Question 2.
At a particular temperature, the vapour pressure of two liquids A and B are 120 and 180 mm of Hg respectively. Two moles of A and 3 Moles of B are mixed to form an ideal solution. What is the vapour pressure for the solution?
Answer:
A = 120mm of Hg
B= 180 mm of Hg
χA = 2/5
χB =3/5
PA = P°A × χA
= 120 × 2/5 = 48 mm of Hg
PB = P°B × χB
= 180 × 3/5 = 108 mm of Hg
Ps = PA + PB
= 108 + 48 = 156 mm of Hg

V = 100 mL = 0.1L
Plus Two Chemistry Chapter Wise Questions and Answers Chapter 2 Solutions 2M Q4
= 20.53 atm

Question 5.
Osmotic pressure of 1M solution of NaCl is approximately double than that of 1M sugar solution. Why?
Answer:
Osmotic pressure is a colligative property and it depends on the number of solute particles present in the solution. In solution, each NaCl unit undergoes dissociation to form two particles (NaCl → Na+ + Cl) and hence osmotic pressure of 1M NaCl is twice that of 1M sugar solution. Sugar molecules does not undergo association or dissociation in solution.

Question 1.
A student was asked to define molality. Then he answered that it is the number of gram moles of the solute dissolved per litre of the solution.

  1. Is it correct?
  2. Can you help the student to define molality?
  3. Calculate the molality of a solution containing 20 g of NaOH in 250 g of H2O.

Kf for H2O = 1.86 K/m = 1.86 K kg-1 mol-1
Plus Two Chemistry Chapter Wise Questions and Answers Chapter 2 Solutions 3M Q6
i.e., ΔTf = T°f – Tf= 0.744 K
∴ Freezing point of the solution, Tf = T°f – ΔT

Question 9.
What type of deviation from Rauolt’s law is exhibited by a mixture of phenol and aniline? Explain with the help of graph.
Answer:
Negative deviation.
Plus Two Chemistry Chapter Wise Questions and Answers Chapter 2 Solutions 3M Q9
In this case the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between phenolic proton and lone pair on nitrogen atom of aniline is stronger than the respective intermolecular hydrogen bonding between similar molecules. Thus, escaping tendency of the particles decreases in solution and hence the liquid mixture shows negative deviation.

2. Negative deviation. Here chloroform molecule is able to form hydrogen bond with acetone molecule.
Plus Two Chemistry Chapter Wise Questions and Answers Chapter 2 Solutions 3M Q10
Thus escaping tendency of the particles decreases in solution and hence the liquid mixture shows negative deviation.

3. Benzoic acid undergoes association in solution.
2C6H5COOH \(\rightleftharpoons \) (C6H5COOH)2 Thus, the number of particles as well as colligative properties decreases. So molecular mass increases.

Question 11.
A solution is obtained by mixing 300 g of 25 % solution and 400 g of 40 % solution by mass. Calculate the mass percentage of the resulting solution.
Answer:
Mass of solute in 300 g of 25 % solution
\(\frac{300 \times 25}{100}\) = 75 g
Mass of solute in 400 g of 40 % solution
\(\frac{400 \times 40}{100}\) = 160 g
Total mass of solute = (75 + 160) g = 235 g
Total mass of solution = (300 + 400) g = 700 g
Mass % of solute in resulting solution = \(\frac{235 \times 100}{700}\) = 33.57%
Mass % of solvent (water) in resulting solution
= 100 – 33.57 = 66.43%

Question 14.
Why does gases always tend to be less solube in liquids as the temperature is raised?
Answer:
Dissolution of gases is exothermic process. It is because of the fact this process involves decrease of entropy (ΔS < 0). Thus, increase of temperature tends to push the equilibrium,
Gas + Solvent \(\rightleftharpoons \) Solution; ΔH = -ve
in the backward direction, thereby, supressing the dissolution.

  2. Study the graph. What phenomenon it denotes? Based on your observation predict the reason for the greater volatility of a mixture of carbon disulphide and acetone?

Plus Two Chemistry Chapter Wise Questions and Answers Chapter 2 Solutions 3M Q20

Answer:

  1. Raoult’slaw
  2. Positive deviation from Raoult’s law. In a solution formed by adding CS2 to acetone, the dipolar interactions between solute-solvent molecules are weaker than the respective interactions among the solute-solute and solvent-solvent molecules. Thus, the escaping tendency of the particles increases and the solution shows +ve deviation.

Question 22.
18 g of glucose is dissolved in 1kg of water in a beaker. At what temperature will water boil at 1.013 bar? (Kb for water is 0.52 K kg mol-1)
Answer:
Number of moles of glucose = 18/180 = 0.1 mol.
Mass of solvent = 1 kg.
Morality of glucose , m = \(\frac{n_{8}}{W_{A}}\)
= \(\frac{0.1 \mathrm{mol}}{1 \mathrm{kg}}\) = 0.1 mol/Kg
Elevation of boiling point ΔTb = Kb × m
= 0.52 K kg/mol × 0.1 mol/kg = 0.052 K
Since water boils at 373.15 K at 1.013 bar pressure, the boiling point of solution will be 373.15 K + 0.052 K = 373.202 K

Question 4.
Osmosis and osmotic pressure are two important terms related to solutions.

  1. Explain these terms.
  2. How will he determine the molar mass of a substance by this method?

Answer:
1. The phenomenon of the spontaneous flow of a solvent from a solution of lower concentration to higher concentration, separated by a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

The excess hydrostatic pressure that builds up when the solution is separated from the solvent by a semipermeable membrane is called osmotic pressure.

2. Osmotic pressure (p) is proportional to the molar concentration/molarity (C) of the solution at a given temperature (T K).
π = CRT, where R is the gas constant.
π = \(\frac{n_{\mathrm{B}}}{V}\) RT, where nB is the number of moles of the solute and V is the volume of the solution in litres.
π V = nBRT
π V = \(\frac{w_{B}}{M_{B}}\)RT, where WB is the mass of the solute and MB is the molar mass of the solute.
Or MB = \(\frac{\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{RT}}{\pi \mathrm{V}}\)
Osmotic pressure measurement is widely used to determine molar mass of proteins, polymers and other macro molecules.

Question 5.
The value of molecular mass determined by colligative property measurement is sometimes abnormal.

  1. Explain these abnormalities in the case of benzoic acid in benzene and KCl in water.
  2. What is van’t Hoff factor?

Answer:
1. This is caused by dissociation in the case of KCl and association in the case of acetic acid. KCl in aqueous solution undergoes dissociation as KCl → K+ + Cl
Molecules of ethanoic acid (acetic acid) dimerises in benzene due to hydrogen bonding. As a result of dimerisation the actual number of solute particles in solution is decreased. As colligative property decreases molecular mass increases.

The partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution. This is the commonly used law for expressing the solubility of gas in liquid.

  1. Name the law. Write its mathematical expression.
  2. What are the factors affecting the solubility of a gas in a liquid? Explain.

Answer:
1. Roult’s law.
For an ideal solution containing two volatile components A and B,
PA = P°A χA,
PB = P°B χB and
P[Total] = PA + PB = P°A χA + P°B χB

2. The factors affecting the solubility of a gas in a liquid:

  • Nature of the gas and the liquid – Each gas has a characteristic solubility in a particular liquid at a particular temperature and pressure.
  • Temperature – solubility of a gas in a liquid is an exothermic process. Hence according to Le Chatelier’s principle solubility of gases in liquids decreases with rise in temperature.
  • Pressure – According to Henry’s law, solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas.

Question 7.
Concentration of solution may be expressed in different ways.

  1. Mention any one of the concentration terms.
  2. What are colligative properties?
  3. Show that elevation in boiling point is a colligative property.

Answer:
1. Molarity – It is the number of moles of the solute present in one litre of the solution.

2. Colligative properties are those properties which depends only on the number of solute particles.

3. ΔTb = Kbm
= \(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{b}} \frac{\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{B}} \times 1000}{\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{A}}}\)
i.e., ΔTb α nB i.e., elevation of boiling point depends on number of moles of solute. Hence, it is a colligative property.
