19. Read the passage to answer the questions given below:
Ideal Solution An ideal solution is a solution where the intermolecular interactions between
solute-solute (A-A) and solvent-solvent (B-B) are similar to the interaction between
solutesolvent (A-B). An ideal solution fulfils the following criteria: • It obeys Raoult’s law for all
the concentration and temperature ranges. Which states that the partial vapour pressure of
each component is proportional to the mole fraction of the component in a solution at a given
temperature. • The enthalpy of mixing is zero, i.e. ΔHmix = 0. It means that no heat is absorbed
or released. • The volume of mixing is zero, ΔVmix = 0. It means that the volume of the solution
is equal to the sum of the volume of components. The ideal solution is possible with
components of the same size and polarity. There is no association, dissociation or reaction
taking place between components. A perfect ideal solution is rare but some solutions are near
to the ideal solution. Examples are Benzene and toluene, hexane and heptane, bromoethane
and chloroethane, chlorobenzene and bromobenzene, etc. Non-ideal Solution When a solution
does not obey Raoult’s law for all the concentration and temperature ranges it is known as a
non-ideal solution. A non-ideal solution may show positive or negative deviation from Raoult’s
law. ΔHmix and ΔVmix for non-ideal solutions are not equal to zero. a) Non-ideal solution
showing positive deviation Here the total vapour pressure is higher than that calculated from
Raoult’s equation. The interaction between solute-solvent (A-B) is weaker than those of pure
components (A-A or B-B). The ΔHmix and ΔVmix are positive. E.g. ethanol and acetone, carbon
disulphide and acetone, acetone and benzene, etc. b) Non-ideal solution showing negative
deviation Here the total vapour pressure is lower than that calculated from Raoult’s equation.
The interaction between solute-solvent (A-B) is stronger than those of pure components (A-A or
B-B). The ΔHmix and ΔVmix are negative. E.g. phenol and aniline, chloroform and acetone, etc.
(i). Give example of solution showing negative deviation
(ii) What type of interaction between solute and solvent(A &B) for ideal solution?
(iii)What is the nature of ∆H of mixing for solution showing negative and positive deviation

20. Henna is investigating the melting point of different salt solutions. She makes a salt solution
using 10 mL of water with a known mass of NaCl salt. She puts the salt solution into a freezer
and leaves it to freeze. She takes the frozen salt solution out of the freezer and measures the
temperature when the frozen salt solution melts. She repeats each experiment.

Assuming the melting point of pure water as 0oC, answer the following questions:
 a. One temperature in the second set of results does not fit the pattern. Which temperature is
that? Justify your answer.
b. Why did Henna collect two sets of results?
c. In place of NaCl, if Henna had used glucose, what would have been the melting point of the
solution with 0.6 g glucose in it?
21. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
The constant k is the reaction rate constant or rate coefficient of the reaction. Its value may
depend on conditions such as temperature, ionic strength, surface area of an adsorbent, or light
irradiation. The integrated rate equations can be fitted with kinetic data to determine the order
of a reaction. The integrated rate equations for zero, first and second order reactions are: Zero
order: [A] = - kt + [A]0 First order: log [A] = -kt/2.303 + log [A]0 Second order: 1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]0
These equations can also be used to calculate the half-life periods of different reactions, which
give the time during which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its initial
concentration, i.e. at time t1/2; [A] = [A]0/2
(a) For a second order reaction, rate at a particular time is x. If the initial concentration is tripled,
the rate will become
(b) What will be the plot of [A] versus t for zero order reaction

mol L-1 . The half-life period is?
