Considering the formation, breaking and strength of hydrogen bond, predict which of the following mixtures will show a positive deviation from Raoult’s law?
  • Methanol and acetone.
  • B
    Chloroform and acetone.
  • C
    Nitric acid and water.
  • D

Answer
Correct option: A.
Methanol and acetone.
Mixture of Methanol and acetone shows positive deviation because methanol$-$methanol and acetone$-$acetone interactions are more than methanol-acetone. The more number of hydrogen bonds are broken the less number of new $H-$bonds are formed.

MCQ 1071 Mark
The vapour pressures of two liquids $A$ and $B$ in their pure states are in the ratio of $1 : 2.$ A binary solution of $A$ and $B$ contains $A$ and $B$ in the mole proportion of $1 : 2.$ The mole fraction of $A$ in the vapour phase of the solution will be:
  • A
    $0.33$
  • $0.2$
  • C
    $0.25$
  • D
    $0.52$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$0.2$
$\frac{\text{P}^\circ_\text{A}}{\text{P}^\circ_\text{B}}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{\text{X}_{\text{A}}}{\text{X}_{\text{B}}}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\text{P}_{\text{T}}\gamma_\text{A}=\text{P}^\circ_\text{A}\text{x}_\text{A}$
$\therefore\frac{\gamma_\text{A}}{\gamma_\text{B}}=\frac{\text{P}^\circ_\text{A}}{\text{P}^\circ_\text{B}}\frac{\text{X}_\text{A}}{\text{X}_\text{B}}$
We know $\gamma_\text{A}+\gamma_{\text{B}}=1$

    $\text{0.1 M NaCl}$ and $0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{\sim K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$
  • $0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{\sim Ba}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2$ and $0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{\sim Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$​
Answer
Correct option: D.
$0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{\sim Ba}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2$ and $0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{\sim Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$​
Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure and same molar concentration.
The solution of $0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{\sim Ba}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2$ and $0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{\sim Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$​ are isotonic.
The osmotic pressure of $0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{\sim Ba}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2$​
$= \text{iMRT} = 3 \times 0.1RT = 0.3RT$
Osmotic pressure of $0.1M \mathrm{\sim Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$
$= \text{iMRT} = 3 \times 0.1RT = 0.3RT$
The correct answer is "The solution of $0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{\sim Ba}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2$​ and $0.1M \mathrm{\sim Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ are isotonic".

MCQ 1111 Mark
Which one of the following electrolytes has the same value of van't Hoff's factor $(i)$ as that of $\mathrm{Al}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3 ($if all are $100\%$ ionised$)?$
  • A
    $ \mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_3 $
  • $ \mathrm{\sim K}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right] $
  • C
    $ \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 $
  • D
    $ \mathrm{\sim K}_3\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right] $
Answer
Correct option: B.
$ \mathrm{\sim K}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right] $
Van't Hoff factor $i = \frac{\text{number of solute particles present in solution}}{\text{theoretical number of solute particles due to solution of non electrolyte }}$
$=\frac{\text{n(observed)}}{\text{n(theoretical)}}.$
$1$ molecule of $\mathrm{Al}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3$​ ionizes in solution to produce $5$ ions.
$\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3\rightarrow2\text{Al}^{3+}+3\text{SO}^2_4$
Hence$, i =\frac{\text{n(observed)}}{\text{n(theoretical)}}=\frac{5}{1}=5.$
$1$ molecule of $\mathrm{K}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]$ ionize in solution to produce $5$ ions.
$\mathrm{K}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]$
$\rightarrow 4 \mathrm{\sim K}^{+}+\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{4-}$
Hence, i $=\frac{\text{n(observed)}}{\text{n(theoretical)}}=\frac{5}{1}=5.$
Thus, $\mathrm{K}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]$ has the same value of van't Hoff's factor $(i)$ as that of $\mathrm{Al}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3​​ ($assuming $100\%$ ionization$).$
Note$:\ 1$ molecule each of $\mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_3, \mathrm{\sim K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ and $\mathrm{K}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]$ ionizes in solution to produce $4, 3$ and $4$ ions respectively.

  • C
    $5 : 3 : 2$
  • D
    $2 : 3 : 5$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$3 : 2 : 5$
Lowering of vapour pressure is a colligative property. It depends on the number of particles of the solute.
$\text{BaCl}_2\rightleftharpoons\text{Ba}^{2+}+2\text{Cl}^−; 3$ ions
$\text{NaCl}\rightleftharpoons\text{Na}^++\text{Cl}^−; 2$ ions
$\text{Al}_2​(\text{SO}_4​)_3\rightleftharpoons2\text{Al}^{3+}+3\text{SO}^{3-}_4​; 5$ ions
Hence, the ratio of lowering of vapour pressure is $3 : 2 : 5$ since the concentration of the solutions are same.

The pressure at which liquid and vapour can coexist at equilibrium is called the :
  • Limiting vapour pressure
  • B
    Real vapour pressure
  • C
    Normal vapour pressure
  • D
    Saturated vapour pressure
Answer
Correct option: A.
Limiting vapour pressure
Ordinary evaporation is a surface phenomenon $-$ some molecules have enough kinetic energy to escape. If the container is closed, then an equilibrium is reached where an equal number of molecules return to the surface.
The pressure at which this equilibrium where the coexistence of liquid and vapour is achieved is called the saturated vapor pressure.
