Q.6
Explain the following with reasons
(i)
The concentrations in terms of molality is independent of the
temperature but morality depends upon temperature.
Ans. Molality is based on the mass of solvent. The mass of solvent does
not vary not vary with temperature, so molality is independent of
temperature. Morality is based on the volume of solution. Since the
volume of solution varies with temperature, so morality depends upon
temperature. The morality of the solution decreases with the increase in
temperature of the solution.
(ii)
The sum of the mole fractions of all the components is always
equal to unity for any solution.
Ans. Suppose there be two components A and B making a solution.
The numbers of moles are nA and nB respectively, then. If the mole
fractions of A and B are denoted by XA and XB respectively, then
XA =

(iii)

its density is 1.84 g cm-3.
Ans.

Hence, 100 g of 98 % H2SO4 has a volume of 54.34 cm-3 of
H2SO4 because its density is 1.84 g cm-3 .
(iv)
Relative lowering of vapour pressure is independent of the
temperature.

(v)
Colligative properties are obeyed when the solute is nonelectrolyte and also when the solutions are dilute.
Ans. Colligative properties are obeyed when the solute is nonelectrolyte
Colligative properties depend only upon the number of solute
particles and not on their chemical nature. An electrolyte solute differs
from a non-electrolyte principally in the number of particles produced
upon dissolution. In case the solute is non-electrolyte , one mole of solute
produces one mole of dissolved particles (molecules). In case the solute is
electrolyte, it may split into a number of ions each of which acts as a
particle and thus will affect the colligative properties of solution than
non-electrolytes. For example, one mole of glucose produces one mole of
dissolved particles (molecules) while one mole of NaC1 produces two
moles of dissolved particles (one mole each of Na+ and C1- ions). Thus,
mole for mole, the NaC1 exerts twice the colligative effect than glucose
if the solution is ideal.
Colligative properties are obeyed when the solutions are
dilute.
Colligative properties are obeyed when the solutions are dilute. A
dilute solution behaves almost as an ideal solution, i.e., the solute-solute
interactions are negligible. Concentrated solution is mostly non-ideal.
(vi)
The total volume of the solution by mixing 100 cm3 of
water with 100 cm3 of alcohol may not be equal to 200 cm3. Justify it.
7

ww

line

fre

e.c

om

Ans. Because the intermolecular forces of attraction between alcohol


and water molecules are not the same as the intermolecular attractive
forces between alcohol molecules or between water molecules. Hence,
the total volume of the solution by mixing 100 cm3 of alcohol with 100
cm3 of water will not be equal to 200 cm3. The total volume of solution
will be greater than 200 cm3 because the forces of attraction between
alcohol and water molecules are weaker than those between alcohol
molecules or between water molecules.
(vii)
One molal solution of urea in water is dilute as compared
to one molar solution of urea, but the number of particles of the solute is
the same. Justify it.
Ans. One molal solution of urea in water is dilute as compared to one
molar solution of urea. This is because a molal solution contains one
mole of urea in 1000 g of water whereas one molar solution contains one
mole of urea in 1000 cm3 of water.
At room temperature, density of water is slightly less than one.
Therefore, the volume corresponding to 1000 g of water be greater than
1000cm3. So, the volume of solvent water containing one mole of solute
is more in case of molal solution than molar solution. hence, one molal
solution of urea in water is dilute as compared to one molar solution of
urea in water. Since both the solutions contain 1 mole of urea as solute,
therefore , the number of particles of solute is the same in both the
solution.
(viii) Non-ideal solution do not obey the Raoults law.
Ans. They show deviations from Raoults law due to differences in
their molecular structures, i.e. , size , shape and intermolecular forces.
Formation of such solutions is accompanied by changes in volume and
enthalpy. The vapour pressure deviation may be positive or negative in
such solutions.

What are azeotropic mixtures? Explain them with the help
of graphs.
(b)
Explain the effect of temperature on phenol-water system.
Q10. (a)
What are collligative properties? Why are they called so?
Ans. Because the colligative properties of solution depend only upon
the number of solute and solvent particles present in the solution and not
upon the chemical nature of the solute molecules. For this reason these
properties are called colligative properties.
(b)
What is the physical significance of KB and kf values of
solvent?
Ans. Because the change in boiling point and the freezing point of a
solvent is a colligative property that depends only on the ratio of the
number of particles of solute an dissolvent in the solution, so these
constants are used to determine the molecular mass of an unknown
solute.
Q11. How to explain that the lowering of vapour pressure is a
colligative property?
How do we measure the molar mass of a non-volatile, nonelectrolyte solute in a volatile solvent?
Q12. How do you justify that?
(a)
Boiling points of the solvents increase due to the presence
of solutes.
Ans. The temperature of a pure liquid at which its vapour pressure
becomes equal to an external atmospheric pressure on its surface is
called boiling point of the liquid.
The addition of a non-volatile solute to a solvent always reduces
its vapour pressure below that of the pure solvent. This is because solute
particles occupy some of the surface area of the solution decreases the
rate of evaporation and thus reduces its pressure. So, a higher temperature
is needed to increase the vapour pressure to the point where the solution

boils. Hence, the boiling points of the solvents increase due to the
presence of solutes.
(b)

Freezing points are depressed due to the presence of

om

solutes.
Ans. The temperature f a pure liquid at which its solid and liquid are
froms coexist in equilibrium is called freezing point of the liquid.
When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, it reduces its
vapour pressure. If a solution is cooled sufficiently, the temperature at
which crystals of pure solvent appear is the freezing point of the solution.
At this temperature the solid solvent and solution are in equilibrium, so
they must have the same vapour pressure. But , at a definite temperature,
a solution containing a non-volatile solute has a lower vapour pressure
than the pure solvent. Therefore, solid solvent must be in equilibrium
with a solution at a lower temperature than the temperature that it would
be in equilibrium with pure solvent. Hence, freezing points are depressed
due to the presence of solutes.

(c)
The boiling point of one molal urea solution is 100 .52 o C
but the boiling of two molal urea solution is less than 101.04oC.
Ans. The boiling point of 1 molal urea solution is 100.52 oC at 1 atm
pressure rather than 100oC. Thus the elevation of boiling point is (100.52
100.00) =0.52oC. The boiling point of 2 molal urea solution is 101.04
o
C , so the elevation of boiling points is (101.04 100.00)= 1.04oC. Since
the boiling point elevation depends upon the number of particles of
solute, therefore, e molal urea solution which contains 2 x 6.02 x 10 23
molecules has double the boiling point elevation than 1 molal urea
solution which contains 6.02 x1023 molecules.
(d)
Beckmanns thermometer is use to note the depression in
freezing point.
Ans. Beckmanns thermometer is used to read temperatures up to,
0.01oC over a range of about 5oC. Since, freezing point depressions are
10

small , no more than a degree or two. Therefore, to measure a small
difference in temperature Beckmanns thermometer is used. It is more
sensitive than ordinary thermometer because one degree is further
divided into hundred divisions.

In summar the antifreeze solutions protect the radiator
from boiling over.
Ans. Water is used as a coolant in automobile radiation to decrease the
temperature of the working engine. Pure water boils at 100 oC. It is
observed that solutions boil at higher temperatures than do pure liquid.
So, an aqueous solution of antifreeze such as ethylene glycol is used in
place of pure water in radiators because it raises the boiling point of pure
water. Hence, in summer the antifreeze solution protects the liquid of the
radiator to boil over.
NaC1 and KNO3 are used to lower the melting point of

ww
w.a

llon

ice.
Ans. It is a common observation that the freezing point of solution is
always lower than the freezing point of the pure solvent. The lowering in
freezing point depends upon the number of solute particles (molecules/
ions).
A mixture of NaC1 and KNO3 salts is used as a freezing mixture
to lower melting points of ice. These salts dissociate in ice water. They
split up into a number of ions each of which as a particle due to which the
freezing point of water, i.e., the melting point of ice is lowered.

Second solution:

Density of dilute H2SO4 solution =1.25 g cm-3
It means that: 1 cm3 of H2SO4 has mass=1.25 g
1000 cm3 of H2SO4 has mass

Now, 100 g dilute H2SO4 solution contains pure H2SO4 =20g
1250 g of dilute H2SO4 solution contains pure H2SO4 = x1250 =250 g
