the larger bond length in $C-Cl$. The $H-C-H$ bond angle in $CH_3F$ is larger than in $CH_3Cl$ due to the higher electronegativity of $F$ causing more $s$-character in $C-H$ bonds. This is correct.
$D$: Maleic acid (cis-isomer) has a higher $Ka_1$ due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the mono-anion,but its $Ka_2$ is lower than fumaric acid due to strong electrostatic repulsion between the two carboxylate groups. This is correct.
Note: Both $C$ and $D$ are scientifically correct statements.

The values of $K_b$ and $K_f$ for water are $0.52 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$ and $1.86 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$ respectively. If the solution boils at $0.78 \, K$ above the boiling point of water,then the freezing point of the solution will be ........ $K$.
A
$272.22$
B
$271.14$
C
$271.86$
D
$270.21$

Solution

(D) Given: $\Delta T_b = 0.78 \, K$,$K_b = 0.52 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$,$K_f = 1.86 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$.
We know that $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$ and $\Delta T_f = K_f \times m$.
Dividing the two equations: $\frac{\Delta T_f}{\Delta T_b} = \frac{K_f}{K_b}$.
$\Delta T_f = \Delta T_b \times \frac{K_f}{K_b} = 0.78 \times \frac{1.86}{0.52} = 0.78 \times 3.5769 \approx 2.79 \, K$.
The freezing point of pure water is $273.15 \, K$.
The freezing point of the solution = $T_f^0 - \Delta T_f = 273.15 - 2.79 = 270.36 \, K$.
Rounding to the nearest provided option,the correct value is $270.21 \, K$.

Calculate the osmotic pressure in $atm$ of an aqueous solution of urea at $37\,^oC$,which has a freezing point of $0.52\,^oC$. Assume molality and molarity are numerically equal. $(K_f = 1.86\,^oC\, m^{-1})$
A
$720.5$
B
$7.1$
C
$71.1$
D
$0.85$

Solution

(B) Step $1$: Calculate the molality $(m)$ of the solution using the freezing point depression formula: $\Delta T_f = K_f \times m$. Given $\Delta T_f = 0.52\,^oC$ and $K_f = 1.86\,^oC\, m^{-1}$,we have $0.52 = 1.86 \times m$,so $m = \frac{0.52}{1.86} \approx 0.2796 \, m$.
Step $2$: Since molality and molarity are assumed to be numerically equal,$M \approx 0.2796 \, M$.
Step $3$: Calculate the osmotic pressure $(\pi)$ using the formula $\pi = MRT$,where $R = 0.0821 \, L \, atm \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$ and $T = 37 + 273 = 310 \, K$.
Step $4$: $\pi = 0.2796 \times 0.0821 \times 310 \approx 7.11 \, atm$.

MediumMCQ
The difference between the boiling point and freezing point of an aqueous solution of urea containing $10.0 \ kg$ of water is $100.2372 \ ^oC$. How many grams of urea are dissolved in the solution? (Given: $K_b = 0.513 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,$K_f = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$)
A
$59.64$
B
$38.95$
C
$51.65$
D
$40.5$

Solution

(A) Let the mass of urea be $w \ g$. The molar mass of urea $(NH_2CONH_2)$ is $60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Molality $(m) = \frac{w \times 1000}{60 \times 10000} = \frac{w}{600} \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Elevation in boiling point: $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m = 0.513 \times \frac{w}{600}$.
Depression in freezing point: $\Delta T_f = K_f \times m = 1.86 \times \frac{w}{600}$.
The boiling point of the solution is $T_b = 100 + \Delta T_b$ and the freezing point is $T_f = 0 - \Delta T_f$.
The difference is $(100 + \Delta T_b) - (0 - \Delta T_f) = 100 + \Delta T_b + \Delta T_f = 100.2372$.
Therefore,$\Delta T_b + \Delta T_f = 0.2372$.
$\frac{w}{600} \times (0.513 + 1.86) = 0.2372$.
$\frac{w}{600} \times 2.373 = 0.2372$.
$w = \frac{0.2372 \times 600}{2.373} \approx 60 \ g$.
Comparing with options,the closest value is $59.64 \ g$.

Solution

(C) Proof spirit is defined as a mixture of ethyl alcohol and water that contains $57.1\%$ of ethyl alcohol by volume.
This corresponds to approximately $49.28\%$ by mass.
Therefore,the correct composition is $57.1\% \text{ ethyl alcohol}$ and $42.9\% \text{ water}$.

An aqueous solution of $NaCl$ shows the depression of freezing point of water equal to $0.372 \, K$. The boiling point of $BaCl_2$ solution of same molality will be .........$^oC$. $[K_f(H_2O) = 1.86 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}; K_b(H_2O) = 0.52 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}]$
A
$100.52$
B
$100.104$
C
$101.56$
D
$100.156$

Solution

(D) For $NaCl$,the van't Hoff factor $i_1 = 2$. The depression in freezing point is given by $\Delta T_f = i_1 K_f m = 0.372 \, K$.
Thus,$m = \frac{0.372}{2 \times 1.86} = 0.1 \, mol \, kg^{-1}$.
For $BaCl_2$,the van't Hoff factor $i_2 = 3$.
The elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_b = i_2 K_b m = 3 \times 0.52 \times 0.1 = 0.156 \, K$.
The boiling point of the solution is $T_b = 100 + \Delta T_b = 100 + 0.156 = 100.156 \, ^oC$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ solution of urea (molar mass $60 \, g \, mol^{-1}$) boils at $100.18 \, ^oC$ at atmospheric pressure. If $K_f$ and $K_b$ for water are $1.86$ and $0.512 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$ respectively,the above solution will freeze at ........... $^oC$.
A
$0.65$
B
$-0.65$
C
$6.54$
D
$-6.54$

Solution

(B) Given: Boiling point of solution = $100.18 \, ^oC$. Boiling point of pure water = $100 \, ^oC$.
Elevation in boiling point,$\Delta T_b = 100.18 - 100 = 0.18 \, ^oC$.
We know that $\Delta T_b = K_b \cdot m$ and $\Delta T_f = K_f \cdot m$.
Therefore,$\frac{\Delta T_f}{\Delta T_b} = \frac{K_f}{K_b}$.
$\Delta T_f = \Delta T_b \times \frac{K_f}{K_b} = 0.18 \times \frac{1.86}{0.512} \approx 0.654 \, ^oC$.
Since $\Delta T_f = T_f^{\circ} - T_f$,where $T_f^{\circ} = 0 \, ^oC$ for water:
$0.654 = 0 - T_f$.
$T_f = -0.654 \, ^oC$.
Rounding to two decimal places,the freezing point is $-0.65 \, ^oC$.

Solution

(D) The depression in freezing point is given by $\Delta T_f = T_f^o - T_f = 0 - (-0.465) = 0.465 \ K$.
Using the formula for molar mass $M$ of the solute:
$M = \frac{1000 \times K_f \times w_2}{\Delta T_f \times w_1} = \frac{1000 \times 1.86 \times 1.8}{0.465 \times 40} = 180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
The empirical formula mass of $CH_2O$ is $12 + (2 \times 1) + 16 = 30 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Calculating the value of $n$:
$n = \frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical formula mass}} = \frac{180}{30} = 6$.
Therefore,the molecular formula is $(CH_2O)_6 = C_6H_{12}O_6$.

B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
D
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Solution

(B) Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
The relationship between lowering of vapour pressure and osmotic pressure can be derived as follows:
Van't Hoff equation for a dilute solution is $\pi = \frac{n}{V}RT$ ..... $(i)$
In the case of a dilute solution,the volume of the solution can be taken as equal to that of the solvent. If $N$ is the number of moles of solvent of molecular weight $M$ and density $\rho$,the volume $V$ is given by $V = \frac{NM}{\rho}$ ...... $(ii)$
Substituting $(ii)$ in $(i)$,we get $\frac{n}{N} = \frac{\pi M}{\rho RT}$ .... $(iii)$
From Raoult's law,the relative lowering of vapour pressure is $\frac{p^o - p}{p^o} = \frac{n}{N}$ ...... $(iv)$
Equating $(iii)$ and $(iv)$,we get $\frac{p^o - p}{p^o} = \frac{\pi M}{\rho RT}$
Rearranging,$(p^o - p) = \frac{\pi M p^o}{\rho RT}$
Since $\frac{M p^o}{\rho RT}$ is constant at a constant temperature,$(p^o - p) \propto \pi$.
Thus,the lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to the osmotic pressure. The assertion is correct.
Osmotic pressure is indeed a colligative property,so the reason is also correct. However,the fact that osmotic pressure is a colligative property does not explain why the lowering of vapour pressure is proportional to it.

Assertion : If one component of a solution obeys Raoult's law over a certain range of composition,the other component will not obey Henry's law in that range.
Reason : Raoult's law is a special case of Henry's law.
A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
D
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Solution

(D) According to the thermodynamic relationship between Raoult's law and Henry's law,if one component of a binary solution obeys Raoult's law $(P_i = x_i P_i^o)$ over the entire range of composition,the other component must also obey Raoult's law.
However,in dilute solutions,the solvent obeys Raoult's law $(P_1 = x_1 P_1^o)$ while the solute obeys Henry's law $(P_2 = K_H x_2)$.
The Assertion is incorrect because if one component obeys Raoult's law,the other component often obeys Henry's law in the dilute range.
The Reason is correct because Raoult's law is indeed a special case of Henry's law where the Henry's constant $(K_H)$ becomes equal to the pure component vapor pressure $(P_i^o)$.

At $35^{\circ} C$,the vapour pressure of $CS_{2}$ is $512 \; mm \; Hg$ and that of acetone is $344 \; mm \; Hg$. $A$ solution of $CS_{2}$ in acetone has a total vapour pressure of $600 \; mm \; Hg$. The false statement amongst the following is
A
heat must be absorbed in order to produce the solution at $35^{\circ} C$
B
Raoult's law is not obeyed by this system
C
a mixture of $100 \; mL \; CS_{2}$ and $100 \; mL$ acetone has a volume $< 200 \; mL$
D
$CS_{2}$ and acetone are less attracted to each other than to themselves

Solution

(C) The observed total vapour pressure $(600 \; mm \; Hg)$ is greater than the vapour pressure of either pure component ($512 \; mm \; Hg$ and $344 \; mm \; Hg$).
This indicates that the solution exhibits a positive deviation from Raoult's law.
For solutions showing positive deviation:
$1$. $\Delta_{sol} H > 0$ (Endothermic process,heat is absorbed).
$2$. $\Delta_{sol} V > 0$ (Volume increases,so the final volume is $> 200 \; mL$).
$3$. The solute-solvent interactions are weaker than the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions.
$4$. Raoult's law is not obeyed.
Therefore,the statement that the volume is $< 200 \; mL$ is false.

$\Delta T_{f} = K_{f} \times m = 2.0 \; K \; kg \; mol^{-1} \times 0.5 \; mol \; kg^{-1} = 1.0 \; K$.
Freezing point of solution $T = 273 - 1 = 272 \; K$.
$2$. Calculate the initial pressure of the gas:
Using $PV = nRT$,$P = \frac{nRT}{V} = \frac{0.1 \; mol \times 0.08 \; dm^{3} \; atm \; K^{-1} \; mol^{-1} \times 272 \; K}{1.0 \; dm^{3}} = 2.176 \; atm$.
$3$. After withdrawing the stoppers,the piston is frictionless and exposed to atmospheric pressure $(P_{ext} = 1 \; atm)$. The gas will expand until its internal pressure equals the external pressure.
Using Boyle's Law $(P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2})$:
$2.176 \; atm \times 1.0 \; L = 1.0 \; atm \times V_{2}$.
$V_{2} = 2.176 \; L \approx 2.18 \; L$.

When dissolved in $20 \ g$ of benzene $(C_{6}H_{6})$,$1 \ g$ of $AB_{2}$ lowers the freezing point by $2.3 \ K$ whereas $1.0 \ g$ of $AB_{4}$ lowers it by $1.3 \ K$. The molar depression constant for benzene is $5.1 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$. Calculate atomic masses of $A$ and $B$.

Solution

(N/A) We know that the formula for molar mass is $M_{2} = \frac{1000 \times w_{2} \times K_{f}}{\Delta T_{f} \times w_{1}}$.
For $AB_{2}$: $M_{AB_{2}} = \frac{1000 \times 1 \times 5.1}{2.3 \times 20} = 110.87 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
For $AB_{4}$: $M_{AB_{4}} = \frac{1000 \times 1 \times 5.1}{1.3 \times 20} = 196.15 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Let the atomic masses of $A$ and $B$ be $x$ and $y$ respectively.
Then,$x + 2y = 110.87$ $(i)$ and $x + 4y = 196.15$ $(ii)$.
Subtracting $(i)$ from $(ii)$,we get $2y = 85.28$,so $y = 42.64 \ u$.
Substituting $y$ in $(i)$,$x + 2(42.64) = 110.87$,so $x = 25.59 \ u$.
The atomic masses of $A$ and $B$ are $25.59 \ u$ and $42.64 \ u$ respectively.

Benzene and toluene form an ideal solution over the entire range of composition. The vapour pressure of pure benzene and toluene at $300 \, K$ are $50.71 \, mm \, Hg$ and $32.06 \, mm \, Hg$ respectively. Calculate the mole fraction of benzene in the vapour phase if $80 \, g$ of benzene is mixed with $100 \, g$ of toluene.

Solution

(0.6) Molar mass of benzene $(C_6H_6) = 78 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.
Molar mass of toluene $(C_6H_5CH_3) = 92 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.
Moles of benzene $(n_b) = \frac{80}{78} = 1.026 \, mol$.
Moles of toluene $(n_t) = \frac{100}{92} = 1.087 \, mol$.
Mole fraction of benzene $(x_b) = \frac{1.026}{1.026 + 1.087} = 0.486$.
Mole fraction of toluene $(x_t) = 1 - 0.486 = 0.514$.
Partial pressure of benzene $(p_b) = x_b \times p_b^o = 0.486 \times 50.71 = 24.645 \, mm \, Hg$.
Partial pressure of toluene $(p_t) = x_t \times p_t^o = 0.514 \times 32.06 = 16.479 \, mm \, Hg$.
Mole fraction of benzene in vapour phase $(y_b) = \frac{p_b}{p_b + p_t} = \frac{24.645}{24.645 + 16.479} = \frac{24.645}{41.124} = 0.599 \approx 0.6$.

Solution

(B) Osmotic pressure $\pi = i \times C \times RT$
For $NaCl$,$i = 2$. Given $\pi_{NaCl} = 0.10 \ atm = 2 \times C_{NaCl} \times RT$. Thus,$C_{NaCl} \times RT = 0.05 \ atm$.
For glucose,$i = 1$. Given $\pi_{glucose} = 0.20 \ atm = 1 \times C_{glucose} \times RT$. Thus,$C_{glucose} \times RT = 0.20 \ atm$.
Number of moles of $NaCl$ in $1 \ L$ is $n_{NaCl} = C_{NaCl} \times 1 = \frac{0.05}{RT}$.
Number of moles of glucose in $2 \ L$ is $n_{glucose} = C_{glucose} \times 2 = \frac{0.20 \times 2}{RT} = \frac{0.40}{RT}$.
Total volume $V_{total} = 1 \ L + 2 \ L = 3 \ L$.
Total osmotic pressure $\pi_{total} = \frac{(n_{NaCl} \times i_{NaCl} + n_{glucose} \times i_{glucose}) \times RT}{V_{total}}$.
$\pi_{total} = \frac{(\frac{0.05}{RT} \times 2 + \frac{0.40}{RT} \times 1) \times RT}{3} = \frac{0.10 + 0.40}{3} = \frac{0.50}{3} \ atm$.
$\pi_{total} = 0.1666... \ atm = 166.6... \times 10^{-3} \ atm$.

(B) The dissociation of $K_{4}[Fe(CN)_{6}]$ is given by: $K_{4}[Fe(CN)_{6}] \rightleftharpoons 4K^{+} + [Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-}$.
Initial concentration: $1 \, m$,$0$,$0$.
Final concentration: $(1 - 0.4) \, m$,$4 \times 0.4 \, m$,$0.4 \, m$.
Total effective molality $= 0.6 + 1.6 + 0.4 = 2.6 \, m$.
Since the boiling point is the same,the molality of the non-electrolytic solution must also be $2.6 \, m$.
For $18.1 \%$ by weight solution,$18.1 \, g$ of solute $A$ is present in $81.9 \, g$ of water.
Using the formula for molality: $m = \frac{w_A \times 1000}{M_A \times w_{solvent}}$.
$2.6 = \frac{18.1 \times 1000}{M_A \times 81.9}$.
$M_A = \frac{18100}{2.6 \times 81.9} \approx 85 \, u$.

Solution

(B) For acetone as solvent:
$\Delta T_{b} = i \times K_{b} \times m$
$0.17 = 1 \times 1.7 \times \frac{1.22 / M_{w}}{100 / 1000} \dots (1)$
For benzene as solvent (dimerization,$i = 0.5$):
$\Delta T_{b} = 0.5 \times 2.6 \times \frac{1.22 / M_{w}}{100 / 1000} \dots (2)$
Dividing $(2)$ by $(1)$:
$\frac{\Delta T_{b}}{0.17} = \frac{0.5 \times 2.6}{1.7} = \frac{1.3}{1.7}$
$\Delta T_{b} = \frac{1.3 \times 0.17}{1.7} = 0.13 \, ^{\circ}C$
Given $\Delta T_{b} = x \times 10^{-2} \, ^{\circ}C$,we have $0.13 = x \times 10^{-2}$,so $x = 13$.

Solution

(D) For glucose,the van't Hoff factor $i = 1$.
The elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \cdot m_{1} = 4 \, K$,where $m_{1} = 1.5 \, m$.
So,$K_{b} \cdot 1.5 = 4 \implies K_{b} = \frac{4}{1.5}$.
The depression in freezing point is given by $\Delta T_{f} = K_{f} \cdot m_{2} = 4 \, K$,where $m_{2} = 4.5 \, m$.
So,$K_{f} \cdot 4.5 = 4 \implies K_{f} = \frac{4}{4.5}$.
The ratio $\frac{K_{b}}{K_{f}} = \frac{4 / 1.5}{4 / 4.5} = \frac{4.5}{1.5} = 3$.

Solution

(B) For elevation in boiling point: $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m_{1} = 3 \ K$ where $m_{1} = 1 \ m$. So,$K_{b} = 3 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
For depression in freezing point: $\Delta T_{f} = K_{f} \times m_{2} = 6 \ K$ where $m_{2} = 2 \ m$. So,$K_{f} = 6 / 2 = 3 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
The ratio $K_{b} / K_{f} = 3 / 3 = 1 / 1$.
Comparing this with $1 : X$,we get $X = 1$.

$A$ concentrated solution of copper sulphate,which is dark blue in colour,is mixed at room temperature with a dilute solution of copper sulphate,which is light blue. For this process:
A
entropy change is positive,but enthalpy change is negative
B
entropy and enthalpy changes are both positive
C
entropy change is positive and enthalpy does not change
D
entropy change is negative and enthalpy change is positive

Solution

(C) The correct option is $(C)$.
When a concentrated solution of $CuSO_4$ is mixed with a dilute solution of $CuSO_4$,the process is essentially a dilution process.
During dilution,the randomness of the solute particles increases as they spread out in a larger volume,which leads to an increase in entropy $(\Delta S > 0)$.
Since the mixing of two solutions of the same solute at the same temperature involves negligible heat change (ideal mixing approximation),the enthalpy change $(\Delta H)$ is approximately zero.

(A) Given,specific heat of substance $= 0.86 \,J \,g^{-1} \,K^{-1}$.
$1 \,molal$ solution means $1 \,mole$ of solute in $1000 \,g$ of solvent (water).
Mass of solute $= 1 \,mole \times 58 \,g \,mol^{-1} = 58 \,g$.
Total mass of solution $= 1000 \,g + 58 \,g = 1058 \,g$.
In $1058 \,g$ solution,mass of solute $= 58 \,g$ and mass of water $= 1000 \,g$.
For $10 \,g$ of solution:
Mass of solute $= (58 / 1058) \times 10 \approx 0.548 \,g$.
Mass of water $= (1000 / 1058) \times 10 \approx 9.452 \,g$.
Energy required $q = (m_{solute} \times c_{solute} \times \Delta T) + (m_{water} \times c_{water} \times \Delta T)$.
$q = (0.548 \times 0.86 \times 10) + (9.452 \times 4.2 \times 10)$.

Total moles of solute particles = $(0.1-x) + (0.2-2x) + 0.2 = 0.5-3x$.
$\Delta T_f = K_f \times m = 1.8 \times (0.5-3x) = 0.8$.
$0.9 - 5.4x = 0.8$ $\Rightarrow 5.4x = 0.1$ $\Rightarrow x = 0.1/5.4 = 1/54$.

Evaluate the following statements for their correctness.
$(A)$ The elevation in boiling point temperature of water will be same for $0.1 \ M \ NaCl$ and $0.1 \ M$ urea.
$(B)$ Azeotropic mixtures boil without change in their composition.
$(C)$ Osmosis always takes place from hypertonic to hypotonic solution.
$(D)$ The density of $32 \% \ H_2SO_4$ solution having molarity $4.09 \ M$ is approximately $1.26 \ g \ mL^{-1}$.
$(E)$ $A$ negatively charged sol is obtained when $KI$ solution is added to silver nitrate solution.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
$B, D$ and $E$ only
B
$A, B$ and $D$ only
C
$A$ and $C$ only
D
$B$ and $D$ only

Solution

(D) Incorrect. $\Delta T_b = i \times K_b \times m$. For $NaCl$,$i=2$,and for urea,$i=1$. Thus,elevation is not the same.
$(B)$ Correct. Azeotropic mixtures boil at a constant temperature and have the same composition in both liquid and vapour phases.
$(C)$ Incorrect. Osmosis always takes place from a hypotonic solution (lower concentration) to a hypertonic solution (higher concentration) through a semi-permeable membrane.
$(D)$ Correct. Molarity $M = \frac{\% \times 10 \times d}{M_{solute}} = \frac{32 \times 10 \times 1.26}{98} \approx 4.11 \ M$,which is approximately $4.09 \ M$.
$(E)$ Incorrect. When $KI$ is added to $AgNO_3$ (excess $AgNO_3$),$AgI$ adsorbs $Ag^+$ ions to form a positively charged sol $(AgI/Ag^+)$.
Therefore,only statements $(B)$ and $(D)$ are correct.

$25 \ mL$ of an aqueous solution of $KCl$ was found to require $20 \ mL$ of $1 \ M \ AgNO_3$ solution when titrated using $K_2CrO_4$ as an indicator. What is the depression in freezing point of $KCl$ solution of the given concentration? (Nearest integer). Given: $K_f = 2.0 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$. Assume: $(1)$ $100 \%$ ionization and $(2)$ density of the aqueous solution as $1 \ g \ mL^{-1}$.
A
$3$
B
$1$
C
$2$
D
$4$

Solution

(A) The reaction is: $KCl + AgNO_3 \rightarrow AgCl + KNO_3$.
At the equivalence point,the millimoles of $KCl$ equal the millimoles of $AgNO_3$:
$n(KCl) = 20 \ mL \times 1 \ M = 20 \ mmol = 0.02 \ mol$.
Mass of the solution $= 25 \ mL \times 1 \ g \ mL^{-1} = 25 \ g$.
Mass of $KCl$ solute $= 0.02 \ mol \times 74.5 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 1.49 \ g$.
Mass of solvent $= 25 \ g - 1.49 \ g = 23.51 \ g = 0.02351 \ kg$.
Molality $(m) = \frac{0.02 \ mol}{0.02351 \ kg} \approx 0.8507 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Since $KCl$ undergoes $100 \%$ ionization,the van't Hoff factor $i = 2$.
Depression in freezing point $\Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times m = 2 \times 2.0 \times 0.8507 = 3.4028 \ K$.
The nearest integer is $3$.

$20\%$ of acetic acid is dissociated when its $5\ g$ is added to $500\ mL$ of water. The depression in freezing point of such water is $..... \times 10^{-3} \ { }^{\circ}C$. Atomic mass of $C$,$H$,and $O$ are $12$,$1$,and $16 \ \text{a.m.u.}$ respectively.
[Given: Molal depression constant and density of water are $1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$ and $1 \ g \ cm^{-3}$ respectively.]
A
$371$
B
$372$
C
$373$
D
$375$

Solution

(B) $1$. Calculate the molar mass of acetic acid $(CH_3COOH)$: $12 + 3(1) + 12 + 16 + 16 + 1 = 60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
$2$. Calculate the van't Hoff factor $(i)$ for $20\%$ dissociation $(\alpha = 0.2)$: $i = 1 + \alpha(n-1) = 1 + 0.2(2-1) = 1.2$.
$3$. Calculate the molality $(m)$ of the solution: $m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{5/60}{0.5} = \frac{1}{6} \times 2 = 0.333 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
$4$. Calculate the depression in freezing point $(\Delta T_f)$: $\Delta T_f = i \times K_f \times m = 1.2 \times 1.86 \times \frac{5 \times 1000}{60 \times 500} = 1.2 \times 1.86 \times 0.1666 = 0.372 \ { }^{\circ}C$.
$5$. Express in the required format: $0.372 \ { }^{\circ}C = 372 \times 10^{-3} \ { }^{\circ}C$.

The solution from the following with the highest depression in freezing point (lowest freezing point) is:
A
$180 \ g$ of acetic acid dissolved in water
B
$180 \ g$ of acetic acid dissolved in benzene
C
$180 \ g$ of benzoic acid dissolved in benzene
D
$180 \ g$ of glucose dissolved in water

Solution

(B) The depression in freezing point is given by $\Delta T_f = i \cdot K_f \cdot m$.
$1.$ For $180 \ g$ of acetic acid ($CH_3COOH$,molar mass $= 60 \ g/mol$) in benzene,$m = 3 \ mol/kg$ (assuming $1 \ kg$ solvent). Acetic acid dimerizes in benzene,so $i \approx 0.5$. $\Delta T_f = 0.5 \times 5.12 \times 3 = 7.68 \ K$.
$2.$ For $180 \ g$ of benzoic acid ($C_6H_5COOH$,molar mass $= 122 \ g/mol$) in benzene,$m = 180/122 \approx 1.47 \ mol/kg$. $i \approx 0.5$. $\Delta T_f = 0.5 \times 5.12 \times 1.47 \approx 3.76 \ K$.
$3.$ For $180 \ g$ of acetic acid in water,$m = 3 \ mol/kg$. Acetic acid is a weak electrolyte,$i \approx 1 + \alpha \approx 1$. $\Delta T_f = 1 \times 1.86 \times 3 = 5.58 \ K$.
$4.$ For $180 \ g$ of glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$,molar mass $= 180 \ g/mol$) in water,$m = 1 \ mol/kg$. $i = 1$. $\Delta T_f = 1 \times 1.86 \times 1 = 1.86 \ K$.
Comparing all,acetic acid in benzene shows the highest $\Delta T_f$.

$2.5 \ g$ of a non-volatile,non-electrolyte is dissolved in $100 \ g$ of water at $25^{\circ} C$. The solution showed a boiling point elevation by $2^{\circ} C$. Assuming the solute concentration is negligible with respect to the solvent concentration,the vapour pressure of the resulting aqueous solution is . . . . . . $mm$ of $Hg$ (nearest integer).
[Given : Molal boiling point elevation constant of water $(K_b) = 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,
$1 \ atm$ pressure $= 760 \ mm$ of $Hg$,molar mass of water $= 18 \ g \ mol^{-1}]$
A
$702$
B
$704$
C
$705$
D
$707$

Solution

(D) Given: $\Delta T_b = 2 \ K$,$K_b = 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,$W_{\text{solvent}} = 100 \ g$,$M_{\text{solvent}} = 18 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,$P^{\circ} = 760 \ mm \ Hg$.
Step $1$: Calculate molality $(m)$ using $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$.
$2 = 0.52 \times m \implies m = \frac{2}{0.52} \approx 3.846 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Step $2$: Use Raoult's law for dilute solutions: $\frac{P^{\circ} - P_s}{P^{\circ}} = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{n_{\text{solvent}}}$.
Since $m = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{W_{\text{solvent}}(kg)}$,we have $n_{\text{solute}} = m \times \frac{W_{\text{solvent}}}{1000}$.
$n_{\text{solvent}} = \frac{100}{18} = 5.556 \ mol$.
Step $3$: Calculate relative lowering of vapour pressure.
$\frac{\Delta P}{P^{\circ}} = \frac{m \times W_{\text{solvent}}}{1000} \times \frac{1}{n_{\text{solvent}}} = \frac{m \times M_{\text{solvent}}}{1000}$.
$\Delta P = 760 \times \frac{3.846 \times 18}{1000} = 760 \times 0.069228 = 52.613 \ mm \ Hg$.
Step $4$: Calculate vapour pressure of solution $(P_s)$.
$P_s = P^{\circ} - \Delta P = 760 - 52.613 = 707.387 \ mm \ Hg$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,we get $707 \ mm \ Hg$.
