Question 13 Marks
  1. Urea forms an ideal solution in water. Determine the vapour pressure of anaqueous solution containing 10% by mass of urea at 40°C. (Vapour pressure of water at 40°C = 55.3 mm of Hg)
  2. Why is freezing point depression of 0.1 M sodium chloride solution nearly twice that of 0.1 M glucose solution?
Answer
  1. $\frac{\text{P}^{\circ}_{A}-\text{P}_{A}}{\text{P}^{\circ}_{A}}=\frac{\text{Moles of Solvent}}{\text{Moles solute + Moles of solvent}}$

$\text{P}^{\circ}_{\text{A}}=55.3\text{ mm of Hg, P}_{\text{A}}=?$

Mass of Solvent = (100 - 10)g = 90g,

No. of Moles of solvent =$\frac{\text{90g}}{\text{18g mol}^{-1}}=\text{5 mol} $

No. of Moles of solute$\frac{\text{10}}{\text{60}}=\frac{\text{1}}{\text{6}}\text{ mol}$

$\frac{\text{55.3 - P}_{A}}{\text{55.3}}=\frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{6}+5}=\frac{\text{1}}{\text{31}}$

$\text{P}_{A}\text{=53.52 mm Hg}.$

Question 23 Marks
Calculate the boiling point of solution when 4 g of MgSO4 (M = 120 g mol-1) was dissolved in 100 g of water, assuming MgSO4 undergoes complete ionization.
(Kb for water=0.52 K kg mol-1).
Answer
$\Delta\text{T}_{b} = \text{iK}_{b}.\text{m}$

i=2

$ = \text{i}\times\text{K}_{b}\times\frac{\text{w}_{2}\times1000}{\text{M}\times\text{W}_{1}}$

$ =2\times0.52\text{ K }\text{ Kg }\text{mol}^{-1}\times\frac{4\text{ g }\times1000\text{ g }/\text{kg}}{120\text{ g/mol}\times100\text{ g}} $

$ = \frac{2\times0.52}{3}$

= 0.346 K

Boiling point of water = 373.15 K / 373 K

Tb = Tbo + ΔTb

= 373.15 K + 0.346 K / 373 K + 0.346 K

= 373.496 K / 373.346 K.

Question 33 Marks
Vapour pressure of water at 20oC is 17.5 mm Hg. Calculate the vapour pressure of water at 20 oC when 15 g of glucose (Molar mass =180 g mol-1) is dissolved in 150 g of water.
Answer
$\text{P}^{o}_{A}=\text{17.5 mm of Hg}$     $\text{W}_{B}=\text{15g}$    $\text{M}_{B}=\text{180g/mol}$

$\text{W}_{A}=\text{150g}$    $\text{P}_{s}=\text{?}$

$\frac{\text{P}^{o}_{A}-\text{Ps}}{\text{P}^{o}_{A}}$ $=\frac{\text{W}_{B}\times\text{M}_{A}}{\text{M}_{B}\times\text{W}_{A}}$ $\therefore\frac{\text{P}^{o}_{A}-\text{P}_{S}}{\text{P}^{o}_{A}}=\frac{\text{15}\times\text{18}}{\text{180}\times\text{150}}=0.01$

$\frac{\text{P}^{o}_{A}-\text{P}_{S}}{\text{P}^{o}_{A}}=\frac{\text{17.5}\times\text{P}_{s}}{\text{17.5}}=0.01$

$\therefore\text{P}_{s}=\text{17.325 mm of Hg}$

Answer
$\Delta\text{T}_{\text{f}}=\text{K}_{\text{f}}\text{m}$

$\text{K}_{\text{f}}=\frac{\Delta\text{T}_{f}}{\text{m}}=\frac{2.15\text{k}}{0.1539\text{m}}=13.97\text{K kg mol}^{-1}$

No. of moles of glucose = $\frac{5}{180}\text{moles}$

Molality of glucose = $\frac{5}{180}\times\frac{1000}{95}=0.292\text{ m}$

$\Delta\text{T}_{f}=\text{K}_{f}\text{M}$

= 13.97 K kg mol-1 x 0.292 mol kg-1 

= 4.07 K

Freezing point of solution = (273.15 - 4.07)K = 269.08 K.

Question 133 Marks
Calculate the amount of KCl which must be added to 1 kg of water so that the freezing point is depressed by 2K. (Kf for water = 1.86 K kg mol–1).
Answer
Since one mole of KCl gives 2 mole particles, the value of 

i = 2

$\Delta\text{T}_{f} = 2 K$

Kf = 1.86 kg mol-1

Applying equation $\Delta$Tf = iKfm

$\text{m}=\frac{\Delta\text{T}_{f}}{\text{iK}_{f}}=\frac{2}{2\times1.86}=\text{0.54 mol kg}^{-1}.$

Therefore, 0.54 mole of KCl should be added to one kg of water.

Alternate answer

Since one mole of KCl gives 2 mole particles, the value of

i = 2

$\Delta\text{T}_{f} = 2 K$

Kf = 1.86 kg mol-1

Applying equation $\Delta$Tf = iKfm

$\text{m}=\frac{\Delta\text{T}_{f}}{\text{iK}_{f}}=\frac{2}{2\times1.86}=\text{0.54 mol kg}^{-1}.$

Therefore, 0.54 mole of KCl should be added to one kg of water.

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5 g

Amount of KCl = 0.54 X 74.5g = 40.05g.

Question 173 Marks
An antifreeze solution is prepared from 222.6g of ethylene glycol (C2H4(OH)2) and 200g of water. Calculate the molality of the solution. If the density of this solution be 1.072g mL-1, what will be the molarity of the solution?
Answer
Molar mass of ethylene glycol= 62g mol-1

Number of moles of ethylene glycol= $\frac{\text{222.6g}}{\text{62g mol}^{-1}}=\text{3.59 mol}$

Molality of the solution=$\frac{\text{222.6g}}{\text{62g mol}^{-1}}\times\frac{\text{1000}}{\text{200kg}}=\text{17.95m or 17.95 mol kg}^{-1}$

Mass of solution= $\text{200g}+\text{222.6g}=\text{422.6g}$

Volume= $\frac{\text{Mass of solution}}{\text{Density}}=\frac{\text{422.6g}}{\text{1.072gL}^{-1}}=\text{394.2 mL or 0.3942 L}$

Molarity= $\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}=\frac{\text{3.59 mol}}{\text{0.349 L}}=\text{9.10M or 9.1 mol L}^{-1}$

Question 183 Marks
  1. Why is the vapour pressure of a solution of glucose in water lower than that of water?
  2. A 6.90 M solution of KOH in water contains 30% by mass of KOH. Calculate the density of the KOH solution.

[Molar mass of KOH=56 g mol-1].

Answer
  1. Glucose is a nonvolatile, so it decreases the vapour pressure of solution/the number of solvent molecules escaping from the surface is reduced resulting in the decrease of vapour pressure of the solvent.
  2. Let the density of solution be = d g cm-3

Volume of solution = 1L =  1000 cm3

Mass of solution = (1000 d) g

6.90 M solution means 1 L solution contains 6.90 moles of KOH.

Mass of KOH $=\text{6.90}\times\text{56}=\text{386.4 g}$

But only 30% of the solution by mass is KOH

$\frac{\text{30}}{\text{100}}\text{cm}^{3}\times\text{(1000 d)}=\text{386.4g}$

d = 1.288g cm-3.

Alternate Answer

Strength = molarity $\times$  mol mass

$=\text{6.9}\times\text{56}=\text{386.4g/L}$

30g of solute is present in 100g of solution

1g is present in  $=\frac{\text{100}}{\text{30g}}\text{g}\text{ of solution}$

$\therefore\text{ 386.4g of solute is present in}=\frac{\text{100g}\times\text{386.4g}}{\text{30 g}}=\text{1288 g of solution}$

$\therefore\text{ Density}=\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}=\frac{\text{1288g}}{\text{1000 cm}^{3}}=\text{1.288g/cm}^{3}.$

Alternate answer

$\text{M}=\frac{\text{%}\times\text{d}\times\text{10}}{\text{M}_{B}}$

$6.9=\frac{\text{30}\times\text{d}\times\text{10}}{\text{56}}$

$\text{d}=\frac{\text{6.9}\times\text{56}}{\text{30}\times\text{10}}=\text{1.288g/cm}^{3}.$

Question 193 Marks
Give reasons for the following:
  1. Measurement of osmotic pressure method is preferred for the determination of molar masses of macromolecules such as proteins and polymers.
  2. Aquatic animals are more comfortable in cold water than in warm water.
  3. Elevation of boiling point of 1M KCl solution is nearly double than that of 1M sugar solution.
Answer
  1. Measurement of the osmotic pressure method is preferred for the determination of molar masses of macromolecules such as proteins and polymers because,
  • At room temperature, osmotic pressure can be measured, while other colligative properties need high temperature or low temperature conditions.
  • They are generally not stable at higher temperatures.
  1. In water, oxygen is present in the dissolved state.

The solubility of oxygen increases with a decrease of temperature. It is due to this reason that aquatic species are more comfortable in cold waters rather than in warm waters.

  1. KCl dissociates into K+ and Cl-, i.e. i = 2; whereas sugar does not dissociate to give ions.

Elevation in the boiling point is directly proportional to the ‘i’ value. So, the elevation in boiling point of 1M KCl solution is nearly double that of 1M sugar solution.

Calculate the mass of ascorbic acid (Molar mass = 176g mol-1) to be dissolved in 75g of acetic acid, to lower its freezing point by 1·5°C. (Kf = 3.9K kg mol-1)
Answer
Mass of acetic acid, w1 = 75g Molar mass of ascorbic acid (C6H8O6).
M2 = 6 × 12 + 8 × 1 + 6 × 16
= 176g mol-1
Lowering of melting point, $\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}=1.5\text{K}$
We know that,
$\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}=\frac{\text{K}_\text{b}\times1000\times\omega_2}{\text{M}_2\times\omega_\text{1}}$
$\omega_2=\frac{\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}\times\text{M}_2\times\omega_1}{\text{K}_\text{b}\times1000}$
$\omega_2=\frac{1.5\times176\times75}{3.9\times1000}$
$\omega_2=5.08\text{g}.$
Hence, 5.08g of ascorbic acid is needed to be dissolved.

Question 223 Marks
A 4% solution(w/ w) of sucrose (M = 342g mol-1) in water has a freezing point of 271.15K. Calculate the freezing point of 5% glucose (M = 180g mol-1) in water.
(Given: Freezing point of pure water = 273.15K)
Answer
4% solution (w/w) of sucrose means 4g of sucrose in 96g water.
$\text{W}_\text{solvent} = 96\text{g}, \text{w}_\text{solute}= 4\text{g}, \text{M}_\text{solute}= 342\text{g-}\text{mol}^{-1}$
Using the formula, $\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}=\text{K}_\text{f}\times\text{m}$
$\big(273.15-271.15)=\frac{4\times18\times100\text{k}_\text{f}}{96\times342}$
$\text{K}_\text{f}=16.39\text{K}$
For 5% solution (w/w) of sucrose means 5g of sucrose in 95g water,
$\text{W}_\text{solvent} = 95\text{g}, \text{w}_\text{solute}= 5\text{g}, \text{M}_\text{solute}= 180\text{g-}\text{mol}^{-1}$
Using the formula, $\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}=\text{K}_\text{f}\times\text{m}$
$\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}=\frac{5\times18\times100\times16.39}{95\times180}\text{K}$
$\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}=0.48\text{K}$
$\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}=\Delta\text{T}_{\text{f}^0}-\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}$
$\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}=(273.15-0.48)\text{K}$

Question 253 Marks
At 300K, 36g of glucose, C6H12O6 present per litre in its solution has an osmotic pressure of 4.98 bar. If the osmotic pressure of another glucose solution is 1.52 bar at the same temperature, calculate the concentration of the other solution.
Answer
$\pi=\frac{\text{W}_{\text{B}}\times\text{R}\times{T}}{\text{M}_{\text{B}}\times\text{V}}=\text{CRT}$

$4.98=\frac{36\times\text{R}\times300}{180\times1}=60\text{R}\ \dots(\text{i})$

$1.52=\text{C}\times\text{R}\times300=300\text{CR}\ \dots(\text{ii})$

Dividing equation (ii) by (i), we get

$\frac{300\text{ CR}}{60\text{ R}}=\frac{1.52}{4.98}$

$\text{C}=0.061\text{M}$

Question 263 Marks
A 5% solution (by mass) of cane sugar in water has freezing point of 271K. Calculate the freezing point of 5% glucose in water if freezing point of pure water is 273.15 K.
Answer
Mass of sugar in 5% (by mass) solution means 5gin 100g of solvent (water)

Molar mass of sugar = 342 g mol-1

$\text{Molality of sugar solution}=\frac{5\times1000}{342\times100}=0.146$

$\therefore\ \Delta\text{T}_\text{f}$ for sugar solution = 273.15 - 271 = 2.15°

$\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}=\text{K}_\text{f}\times\text{m}$

$\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}=\text{K}_\text{f}\times0.146\Rightarrow\text{K}_\text{f}=2.15/0.146$

Molality of glucose solution

$=\frac{5}{180}\times\frac{1000}{100}=0.278$

(Molar mass of glucose = 180 g mol-1)

$\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}=\text{K}_\text{f}\times\text{m}=\frac{2.15}{0.146}\times0.278=4.09^\circ$

$\therefore$ Freezing point of glucose solution

= 273.15 - 4·09 = 269.06 K.

Question 273 Marks
Two elements A and B form compounds having formula AB2 and AB4. When dissolved in 20 g of benzene (C6H6), 1 g of AB2 lowers the freezing point by 2.3 K whereas 1.0 g of AB4 lowers it by 1.3 K. The molar depression constant for benzene is 5.1 K kg mol–1. Calculate atomic masses of A and B.
Answer
$\text{Using the relation},\text{ M}_2=\frac{1000\times\text{k}_\text{f}\times\text{w}_2}{\text{w}_1\times\Delta\text{T}_\text{f}}$

$\therefore\ \text{M}_{\text{AB}_2}=\frac{1000\times5.1\times1}{20\times2.3}=110.87\text{ g mol}^{-1}$

$\text{M}_{\text{AB}_4}=\frac{1000\times5.1\times1}{20\times1.3}=196.15\text{ g mol}^{-1}$

Let the atomic masses of A and B are 'p' and 'q' respectively.

Then molar mass of

AB= p + 2q = 110.87 g mol-1 .... (i)

And molar mass of

AB4 = p + 4q = 196.15 g mol-1 .... (ii)

Substracting equation (ii) from equation(i), we

get 2q = 85.28 ⇒ q = 42.64

Putting q = 42.64 in equ. (i), we get

p = 110.87 - 85.28

p = 25.59

Thus, atomic mass of A = 25.59 g mol-1 and atomic mass of B = 42.64 g mol-1

Question 283 Marks
Henry’s law constant for CO2 in water is 1.67 x 108 Pa at 298 K. Calculate the quantity of CO2 in 500 mL of soda water when packed under 2.5 atm CO2 pressure at 298 K.
Answer
It is given that:

KH = 1.67 × 108 Pa

$\text{P}_{\text{CO}_2}=2.5\text{ atm}=2.5\times1.01325\times10^5\text{ Pa}$

$\text{P}_{\text{CO}_2}=2.533125\times10^5\text{ Pa}$

According to Henry’s law:

$\text{P}_{\text{CO}_2}=\text{K}_{\text{H}}\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\frac{\text{P}_{\text{CO}_2}}{\text{K}_{\text{H}}}$

$=\frac{2.533125\times10^5}{1.67\times10^8}$

= 0.00152

We can write,

$\text{x}=\frac{\text{n}_{\text{CO}_2}}{\text{n}_{\text{CO}_2+\text{n}_{\text{H}_2\text{O}}}}\approx\frac{\text{n}_{\text{CO}_2}}{\text{n}_{\text{H}_2\text{O}}}$

$\text{n}_{\text{CO}_2}$ is negligible as compared to $\text{n}_{\text{H}_2\text{O}}$ [Since, ]

In 500 mL of soda water, the volume of water = 500 mL

[Neglecting the amount of soda present]

We can write:

500 mL of water = 500 g of water

$=\frac{500}{18}\text{ mol of water}$

= 27.78 mol of water

Now,

$\frac{\text{n}_{\text{CO}_2}}{\text{n}_{\text{H}_2\text{O}}}=\text{x}$

$\frac{\text{n}_{\text{CO}_2}}{27.78}=0.00152$

$\text{n}_{\text{CO}_2}=0.042\text{ mol}$

Hence, quantity of CO2 in 500 mL of soda water = (0.042 × 44)g

= 1.848 g

Calculate the mass percentage of benzene (C6H6) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) if 22 g of benzene is dissolved in 122 g of carbon tetrachloride.
Answer
$=\frac{\text{Mass of C}_6\text{H}_6}{\text{Total mass of the solution}}\times100\%$

Mass percentage of C6H6

$=\frac{\text{Mass of C}_6\text{H}_6}{\text{Mass of C}_6\text{H}_6 +\text{ Mass of CCl}_4}\times100\%$

$=\frac{22}{22+122}\times100\%$

$=15.28\%$

$=\frac{\text{Mass of CCl}_4}{\text{Total mass of the solution}}\times100\%$

Mass percentage of CCl4

$=\frac{\text{Mass of CCl}_4}{\text{Mass of C}_6\text{H}_6 +\text{ Mass of CCl}_4}\times100\%$

$=\frac{122}{22+122}\times100\%$

$=84.72\%$

Alternatively,

Mass percentage of CCl4 = (100 - 15.28)% = 84.72%

The vapour pressure of pure liquids A and B are 450 and 700 mm Hg respectively, at 350 K . Find out the composition of the liquid mixture if total vapour pressure is 600 mm Hg. Also find the composition of the vapour phase.
Answer
$\text{P}_{\text{A}^{\circ}}=450\text{ mm}, \text{P}_{\text{B}^\circ}=700\text{ mm}, \text{P}_{\text{total}}=600\text{ mm}$

$\text{As}, \ \ \ \text{P}_{\text{total}}=\text{P}_{\text{A}}+\text{P}_{\text{B}}$

$=\text{x}_{\text{A}}\text{P}_{\text{A}^\circ}+\text{x}_{\text{B}}\text{P}_{\text{B}^\circ}$

(from Raoult's law)

$=\text{x}_{\text{A}}\text{P}_{\text{A}^\circ}+(1-\text{x}_{\text{A}})\text{P}_{\text{B}^\circ}$

$=\text{P}_{\text{B}^\circ}+(\text{P}_{\text{A}^\circ}-\text{P}_{\text{B}^\circ})\text{x}_{\text{A}}$

$\Rightarrow\ 600=700+(450-700)\text{x}_{\text{A}}$

$\text{or}\ \ \ \text{x}_{\text{A}}=0.40$

$\therefore\ \text{x}_{\text{B}}=1-\text{x}_{\text{A}}=1-0.40=0.60$

$\therefore\ \text{P}_{\text{A}}=\text{x}_{\text{A}}\text{P}_{\text{A}^\circ}=0.40\times450=180\text{ mm}$

$\therefore\ \text{P}_{\text{B}}=\text{x}_{\text{B}}\text{P}_{\text{B}^\circ}=0.60\times700=420\text{ mm}$

$\therefore$ Mole fraction of A in vapour phase

$=\frac{\text{P}_{\text{A}}}{\text{P}_{\text{A}}+\text{P}_{\text{B}}}=\frac{180}{180+420}=0.30$

and, Mole fraction of B in vapour phase

Question 313 Marks
Which aqueous solution has higher concentration-1 molar or 1 molal solution of the same solute? Give reason.
Answer
Here density determines the relative concentrations of the solutions.

Case I:

When density of solvent is 1g/ mL: In aqueous solution, density of water is normally taken as 1. This means that 1m solution has 1 mole of the solute dissolved in 1000g or 1000mL of the solvent. At the same time 1M solution contains 1 mole of the solute in 1000mL solution, which is the volume of both the solute and solvent present in the solution. This clearly shows that the solvent present in 1M solution is less as compared to 1m solution. Therefore, 1M solution is more concentrated than 1m solution.

Case II:

When density of the solvent is less than 1g/ mL: This means that the volume of solvent (mass/ density) will be more as compared to its mass. Thus, 1M solution will be less concentrated than 1m solution.

Case III:

When density of the solvent is more than 1g/ mL: This means that the volume of solvent will be less than its mass. Under these circumstances, 1M solution will be more concentrated than 1m solution.

total number of ion produced 3

therfore, i = 3

given that

w = 25, mg= 0.0259

T = 250C + 273 = 298 K

Also we know that

Question 333 Marks
Calculate the mass of a non-volatile solute (molar mass 40 g mol–1) which should be dissolved in 114 g octane to reduce its vapour pressure to 80%.
Answer
Ps = 80% of P0

$=\frac{80}{100}\text{ P}^\circ=0.8\text{ P}^\circ$

Let Wg of solute is present in mixture.

Moles of solute present $=\frac{\text{W}}{40}\text{ moles}$

Molar mass of octane, C8H18

= 8 x 12 + 18 = 114 gmol-1

$\therefore\ \text{Moles of octane}=\frac{114}{114}=1\text{ mol}$

$\text{Now},\ \frac{\text{P}^\circ-\text{P}_\text{s}}{\text{P}^\circ}=\text{x}_2=\frac{\frac{\text{W}}{40}}{\frac{\text{W}}{40}+1}$

$\frac{\text{P}^\circ-0.80\text{ P}^\circ}{\text{P}^\circ}=\frac{\frac{\text{W}}{40}}{\frac{\text{W}}{40}+1}$

$1-0.80=\frac{\text{W}\times40}{40(\text{W}+40)}=\frac{\text{W}}{\text{W}+40}$

$0.20=\frac{\text{W}}{\text{W}+40}$

0.2 W + 8 = W

8 = W(l - 0.2)

8 = 0.8 W

$\therefore\ \text{W}=\frac{8}{0.8}=10g.$

Question 353 Marks
An antifreeze solution is prepared from 222.6 g of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and 200 g of water. Calculate the molality of the solution. If the density of the solution is 1.072 g mL–1, then what shall be the molarity of the solution?
Answer
Molar mass of ethylene glycol [C2H4(OH)2] = 2 × 12 + 6 × 1 + 2 × 16

= 62 g mol-1

Number of moles of ethylene glycol $\frac{222.6\text{ g}}{62\text{ g mol}^{-1}}$

= 3.59 mol

Therefore, molality of the solution $=\frac{3.59\text{ mol}}{0.200\text{ kg}}$

= 17.95 m

Total mass of the solution = (222.6 + 200) g

= 422.6 g

Given,

Density of the solution = 1.072 g mL-1

Therefore, Volume of the solution $=\frac{422.6\text{ g}}{1.072\text{ g mL}^{-1}}$

= 394.22 mL

= 0.3942 × 10-3 L

Molarity of the solution$=\frac{3.59\text{ mol}}{0.39422\times10^{-3}\text{ L}}$

Question 363 Marks
Heptane and Octane form an ideal solution. At 373 K, the vapour pressures of the two liquid components are 105.2 kPa and 46.8 kPa respectively. What will be the vapour pressure of a mixture of 26.0 g of heptane and 35 g of octane?
Answer
Molar mass of heptane (C7H16)

= 7 x 12 + 16 = 100 g mol-1

Molar mass of octane (C8H18)

= 8 x 12 + 18 = 114 g mol-1

Moles of heptane present in mixture

$=\frac{26.0}{100}=0.26\text{ mol}$

Moles of octane present in mixture

$=\frac{35.0}{114}=0.307\text{ mol}$

Mole fraction of heptane xH

$=\frac{0.26}{0.26+0.307}=0.458$

Mole fraction ofoctane, x0 = (l - 0.458) = 0.542

Vapour pressure of heptane = xH x P°

= 0.458 x 105.2 KPa = 48.18 kPa

Vapour pressure of octane = xx P°

= 0.542 x 46.8 kPa = 25.36 kPa

Vapour pressure of mixture

= 48.18 + 25.36 = 73.54 kPa.

Question 373 Marks
Calculate the boiling point of a 1M aqueous solution (density 1.04g mL-1) of potassium chloride (Kb for water = 0.52K kg mol-1, Atomic masses: K = 39u, Cl = 35.5u) Assume, potassium chloride is completely dissociated in solution.
Answer
Mass of solution = Density of solution × Volume of solution

= 1.04g mL-1 × 1000mL = 1040g

Molar mass of solute KCl, MB = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g mol-1

$\therefore$ Mass of solvent water, WA = 1040g - 74.5g = 965.5g

As KCl dissociates (KCl → K+ + Cl-) completely, $\text{i}=\frac{2}{1}=2$

For water, Kb = 0.52K kg mol-1, WB = 74.5g

Substituting these values in the expression $\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}=\frac{\text{i}\times\text{K}_\text{b}\times\text{W}_\text{B}\times1000}{\text{M}_\text{B}\times\text{W}_\text{A}}$

$\Delta \text{T}_\text{b}=\frac{2\times0.52\text{K kg mol}^{-1}\times74.5\text{g}\times1000\text{g kg}^{-1}}{74.5\text{g mol}^{-1}\times965.5\text{g}}$

$=1.077\text{K}$

Boiling point of solution, $\text{T}_\text{b}=\text{T}_\text{b}^{0}-\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}$

$=373.15\text{K}+1.077\text{K}$

$=374.227\text{K}$

Question 383 Marks
State Raoult’s law for a solution containing volatile components. How does Raoult’s law become a special case of Henry’s law?
Answer
For a solution of volatile liquids, Raoult’s law states that the partial vapour pressure of each component of the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction present in solution, i.e.,

$\text{P}_\text{A}\propto\text{x}_\text{A},\ \text{or }\text{P}_{\text{A}}=\text{P}_\text{A}^0\text{x}_\text{A}$

According to Henry’s law, the partial pressure of a gas in vapour phase (p) is directly proportional to mole fraction (x) of the gas in the solution.

p = KHx

On comparing it with Raoult’s law it can be seen that partial pressure of the volatile component or gas is directly proportional to its mole fraction in solution, only the proportionality constant KH differs from $\text{P}_\text{A}^0,$

$\text{p}_\text{A}\propto\text{x}$

Thus, it becomes a special case of Henry's law in which $\text{K}_\text{H}=\text{P}^0_\text{A}.$

How does sprinkling of salt help in clearing the snow covered roads in hilly areas? Explain the phenomenon involved in the process.
Answer
The phenomenon involved in clearing the snow-covered roads in hilly areas is 'Depression in freezing point of water when a non volatile solute is dissolves in it'. Thus when salt is spread over snow covered roads, snow starts melting from the surface because of the depression in freezing point of water and it helps in clearing the roads.

Answer
Molar Mass of C19H12NO3

= 19 x 12 + 21 x 1 + 14 + 48

= 228 + 21 + 14 + 48

= 311 gmol-1

$\text{Molality (m)}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}/\text{molarmass}}{\text{Mass of solvant in kg}}$

$1.5=\frac{\text{Mass of solute/311}}{11}$

$\text{or}\ \ 1.5=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{311}$

or Mass of solute = 1.5 × 10-3 × 311

= 0.4665 g

Mass of total solution = 1000 g + 0.467 g = 1000.467 g

To convert 1.5 g of nalorphene in tog divide by 1000 we get

1.5 mg/ 1000 = 0.0015 g

Thus, 0.467 g mass of nalorphene contain

by = 1000.467 g solution

for 0.0015 g mass of nalorphene contain

by = 1000.467 × 0.0015/ 0.467

= 3.21 g.

Answer
It is given that the solubility of H2S in water at STP is 0.195m, i.e., 0.195 mol of H2S is dissolved in1000 g of water.

$=\frac{1000\text{g}}{18\text{g mol}^{-1}}$

= moles of water = 55.56 mol

$=\frac{\text{moles of H}_2\text{S}}{\text{moles of H}_2\text{S}+\text{ moles of water}}$

$=\frac{0.195}{0.195+55.56}=0.0035$

At STP pressure (P) = 0.987bar

According to henry's law p = kx

$\text{K}_\text{H}=\frac{\text{P}}{\text{x}}$

$=\frac{0.987}{0.0035}\text{ bar}$

Calculate the mass of urea (NH2CONH2) required in making 2.5 kg of 0.25 molal aqueous solution.
Answer
Molar mass of urea (NH2CONH2)

 = 2(1 × 14 + 2 × 1) + 1 × 12 + 1 × 16

= 60 g mol-1

0.25 molar aqueous solution of urea means:

1000 g of water contains 0.25 mol = (0.25 × 60) g of urea

= 15 g of urea

That is,

(1000 + 15) g of solution contains 15 g of urea

$=\frac{15\times2500}{1000+15}\text{ g}$

Therefore, 2.5 kg (2500 g) of solution contains 

= 36.95 g

Number of moles of liquid B, $\text{n}_\text{B}=\frac{1000}{180}\text{mol}$

= 5.556 mol

Then, mole fraction of A, $\text{x}_\text{A}=\frac{\text{n}_\text{A}}{\text{n}_\text{A}+\text{n}_\text{B}}$

$=\frac{0.714}{0.714+5.556}$

= 0.114

And, mole fraction of B, xB = 1 - 0.114

= 0.886

Vapour pressure of pure liquid B, $\text{P}^0_1=500\text{ torr}$

Therefore, vapour pressure of liquid B in the solution,

$\text{P}_\text{B}=\text{P}^0_\text{B}\text{x}_\text{B}$

= 500 × 0.886

= 443 torr

Total vapour pressure of the solution, ptotal = 475 torr

Therefore, Vapour pressure of liquid A in the solution,

$\text{P}_\text{A}=\text{P}_\text{total}-\text{P}_\text{B}$

= 475 - 443

= 32 torr

$\text{P}_\text{A}=\text{P}^0_\text{A}\text{x}_\text{A}$

$\text{Now,}\ \text{ P}^0_\text{A}=\frac{\text{P}_\text{A}}{\text{x}_\text{A}}$

$=\frac{32}{0.114}$

= 280.7 torr

Hence, the vapour pressure of pure liquid A is 280.7 torr.

Question 483 Marks
Define the term solution. How many types of solutions are formed? Write briefly about each type with an example.
Answer
Homogeneous mixtures of two or more than two components are known as solutions.

There are three types of solutions.

  1. Gaseous solution:

The solution in which the solvent is a gas is called a gaseous solution. In these solutions, the solute may be liquid, solid, or gas. For example, a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gas is a gaseous solution.

  1. Liquid solution:

The solution in which the solvent is a liquid is known as a liquid solution. The solute in these solutions may be gas, liquid, or solid. For example, a solution of ethanol in water is a liquid solution.

  1. Solid solution:

The solution in which the solvent is a solid is known as a solid solution. The solute may be gas, liquid or solid. For example, a solution of copper in gold is a solid solution.

Question 493 Marks
Determine the amount of CaCl2 (i = 2.47) dissolved in 2.5 litre of water such that its osmotic pressure is 0.75 atm at 27° C.
Answer
We know that,

$\pi=\text{i}\frac{\text{n}}{\text{V}}\text{RT}$

$\pi=\text{i}\frac{\text{w}}{\text{MV}}\text{RT}$

$\text{w}=\frac{\pi\text{MV}}{\text{iRT}}$

$\pi=0.75\text{ atm}$

V = 2.5 L

i = 2.47

T = (27 + 273)K = 300 K

Here,

R = 0.0821 L atm K-1mol-1

M = 1 × 40 + 2 × 35.5

= 111g mol-1

$\text{Therefore, w}=\frac{0.75\times111\times2.5}{2.47\times0.0821\times300}$

= 3.42 g

Hence, the required amount of CaCl2 is 3.42 g.

Question 503 Marks
How many mL of 0.1 M HCl are required to react completely with 1 g mixture of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 containing equimolar amounts of both?
Answer
Let the amount of Na2CO3 in the mixture be x g.

Then, the amount of NaHCO3 in the mixture is (1 - x) g.

Molar mass of Na2CO= 2 × 23 + 1 × 12 + 3 × 16

= 106 g mol−1

$\therefore\ \text{Number of moles Na}_2\text{CO}_3=\frac{\text{x}}{106}\text{mol}$

Molar mass of NaHCO= 1 × 23 + 1 × 1 × 12 + 3 × 16

= 84 g mol-1

Number of moles of $\text{NaHCO}_3=\frac{1-\text{x}}{84}\text{mol}$

According to the question,

$\frac{\text{x}}{106}=\frac{1-\text{x}}{84}$

⇒ 84x = 106 - 106x

⇒ 190x = 106

⇒ x = 0.5579

Therefore, number of moles of $\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3=\frac{0.5579}{106}\text{mol}$

= 0.0053 mol

And, number of moles of $\text{NaHCO}_3=\frac{1-0.5579}{84}$

= 0.0053 mol

HCl reacts with Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 according to the following equation.

$2\text{HCl}+\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3\rightarrow2\text{NaCl}+\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{CO}_2\\ \text{2 mol}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{1 mol}$

$\text{HCl}+\text{NaHCO}_3\rightarrow\text{NaCl}+\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{CO}_2\\ \text{1 mol}\ \ \ \ \text{1 mol}$

1 mol of Na2CO3 reacts with 2 mol of HCl.

Therefore, 0.0053 mol of Na2CO3 reacts with 2 × 0.0053 mol = 0.0106 mol.

Similarly, 1 mol of NaHCO3 reacts with 1 mol of HCl.

Therefore, 0.0053 mol of NaHCO3 reacts with 0.0053 mol of HCl.

Total moles of HCl required = (0.0106 + 0.0053) mol

= 0.0159 mol

In 0.1 M of HCl,

0.1 mol of HCl is preset in 1000 mL of the solution.

Therefore, 0.0159 mol of HCl is present in $\frac{1000\times0.0159}{0.1}\text{ mol}$

= 159 mL of the solution

Hence, 159 mL of 0.1 M of HCl is required to react completely with 1 g mixture of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3, containing equimolar amounts of both.
