Answer
Correct option: A.
Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
Molecular weight of urea $(\ce{NH2CONH2})$
$= 14 + 2 + 12 + 16 + 14 + 2 = 60$
Number of moles $=\frac{\text{Weight}}{\text{Molecular weight}}=\frac{60}{60}=1$
$\text{m}=\frac{\text{No. of moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent in \ kg }}$
$=\frac{1\text{mol}}{1\text{kg}}$
$=1\text{m}$

Assertion: Molarity of a solution in liquid state changes with temperature.
Reason: The volume of a solution changes with change in temperature.
Answer
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but the reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
Explanation:
Molarity (M) represents the number of moles of the solute dissolved per litre of solution.
Since the volume of a liquid varies with changes in temperature, the volume of the solution would also change while the number of moles of solute present in it will remain the same (or unchanged). This, therefore, would affect the molarity of the solution.

Assertion: The pressure exerted by the vapour in equilibrium with a liquid at a given temperature is called its vapour pressure.
Reason: If a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent to give a solution, the vapour pressure of the solution is found to be greater than the vapour pressure of the pure solvent.
Answer
  1. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
Explanation:
The vapour pressure of solution is found to be lower than the vapour pressure of pure solvent. In the solution, the surface has both solute and solvent molecules, thereby the number of solvent molecules gets reduced at the surface, consequently, the number of solvent molecules escaping from the surface is correspondingly reduced and this results in the decrease in vapour pressure of the solvent

Reason: The relative lowering of vapour pressure of a solution containing a non-volatile solute is equal to the mole fraction of the solute in the solution.
Answer
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
Explanation:
On adding a non-volatile solute in a liquid, the vapour pressure decreases because some molecules of the solvent on the surface are replaced by the molecules of the solute.

Assertion: Elevation in baiting point and depression in freezing point are colligative properties.
Reason: All colligative properties are used for the calculation of molecular masses.
Answer
  1. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
Explanation:
Elevation in boiling point and depression in freezing point are colligative properties because they depend only on the number of solute particles in a solution irrespective of their nature. But all colligative properties are not used for mass determination for every substance, as some give very low precision, or require excessive heating or cooling.

Assertion: Solutions show deviations from Raoult's law.
Reason: The cause for these deviations lies in the nature of interactions at the molecular level.
Answer
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
Explanation:
On mixing two dissimilar substances, their molecular environment changes. Suppose the two components that are mixed to form a non-ideal solution are A and B.
When A - B interactions < A - A or B - B interactions, there is a positive deviation from Raoult's law.
When A - B interaction > A - A or B - B interactions, there is a negative deviation from Raoult's law.

Assertion: The addition of ethylene glycol (non–volatile) to water lowers the freezing point of water hence used as antifreeze
Reason: Heat must be removed from the water to make it freeze.
Answer
  1. Assertion is a correct statement but the reason is a wrong statement.
Explanation:
Ethylene glycol is used as antifreeze, and it is a non-volatile substance that cannot evaporate into gas under certain conditions. If a substance is non-volatile then it has a high boiling point and low vapour pressure. Ethylene glycol is miscible in water in all proportions.

Assertion: When a concentrated solution is diluted by adding more water, the number of moles of solute in the solution remains unchanged.
Reason: Number of moles of a solute is equal to the product of molarity and volume of solution in litres.
  • ✓
    Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

    Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
  • D
    Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
Moles of solute are equal to product of molarity and volume $(i.e., \ce{Mol \ L}^{-1} \times \ce{L + Mol)}$ and when we add more solvent, the volume increases but the molarity decreases correspondingly so that their product i.e., the total number of moles remains constant.

Assertion: If more and more non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, the freezing point of the solution keeps on becoming higher and higher.
Reason: Presence of large amount of the solid solute allow the solution to freeze more rapidly.
Answer
  1. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Explanation:
The freezing point keeps on becoming lower and lower. Depression in freezing point is a colligative property as it depends on the number of particles of the solute present in solution, so solution will freeze more rapidly on adding large amount of non-volatile solute.

Assertion: Reverse osmosis is used in the desalination of sea water.
Reason: When pressure more than osmotic pressure is applied, pure water is squeezed out of the sea water through the membrane.
Answer
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

Assertion: Molecular mass of benzoic acid when determined by colligative properties is found high.
Reason: Dimerization of benzoic acid.
Answer
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but the reason is the correct explanation for assertion.
Explanation:
Colligative properties are the properties of solutions containing non-volatile solute. It is correct that the molecular mass of benzoic acid when determined by colligative properties is found abnormally high. This is because dimerisation of benzoic takes place in solution resulting in high molecular mass. Therefore, assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation.
