  1. 1 and 2

  2. 1 and 3

  3. 1 and 4

  4. 2 and 3

  5. 3 and 4


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Correct answer. A non-volatile solute lowers the freezing point of a solvent. Colligative properties depend upon the number of particles of the solute and is independent of nature of the solute.

At what Temperature will 0.25 molal NaCl(aq) boil?

Kb = 0.51oC kg mol-1

  1. 97.48oC

  2. 97.74oC

  3. 100.00oC

  4. 100.26oC

  5. 100.52oC


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Correct answer. Elevation in boiling point (ΔTb) = Kb x iNaCl x mNaCl = (0.51oC kg mol-1) x (2) x (0.25 mol/kg) = 0.26oC The boiling point of 0.25 molal NaCl = 100.00oC + 0.26oC = 100.26oC

A solution of urea in water has a vapour pressure of 266.3 torr. The vapour pressure of pure water is 355.1 torr. Calculate the mole fraction of urea in the solution.

  1. 0.25

  2. 0.50

  3. 0.75

  4. 1.0

  5. 1.25


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Correct answer. Urea is non-volatile. Water obeys Raoult’s law. Pwater = Xwater x P°water 266.3 torr = Xwater x (355.1 torr) Xwater = 266.3 / 355.1 = 0.75 From equation, X1 + X2 + X3 ...... = 1 Xurea + Xwater = 1 Xurea = 1 – 0.75 = 0.25

Consider the following solutions:

  1. 0.10 m BaCl2 (aq)
  2. 0.12 m K2SO4(aq)
  3. 0.12 m KBr(aq)

Arrange the above solutions in increasing order of their boiling points.

  1. 1 < 2 < 3

  2. 1 < 3 < 2

  3. 2 < 1 < 3

  4. 3 < 1 < 2

  5. 3 < 2 < 1


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Correct answer. Similar molalities, so similar deviations from expected. Expected van't Hoff factor of solutions at given concentration: i expected for BaCl2 = 0.10(3) = 0.30 i expected for K2SO4 = 0.12(3) = 0.36 i expected for KBr = 0.12(2) = 0.24 Higher the van’t Hoff factor, higher will be the boiling point. Hence, correct order of boiling points is KBr < BaCl2 < K2SO4.

    • 1.86oC
    • 1.86oC
  1. 0oC

    • 24.7oC
    • 24.7oC

Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Correct answer. 100.0 g of 45% mix: 45.0 g C2H2(OH)2 + 55.0 g H2O nglycol = 45.0 g / 62.0 g mol-1 = 0.73 mol mglycol = (0.73 mol / 0.055 kg) = 13.272 mol Kg-1 ΔTf = (1.86oC kg mol-1) x (13.272 mol Kg-1) = 24.7oC Freezing point = 0.00°C – 24.7°C = -24.7oC

What amount of KOH (in g) is required for making 120 mL of a 0.10 M solution of potassium hydroxide in water?

  1. 56.1 g

  2. 0.012 g

  3. 0.67 g

  4. 1.34 g

  5. 2.68 g


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Correct answer. The amount of KOH required is (0.120 L) × (0.10 mol L−1) = 0.012 mol. The molar mass of KOH is 56.1 g. So, the weight of KOH required = 0.012 mol × 56.1 gmol−1 = 0.67 g.

Calculate the vapour pressure of a 65 percent (W/W) solution of ordinary cane sugar (C22O11H22, MW = 342 g mol−1) in water. The vapour pressure of pure water at the same temperature is 26.0 torr.

  1. 16.9 torr

  2. 26.0 torr

  3. 23.7 torr

  4. 34.2 torr

  5. 52.0 torr


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Correct answer. 100 g of solution contains 65/342 = 0.19 mol of sugar and 36/18 = 2 mol of water  The mole fraction of water in the solution = 2 / (0.19 + 2) = 0.91 So, its vapour pressure will be 0.91 × 26.0 torr = 23.7 torr

  3. 21.9 mol L-1

  4. 29.2 mol L-1

  5. 36.5 mol L-1


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Correct answer.

Number of moles of ethanol in 670.3 g = 670.3 g/ 46 g mol-1 = 14.6 mol Molarity = Number of moles of solute / Volume of solution (in L) = 14.6 mol / 1 L = 14.6 mol L-1

Calculate the freezing point of depression of an antifreeze mixture made up by combining one volume of ethylene glycol (MW = 62, density 1.11 g cm−3) with three volumes of water.

  1. 1.86 K

  2. 3.72 K

  3. 8.1 K

  4. 16.2 K

  5. 32.4 K


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Correct answer. Assume that we use 1 L of ethylene glycol and 3 L of water. The mass of ethylene glycol will be 1.11 kg and that of water will be 3.0 kg. So, the total mass of the solution is 4.11 kg. Number of moles of ethylene glycol = 1110 g / 62 g mol-1 = 17.9 mol Molality of ethylene glycol = 17.9 mol / 4.11 Kg = 4.36 mol Kg-1 Freezing point depression ΔTf = Kf x molality of solution For water, Kf = 1.86 K kg−1 mol ΔTf= (1.86 K kg−1 mol) x (4.36 mol Kg-1) = 8.1 K

Which of the following mixtures will show negative deviation from Raoult’s law?

  1. Acetone and formaldehyde

  2. Acetone and ethyl alcohol

  3. Acetaldehyde and formaldehyde

  4. Methane and acetaldehyde

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Correct answer. As bonding between two components (acetone and ethyl alcohol) is more than individuals due to H-bonding, this mixture will show negative deviation from Raoult’s law.
