For KBr, i = 1 + α = 1 + 0.80 = 1.80
∆ Tf = iKfm = 1.80 × 1.86 × 0.5 = 1.674
Tf = 273 – 1.674 = 271.326 K

7.  (C)
When acetone and chloroform are mixed, the hydrogen-bonding takes place between the two due to
which escaping tendency of either of the liquid solution becomes less.

9.  (B)
Doping of elements of group 14 (Ge and Si) with group 15 (As) elements produces an excess of
electrons and shows n-type semiconduction

10.  (C)
In paramagnetic substances, unpaired electrons are randomly distributed which develops an ordered
arrangement only in magnetic field to develop paramagnetic nature.

11.  (B)
In ZnS, S2- (sulphide ions) are present at FCC positions giving four sulphide ions per unit cell.  four Zn2+
ions must be present in four alternate tetrahedral voids out of eight tetrahedral voids present.
In NaCl, Na+ ions are present in octahedral voids while in Na2O, Na+ ions are present in all its
tetrahedral voids giving the desired 2 : 1 stoichiometry. In CaF2, Ca2+ ions occupy FCC positions and all
the tetrahedral voids are occupied by fluoride ions.

12.  (B)
π = iCRT
NaCl osmotic pressure = BaCl2 osmotic pressure
(3 × 2RT) = (2 × 3 RT)

13.  (B)

14.  (A)
NaCl is strong electrolyte and CH3COOH weak electrolyte.
∴ p1 > p2 (value of i will be more in case of NaCl)

15.  (D)
Schottky defects arise when equal number of positive ion and negative ion are missing from their
respective positions leaving behind a pair of holes. These are more common in ionic compounds with
high co-ordination number and having almost similar size of cations and anions. In schottky defects,
electrical neutrality is maintained as equal number of positive ion and negative ion are missing from the
crystal.

Electric field is zero everywhere inside a metal (conductor) i.e. field lines do not enter a metal.
Simultaneously these are perpendicular to a metal surface (equipotential surface).

Electric field lines never enter a metallic conductor (E = 0, inside a conductor) and they fall normally on
the surface of a metallic conductor (because whole surface is at same potential and lines are
perpendicular to equipotential surface).
