Question 1.

Differentiate between molarity and molality of a solution. (All India 2010)


Answer:
The distinction between molarity and molality.
Molarity : It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 litre of solution. It is temperature
dependent.
M = ω×1000 mol.mass ×V
Molality : It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of the solvent.
m = ω×1000M2×W
The relationship between molarity and molality is
m = Md−MM21000
When molality = molarity, we get,
1 = 1d−MM21000 or d – MM˙21000 = 1
∴ d = 1+MM21000
Molarity is temperature dependent while molarity is not.
For very dilute solution, the factor MM2/1000 can be neglected in comparison to 1.
Hence molality will be same to molarity when density d = 1.
Molality is independent of temperature, whereas molarity is a function of temperature because
volume depends on temperature and mass does not.

What type of semiconductor is obtained when silicon is doped with arsenic? (Delhi 2010)
Answer:
n-type semiconductor.

Question 3.
What is meant by ‘reverse osmosis’? (All India 2011)
Answer:
If a pressure higher than the osmotic pressure is applied on the solution, the solvent will flow
from the solution into the pure solvent through semipermeable membrane. This process is called
reverse osmosis (R.O.).

Question 4.
What are isotonic solutions? (Delhi 2014)
Answer:
An isotonic solution is a kind of solution with the same salt concentration as blood and cells.
Those solutions which are exerting same osmotic pressure under similar conditions (For example
0.9% NaCl solution by mass volume is Isotonic with human blood).

Question 5.

Question 8.
Differentiate between molality and molarity of a solution. What is the effect of change in
temperature of a solution on its molality and molarity? (Delhi 2009)
Answer:
Distinction between molarity and molality.
Molarity : It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 litre of solution. It is temperature
dependent.
M = ω×1000 mol.mass ×V
Molality : It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of the solvent.
m = ω×1000M2×W
The relationship between molarity and molality is
m = Md−MM21000
When molality = molarity, we get,
1 = 1d−MM21000 or d – MM˙21000 = 1
∴ d = 1+MM21000
Molarity is temperature dependent while molarity is not.
For very dilute solution, the factor MM2/1000 can be neglected in comparison to 1.
Hence molality will be same to molarity when density d = 1.
Molality is independent of temperature, whereas molarity is a function of temperature because
volume depends on temperature and mass does not.

Question 9.
Non-ideal solutions exhibit either positive or negative deviations from Raoult’s law. What are
these deviations and why are they caused? Explain with one example for each type. (Delhi 2010)
Answer:
Non-ideal solutions exhibit Negative deviation from Raoult’s law : For any composition of
the non-ideal solution, the partial vapour pressure of each component and total vapour pressure
of the solution is less than expected from Raoult’s law. Such solutions show negative deviation.
Example : Mixture of CHCl3 and acetone.
deal solutions show positive deviations from Raoult’s law on mixing of two volatile
Non-ideal
components of the solution.
Example : Mixture of acetone and benzene solutions show positive deviation,

Question 10.
Define the terms, ‘osmosis’ and ‘osmotic pressure’.
Whatt is the advantage of using osmotic pressure as compared to other colligative properties for
the determination of molar masses of solutes in solutions? (All India 2010)
Answer:
Osmosis : The net spontaneous flow of the solvent molecules from the solvent to the solution or
from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a semipermeable
membrane is called osmosis.
Osmotic pressure : The minimum excess pressure that has to be applied on the solution to
prevent the entry of the solvent into the solution through the semipermeable membrane is called
the osmotic pressure.
The osmotic pressure method has the advantage that it uses molarities instead of molalities and it
can be measured at room temperature.

Question 11.
A 1.00 molal aqueous solution of trichloroacetic acid (CCl3COOH) is heated to its boiling point.
The solution has the boiling point of 100.18°C. Determine the van’t Hoff factor for
trichloroacetic acid. (Kb for water = 0.512 K kg mol-1) (Delhi 2012)
Answer:
As ΔTb= iKbm
(100.18 – 100) °C = i × 0.512 K kg mol-1 × 1 m
0.18 K = i × 0.512 K kg mol-11 × 1 m
∴ i = 0.3

Question 12.
Define the following terms :
(i) Mole fraction
(ii) Isotonic solutions

number of moles in a mixture.
(ii) Isotonic solution : Two solutions having same osmotic pressure at a given temperature are
called Isotonic solutions.
(iii) van’t Hoff factor : van’t Hoff factor is expressed as :
i = normal molar mass abnormal molar mass
(iv) Ideal solution : The solution which obeys Raoult’s law under all conditions is known as an
ideal solution.

Question 13.
Explain why aquatic species are more comfortable in cold water rather than in warm water.
(Comptt. Delhi 2012)
Answer:
Aquatic species need dissolved oxygen for breathing. As solubility of gases decreases with
increase of temperature, less oxygen is available in summer in the lake. Hence the aquatic
species feel more comfortable in winter (low temperature) when the solubility of oxygen is
higher.

Question 14.
State Raoult’s law. How is it formulated for solutions of non-volatile solutes? (Comptt. Delhi
2012)
Answer:
Raoult’s Law : Raoult’s Law states that “for a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour of
each component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction”.
Thus for component 1 : p1 = p10 X1
where [p10 is vapour pressure of pure component 1]
For component 2 : p2 = P20 X2
According to Dalton’s law of partial pressure
PTotal = P2 + P2 ⇒ PT = p1 0X1 + p2 0X2
⇒ PT = p1 0(1 – X2) + p2 0X2
⇒ PT = p1 0+ (p2 0 – p1 0)X2

Question 15.
State Henry’s law and mention two of its important applications. (Comptt. All India 2012)
Answer:
Henry’s law : Henry’s law states that “The partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase is
proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution “, Applications of Henry’s law :

 To increase the solubility of CO2 in soft drinks and soda water, the bottle is sealed under
high pressure.
 To avoid a dangerous medical condition called bends, scuba divers use oxygen diluted
with less soluble helium gas.

Question 16.
Why do gases nearly always tend to be less soluble in liquids as the temperature is raised?
(Comptt. All India 2012)
Answer:
This is because the dissolution of gas in liquid is an exothermic process. The solubility should
decrease with increase in temperature.

Question 17.

At what temperature will this solution bo -
, boiling point of
pure water = 373.15 K) (Delhi 201
2013)
Answer:
We know that :
Elevation of boiling point ∆Tb
WBMB×100×Kbwt. of solvent
Given: WB = 18 g
MB = Formula of glucose is C6H12O6
= 6 × 12 + 12 + 6 × 16 = 180
Wt. of solvent = 1 kg or 1000 g,
Kb = 0.52 K kg mol-1
Hence, ∆Tb = 18g180×1000×0.521000g
1000×0.521000 = 0.52 K
B.P of the solution = 373.15 + 0.052
∴B.P
= 373.202 K

Question 18.
An aqueous solution of sodium chloride freezes below 273 K. Explain the lowering in freezing
points of water with the help of a suitable diagram. (Comptt. Delhi 2013)
Answer:
An aqueous solution of sodium chloride freezes below 273 K because vapour pressure g of the
solution is g less than that of the pure solvent.

Question 19.
non volatile. (Comptt. Delhi 2013)
Derive expression for Raoult’s law when the solute is non-volatile.
Answer:
Raoult’s law : Raoult’s law states that “for a solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour
pressure of each component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction”.
Thus for component 1 : p1 = p10X1
where [p10 is vapour pressure of pure component 1]
For component 2 : p2 = p20X2
ccording to Dalton’s law of partial pressure
PTotal = P1 + P2 ⇒ PT = p10X1 + p20X2
⇒ PT = p10( 1 – X2) + p20X2
∴ PT = p10 + (p20 – p10)X2

Question 20.
Calculate the mass of compound (molar mass = 256 g mol-1) to be dissolved in 75 g of benzene
to lower its freezing point by 0.48 K (Kf = 5.12 K kg mol-1). (Delhi 2014)
Answer:
Given : ∆Tf = 0.48 K, W1 = 75g,
M2 = 256 g mol-1 W2 =?
Using formula, W2 = M2×W1×ΔTf1000×Kf
= 256×75×0.481000×5.12 = 1.8 g

Question 21.
Define an ideal solution and write one of its characteristics. (Delhi 2014)
Answer:
Those solutions which are obeying Raoult’s law are called ideal solutions. An ideal solution is a
solution in which no volume change and no enthalpy change takes place on mixing the solute
and the solvent in any proportion.
Characteristic of an ideal solution :
There will be no change in enthalpy ∆Hmix = 0,
∆Vmix = 0, ∆Pmix = 0

Question 22.
State Henry’s law. What is the effect of temperature on the solubility of a gas in a liquid? (Delhi
2014)
Answer:
Henry’s law : Henry’s law states that, “The solubility of a gas in a liquid at a particular
temperature is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the liquid at
that temperature.” Solubility of gas decreases with increase of temperature at the same pressure.

Question 23.
State Raoult’s law for the solution containing volatile components. What is the similarity
between Raoult’s law and Henry’s law? (Delhi 2014)
Answer:
Raoult’s law : “In a solution, the vapour pressure of a component at a given temperature is equal
to the mole fraction of that component in the solution multiplied by the vapour pressure of that
component in pure state.”
Similarity between Raoult’s law and Henry’s law is that the partial pressure or vapour pressure
of the volatile component (gas) is directly proportional to the mole fraction of that component in
the solution.

Question 24.
How is the vapour pressure of a solvent affected when a non-volatile solute is dissolved in it?
(Comptt. Delhi 2014)
Answer:
The vapour pressure of a solvent decreases when a non-volatile solute is dissolved in it because
some solvent molecules are replaced by the molecules of solute.

Question 25.
Differentiate between molarity and molality of a solution. How can we change molality value of
a solution into molarity value? (Comptt. Delhi 2014)
Answer:
The distinction between molarity and molality.
Molarity : It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 litre of solution. It is temperature
dependent.
M = ω×1000 mol.mass ×V
Molality : It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of the solvent.
m = ω×1000M2×W
The relationship between molarity and molality is
m = Md−MM21000
When molality = molarity, we get,
1 = 1d−MM21000 or d – MM˙21000 = 1
∴ d = 1+MM21000
Molarity is temperature dependent while molarity is not.
For very dilute solution, the factor MM2/1000 can be neglected in comparison to 1.
Hence molality will be same to molarity when density d = 1.
Molality is independent of temperature, whereas molarity is a function of temperature because
volume depends on temperature and mass does not.
Molarity (M) and Molality (m) relationship :
∵ Molarity is M moles of solute present in 1000 mL solution
If density of solution is d g mL-1, then
Mass of solution = 1000 d g
Mass of solute = MM2
(M2 is molar mass of solute)
∴ Mass of solvent = 1000 d – MM2 g

Question 26.
eviations from Raoult’s law? Give an example. What is the sign of
What is meant by positive deviations
∆mixH for positive deviation? (Delhi 2015)
Answer:

higher than the vapour pressure calculated from Raoult’s law.
the total pressure of the solution is higher
For example, Water and Ethanol.
In case of positive deviations, ∆mixH > 0 (Positive)

Question 27.
Define azeotropes. What type of azeotrope is formed by positive deviation from Raoult’s law?
Given an example. (Delhi) 2015
Answer:

(ii) Blood cell will swell due to osmosis as water enters the cell.

Question 29.
Define osmotic pressure of a solution. How is the osmotic pressure related to the concentration
of a solute in a solution? (Comptt. Delhi 2015)
Answer:
Osmotic pressure : It is the external pressure which is applied on the side solution which is
sufficient to prevent the entry of the solvent through semi-permeable membrane.
According to the Boyle-van’t Hoff Law, the osmotic pressure (π) of a dilute solution is directly
proportional to its molar concentration provided temperature is constant.
π ∝ C (At constant temperature)
π ∝ CT (At constant concentration)
π = CRT (R = Solution constant)
or, π = nvRT

Question 30.
Define the following terms :
(i) Mole fraction (x)
(ii) Molality of a solution (m) (Comptt. All India 2015)
Answer:

moles of that constituent by the total number of moles of all the constituents present in the
solution. It is denoted by ‘x’.
Example : x1 = No. of moles of x1 Total no. of moles =nx1nx1+nx2

(ii) Molality of a solution : Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of the
solute dissolved in 1000 grams (1 kg) of the solvent. It is denoted by’m’.
m = w×1000M×W
Where w = Weight of solute in grams
M = Molecular mass of solute
W = Weight of solvent in grams

Question 31.
(i) Gas (A) is more soluble in water than Gas
(B) at the same temperature. Which one of the two gases will have the higher value of KH
(Henry’s constant) and why?
(ii) In non-ideal solution, what type of deviation shows the formation of maximum boiling
azeotropes? (All India 2016)
Answer:
(i) Gas (B) will have higher value of KH (Henry’s constant) than Gas (A) at the same temperature
because lesser the solubility of a gas in a given solvent, higher will be the value of KH for a gas.
KH = Partial pressure of gas Mole fraction of gas in the solution
(ii) Negative deviations from Raoult’s law show the formation of maximum boiling azeotropes.
Question 32.

The partial pressure of ethane over a saturated solution containing 6.56 × 10-2 g of ethane is 1
ins 5.0 × 10-2 g of ethane, then what will be the partial pressure of the
bar. If the solution contains
gas? (Comptt. All India 2012)
Answer:
Applying the Henry’s law, m = KH × p
In first case, 6.56 × 10-2 = KH × 1
KH = 6.56 × 10-2 g bar-1
Putting the value of KH in the second case, we get
5 × 10-2 g = 6.56 × 10-2 g bar-11 × p
∴ p = 5×10−26.56×10−2gbar = 0.762 bar

Question 52.
Determine the osmotic pressure of a solution prepared by dissolving 2.5 × 10-2 g of K2SO4 in 2L
of water at 25° C, assuming that it is completely dissociated.
(R = 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1, Molar mass of K2SO4 = 174 g mol-1). (Delhi 2013)
Answer:
We know, π = iCRT ⇒ π = inRTV nRTV
⇒ π = i × wM×1VRT
Given : w = 2.5 × 10-2 g = 0.025 g
V = 2L, T = 25°C = 298 K
M = K2SO4 = 2 × 39 + 32 + 4 × 16 = 174 g mol-1
K2SO4 = dissociates completely as K2SO4 → 2K+ + SO42-
∴ Ions produced = 3 i.e., i = 3
Hence, π = 3 × 0.025g174gmol−1×12L × 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1 × 298 K
∴ π = 527 × 10-3 atm

Question 53.

contain 5.0 × 10-2 g of ethane, then what will be the partial pressure of
bar. If the solution were to con
the gas? (Comptt. Delhi 2013)
Answer:
Applying the Henry’s law, m = KH × p
In first case, 6.56 × 10-2 = KH × 1
KH = 6.56 × 10-2 g bar-1
Putting the value of KH in the second case, we getge
5 × 10-2 g = 6.56 × 10-2 g bar-11 × p
∴ p = 5×10−26.56×10−2gbar = 0.762 bar

(i) the freezing point depression and
(ii) the freezing point of the solution
(Given : Kf of water = 1.86 K kg mol-1) (Comptt. Delhi 2015)
Answer:
(i) Given : w = 45 g, W = 600 g,
Kf = 1.86 K kg mol-1, Δ Tf = ?
Using the formula for freezing point depression,
ΔTf = Kfw×1000m×W
m of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2)
= 2 × 12 + 6 × 1 + 2 × 16
= 24 + 6 + 32 = 62 g mol-1
Substituting aboveve values in formula,
ΔTf = 1.86Kkgmol−1×45g×1000gkg−162gmol−1×600g
= 837372
∴ ΔTf = 2.25 K
(ii) ΔTf = Tf0 – Tf
Where, Tf0 = Freezing point of pure water
⇒ Tf = 273.15 – 2.25 K
∴ Tf = 270.9 K (Freezing point of the solution)

A 10% solution (by mass) of sucrose in water has freezing point of 269.15 K. Calculate the
freezing point of 10% glucose in water, if freezing point of pure water is 273.15 K.
Given: (Molar mass of sucrose = 342 g mol-1) (Molar mass of glucose = 180 g mol-1) (Delhi
2017)
Answer:
Molality (m) = w×100W×M
Given:
Molar mass of sucrose
= C12H22O11 = 12 × 12 + 22 + 11 × 16 = 342
10% solution (by mass) of sucrose in water means 10 g of sucrose is present in (100 – 10)
= 90 g of water
10% solution of sucrose means, w = 10 g
Mass of water, W = 90 g

∴ ΔTf for glucose = 12.33 × 0.6166 = 7.60 K (approx.)


∴ Freezing point of 10% glucose solution
= (273.15 – 7.60) K = 265.55 K

(R = 0.0821 L atm mol-1 K-1 and 760 mm Hg = 1 atm) (All India 2009)
Answer:
(a) (i) Mole fraction : Mole fraction of a constituent is the fraction obtained by dividing number
of moles of that constituent by the total number of moles of all the constituents present in the
solution. It is denoted by ‘x’.
Example :
xi = No. of moles of x1 Total no. of moles =nx1nx1+nx2

π = 13.3 mm Hg = 13.3760 atm,
T = 25°C = 25 + 273 = 298 K
R = 0.0821 L atm mol-1 K-1, M = ?

Question 66.
(a) Differentiate between molarity and molality for a solution.
How does a change in temperature influence their values?
(b) Calculate the freezing point of an acqueous solution containing 10.50 g of MgBr2 in 200 g of
water. (Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184 g) (Kf for water = 1.86 K kg mol-1) (Delhi 2011)
Answer:
(a) Distinction between molarity and molality.
Molarity : It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 litre of solution. It is temperat
temperature
dependent.
M = ω×1000 mol.mass ×V
Molality : It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of the solvent.
m = ω×1000M2×W
The relationship between molarity and molality is
m = Md−MM21000
When molality = molarity, we get,
1 = 1d−MM21000 or d – MM˙21000 = 1
∴ d = 1+MM21000
Molarity is temperature dependent while molarity is not.
For very dilute solution, the factor MM2/1000 can be neglected in comparison to 1.
Hence molality will be same to molarity when density d = 1.
Molality is independent of temperature, whereas molarity is a function of temperature because
volume depends on temperature and mass does not.

water.
(Kb for water = 0.512 K kg mol-1, Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g) (Delhi 2011)
Answer:
pontaneous flow of the solvent molecules from the solvent to the solution or
Osmosis : The net spontaneous

membrane is called osmosis.
Osmotic pressure : The minimum excess pressure that has to be applied on the solution to
prevent the entry of the solvent into the solution through the semipermeable membrane is called
the osmotic pressure.
The osmotic pressure method has the advantage that it uses molarities instead of molalities and it
can be measured
ured at room temperature.
(b) Since NaCl is an ionic compound so undergoes complete dissociation.

Answer:
(a) (i) Henry’s law : “The solubility of a gas in a liquid at a particular temperature is directly
proportional to the pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the liquid at that temperature.”
Applications of Henry’s law :
whichh are prepared under high pressure.

• Deep sea divers depend upon compressed air for their oxygen supply.

(ii) Raoult’s law : For a solution of volatile liquids the partial vapour pressure of each
mole fraction present in solution.
component of the solution is directly proportional to its mole
P = P°x
ideal solution shows positive and negative deviations from Raoult’s law.
Non-ideal
Positive deviation from Raoult’s law : The total vapour pressure for any solution is greater
than the corresponding ideal solution of samsamee composition. Such behaviour is called positive
deviation.
Example : Mixtures of ethanol + cyclohexane
Mixture of acetone + carbon disulphide
Negative deviation from Raoult’s law: When the total vapour pressure will be less than

V = 35 mLπ = 0.335 torr
T = 25°C = 298 K M2 = ?

(b) What would be the molar mass of a compound if 6.21 g of it dissolved in 24.0 g of
chloroform form a solution that has a boiling point of 68.04°C. The boiling point of pure
chloroform is 61.7°C and the boboiling point elevation constant, Kb for chloroform is 3.63°C/m.
(Delhi 2011)
Answer:
(a) Distinction between molarity and molality.
Molarity : It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 litre of solution. It is temperature
dependent.
M = ω×1000 mol.mass ×V
Molality : It is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of the solvent.
m = ω×1000M2×W
The relationship between molarity and molality is
m = Md−MM21000
When molality = molarity, we get,
1 = 1d−MM21000 or d – MM˙21000 = 1
∴ d = 1+MM21000
Molarity is temperature dependent while molarity is not.
For very dilute solution, the factor MM2/1000 can be neglected in comparison to 1.
Hence molality will be same to molarity when density d = 1.
Molality is independent of temperature, whereas molarity is a function of temperature because
volume depends on temperature and mass does not.

(b) Given : w2 = 6.21 g, w1 = 24 g


ΔTb = Tb – T°b = 68.04 – 61.7 °C
= 6.34 °C
Kb = 3.63 °C/m, M2 = ?
Substituting all these values in formula given below
∴ Molar mass of the compound, M = 148.14 g mol-1

of water. This solution has a boiling point of 100.42°C. What mass of glycerol was dissolved to
make this solution?
(Kb for water = 0.512 K kg mol-1) (All India 2011)
Answer:
(a) (i) Henry’s law : The law states “that at a constant temperature, the sol
solubility of a gas in a
liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas.”
(ii) Boiling point elevation constant for a solvent or molal elevation constant may be defined
as the elevation in the boiling point when the molality of the solution is unity.
uni
(b) ΔTb = (100.42 – 100)°C = 0.42°C or 0.42 K
ΔTb = Kb m
0.42 = 0.512 × W292×1000500
W2 = 0.42×92×5000.512×1000=4.830.128 = 37.7 g
where W2 is the weight of the solute.

Question 72.
(a) State Raoult’s law for a solution containing volatile components. How does Raoult’s law
become a special case of Henry’s law?
(b) 1.00 g of a non-electrolyte solute dissolved in 50 g of benzene lowered the freezing point of
benzene by 0.40 K. Find the molar mass of the solute. (Kf for benzene = 5.12 K kg mol-1) (All
India 2013)
Answer:
Raoult’s law: For a solution of volatile liquids the partial vapour pressure of each component of
the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction present in solution.
P = P°x
Non-ideal solution shows positive and negative deviations from Raoult’s law.
(i) Positive deviation from Raoult’s law : The total vapour pressure for any solution is greater
than the corresponding ideal solution of same composition. Such behaviour is called positive
deviation.
Example : Mixtures of ethanol + cyclohexane Mixture of acetone + carbon disulphide
(ii) Negative deviation from Raoult’s law : When the total vapour pressure will be less than
corresponding vapour pressure, then it is termed as negative deviation.
Example : Chloroform + Benzene
Chloroform + Diethvlether
According to Raoult’s law PA = PA° × xA
According to Henry’s law PA = KH × xA
Thus both laws are identical and differ by their proportionality constants.

(b) We know that M2 = 1000Kfw2w1DTf


Given : w2 = 1.0 g, w1 = 50 g, ΔTf = 0.40
Kf = 5.12 K kg mol-1
∴ M2 = 1000gkg−1×5.12kgmol−1×1.0g50g×0.40K
= 256 g mol-1

Question 73.
(a) Define the following terms :
(i) Ideal solution (ii) Azeotrope
(iii) Osmotic pressure
(b) A solution of glucose (C6H12O6) in water is labelled as 10% by weight. What would be the
molality of the solution?
(Molar mass of glucose = 180 g mol-1) (All India 2013)
Answer:
(a) (i) Ideal solution : An ideal solution is that which obeys Raoult’s law and in which the
intermolecular interactions between the different components are of same magnitude as that is
found in pure components.
(ii) Azeotrope : It is a type of liquid mixture having a definite composition and boiling like a
pure liquid, (distills without change in compositions)
(iii) Osmotic pressure : The minimum excess pressure that has to be applied on the solution to
prevent the entry of the solvent into the solution through semi- permeable membrane is called
osmotic pressure.

(b) 10% of glucose means 10 g of solute in 100 g of solvent


∴ Mass of solute = 10 g
Mass of solvent = 100 – 10 = 90 g
= 901000 kg
Molar mass of glucose = 180 g mol-1
No. of moles of 10100=118 mole
∴ Molarity = No. of moles of solute mass of solvent in kg
= 118×100090=100162
= 0.67 mol kg-1 = 0.6 m

Question 74.
(a) The vapour pressures of benzene and toluene at 293 K are 75 mm Hg and 22 mm Hg
respectively. 23.4 g of benzene and 64.4 g of toluene are mixed. If the two form an ideal
solution, calculate the mole fraction of benzene in the vapour phase assuming that the vapour
pressures are in equilibrium with the liquid mixture at this temperature.
(b) What is meant by +ve and -ve deviations from Raoult’s law and how is the sign of AH
solution related to +ve and -ve deviations from Raoult’s law?
(Comptt. All India 2013)
Answer:
(a) Given : Mass of benzene = 23.4 g
Molar mass of benzene = C6H6
= 12 × 6 + 6 = 78g mol-1
Mass of toluene = 64.4 g
Molar mass of toluene = C6H5CH3
= 12 × 7 + 8 = 92g mol-1
Moles of Benzene = 23.478 = 0.3 mole
Moles of toluene = 64.492 = 0.7 mole
Vapour pressure of benzene, PB = xB × P
= 0.3 × 75 = 22.5 mm
Vapour pressure of toluene, PT = xT × P
= 0.7 × 22 = 15.4 mm
Total vapour pressure = 22.5 + 15.4
= 37.9 mm
∴ Mole fraction of benzene = 22.537.9 = 0.59

(b) +ve and -ve deviations :


Raoult’s law: For a solution of volatile liquids the partial vapour pressure of each component of
the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction present in solution.
P = P°x
Non-ideal solution shows positive and negative deviations from Raoult’s law.
(i) Positive deviation from Raoult’s law : The total vapour pressure for any solution is greater
than the corresponding ideal solution of same composition. Such behaviour is called positive
deviation.
Example : Mixtures of ethanol + cyclohexane Mixture of acetone + carbon disulphide
(ii) Negative deviation from Raoult’s law : When the total vapour pressure will be less than
corresponding vapour pressure, then it is termed as negative deviation.
Example : Chloroform + Benzene
Chloroform + Diethvlether
According to Raoult’s law PA = PA° × xA
According to Henry’s law PA = KH × xA
Thus both laws are identical and differ by their proportionality constants.
If it is higher, the solution exhibits positive deviation and if it is low, it exhibits negative
deviation from Raoult’s law.
For positive deviation ΔmixH = +ve
For negative devation ΔmixH = -ve

(b) A solution containing 15 g urea (molar mass = 60 g mol-1) per litre of solution in water has
the same osmotic pressure (isotonic) as a solution of glucose (molar mass = 180 g mol-1) in
water. Calculate the mass of glucose present in one litre of its solution. (All India 2014)
Answer:
(a) (i) Molarity is the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of solution.
(ii) Molal elevation constant may be defined as the elevation in boiling point when the molality
of solution is unity i.e. 1 mole of solute is dissolved in 1 kg of the solvent.

(b) For urea, concentration = 1560 moles/lt.


For glucose, concentration = w180
w moles/lt.
∵ Solutions are isotonic
∴ w180=1560 ∴ w = 15×18060 = 45 g

What would be the molality and molarity of the solution?
s
(Density of solution = 1.2 g mL-1) (All India 2014)
Answer:
(a) Since acetone is nearly non polar in nature and ethanol is polar in nature therefore, no
non-polar
interaction occurs between acetone and ethanol, the number of molecules increases, which shows
positive deviation.

(b) 10% glucose means 10 g in 100 g solution or, 90 g of water = 0.090 kg of water

of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 containing equimolar amounts of both?
(Molar mass : Na2CO3 = 106 g, NaHCO3 = 84 g) (Comptt. All India 2014)
Answer:
(a) (i) Van’t Hoff factor : It is defined as the ratio of the experimental value of the colligative
property to the calculated value of the colligative property .
i = Experimental value Calculated value
solution, the Van’t Hoff factor T’ will be greater than
If there is dissociation of the solute in the solution,
one i.e. i > 1.
It means observed colligative property will be greater than calculated value.
(ii) Association : If there is association of solute in the solution, the Van’t Hoff factor ‘f’ will be
less than one i.e. i < 1. Thus, observed colligative property will be less than the calculated value.

(b) Calculation of no. of moles of the components in the mixture


Suppose Na2CO3 in the mixture = x g
∴ NaHCO3 in the mixture = (1 – x) g
Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 106 g mol-1
Molar mass of NaHCO3 = 84 g mol-1
∴ Moles of Na2CO3 = x106
and Moles of NaHCO3 = 1−x84 84
As the mixture contains equimolar amounts of both

No. of moles of HCl required


Na2CO3 + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2
1 mole of Na2CO3 requires HC1 = 2 moles
∴ 0.00526 mole of Na2CO3 requires HCl
= 0.00526 × 2 = 0.01052 mole
Similarly, 0.00526 mole of NaHCO3 requires
HCl = 0.00526
∴ Total HCl required = 0.01052 + 0.00526 = 0.01578 moles
Thus 0.1 mole of HCl is present in 1000 mL of HCl
∴ 0.01578 mole of HCl present in 1000 mL
= 10000.1 × 0.01578 = 157.8 mL

Question 79.
(a) Define
(i) Mole fraction (Hi) Raoult’s law
(b) Assuming complete dissociation, calculate the expected freezing point of a solution prepared
auber’s salt, Na2SO4.10H2O in 0.100 kg of water. (Kf for water = 1.86
by dissolving 6.00 g of Glauber’s
K kg mol-1, Atomic masses : Na = 23, S = 32, O = 16, H = 1) (Comptt. All India 2014)
Answer:
(a) (i) Mole fraction : Mole fraction is the ratio of number of moles of one component to the
total number of moles in a mixture.
(ii) Molality of a solution : Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of the
solute dissolved in 1000 grams (1 kg) of the solvent. It is denoted by’m’.
m = w×1000M×W
Where
‘w = Weight of solute in grams
M = Molecular mass of solute
W = Weight of solvent in grams

(ii) Raoult’s law : For a solution of volatile liquids the partial vapour pressure of each
component of the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction present in solution.
P = P°x
ideal solution shows positive and negative deviations from Raoult’s law.
Non-ideal
Positive deviation from Raoult’s law : The total vapour pressure for any solution is greater
than the corresponding ideal solution of same composition. Such behaviour is called positive
posit
deviation.
Example : Mixtures of ethanol + cyclohexane
Mixture of acetone + carbon disulphide
Negative deviation from Raoult’s law: When the total vapour pressure will be less than
corresponding vapour pressure, then it is termed as negative deviation.
Example : Chloroform + Benzene Chloroform + Diethylether

(b) Since Na2SO4.10H2O is an ionic compound, so undergoes complete dissociation.

Question 80.
Calculate the freezing point of solution when 1.9 g of MgCl2 (M = 95 g mol-1) was dissolved in
50 g of water, assuming MgCl2 undergoes complete ionization.
(Kf for water = 1.86 K kg mol-1)
(b) (i) Out of 1 M glucose and 2 M glucose, which one has a higher boiling point and why?
(ii) What happens when the external pressure applied becomes more than the os
osmotic pressure of
solution? (Delhi 2016)
Answer:
(a) Since MgCl2 is an ionic compound, so it undergoes complete dissociation.

(b)
(i) 2M glucose will have a higher boiling point than 1M glucose because elevation in boiling
point is a colligative property which depends upon the number of particles in the solution which
is more in the case of 2M glucose solution.
(ii) When the external pressure applied becomes more than the osmotic pressure of the solution,
then the solvent will flow from the solution into the pure solvent through the semi
semi-permeable
membrane. The process is called reverse osmosis (RO).

Question 81.
(a) When 2.56 g of sulphur was dissolved in 100 g of CS2, the freezing point lowered by 0.383
K. Calculate the formula of sulphur (Sx).
(Kf for CS2 = 3.83 K kg mol-1, Atomic mass of Sulphur = 32 g mol-1)
(b) Blood cells are isotonic with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. What happens if we place blood
cells in a solution containing
(i) 1.2% sodium chloride solution?
(ii) 0.4% sodium chloride solution?(Delhi
solution? 2016)
Answer:
(a) Given: wb = 2.56 g wa = 100 g = 0.1 kg
ΔTf = 0.383 K Kf= 3.83 K kg mol-1
Atomic mass of sulphur = 32 g mol-1
Mb = ?
Using formula,
∴ Mb = 256 g mol-1
Hence the no. of atoms present in one molecule of sulphur = 25632 = 8
∴ the formula is S8.

(b) (i) If RBCs are placed in contact with 1.2% NaCl solution, then the osmotic pressure of 1.2%
NaCl becomes higher than that of RBCs due to which water present inside the cells moves into
the NaCl solution which results in shrinkage of RBCs.
(ii) Reverse process will take place if RBCs are kept in contact with 0.4% NaCl solution which
has less osmotic pressure ’ due to which water moves into RBCs and they will swell.

Question 82.
(a) A 10% solution (by mass) of sucrose in water has a freezing point of 269.15 K. Calculate the
freezing point of 10% glucose in water if the freezing point of pure water is 273.15 K.
Given: (Molar mass of sucrose = 342 g mol-1) (Molar mass of glucose = 180 g mol-1)
(b) Define the following terms:
(i) Molality (m)
(ii)) Abnormal molar mass (All India 2017)
Answer:
(a) Molality (m) = w×100W×M
Given:
Molar mass of sucrose
= C12H22O11 = 12 × 12 + 22 + 11 × 16 = 342
10% solution (by mass) of sucrose in water means 10 g of sucrose is present in (100 – 10)
= 90 g of water
10% solution of sucrose means, w = 10 g
Mass of water, W = 90 g

∴ ΔTf for glucose = 12.33 × 0.6166 = 7.60 K (approx.)


∴ Freezing point of 10% glucose solution
= (273.15 – 7.60) K = 265.55 K

(b) (i) Molality (m): Number of moles of solute dissolved per kg of the solvent.
(ii) Abnormal molar mass: If the molar mass calculated by using any of the colligative
properties comes to be different than theoretically expected molar mass.
