it correct. Write the correct answer on the first page of your booklet.
1. A solution is homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
2. When nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide gases combine together they form a type of
solution called liquid solution.
3. The component of solution that is greater in quantity is the solvent.
4. When the solute of a solution is present in very small amount, the solution is classified as a
dilute solution.
5. Ionic compounds are soluble in non-polar solvents like water.
6. An increase in temperature increases the solubility for an endothermic process of solution.
7. The molality and molarity differ in their numerator.
8. As the size of a solute decreases the surface of the solute which comes in contact with the
solvent decreases.
9. As the molal concentration of a solution increases the freezing point decreases.
10. When a solute is added to a solvent, the vapor pressure of the solvent increases in proportion
to the concentration of the solute.

cell, it is hypertonic with the cells.
13. Two solutions are isotonic if they have identical osmotic pressures.
14. A solution that contains all the solute that can be dissolved at a particular temperature is a
saturated solution.
15. Chemical thermodynamics is the study of the energetics in a chemical reaction.
