The lowering in vapour pressure when a solute is addedA. Will depend upon the nature of the soluteB. Will be the same irrespective of the solvent takenC. Will be different when different solvent are takenD. Will depend on the form ideal solution

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C::D
Explanation : (a) `Delta P=oP_(A)^(@)x_(B)`
(a) Hence, `Delta F` depends upon i which is dependent on nature of solute (Hence, choice (a) is correct).
(c ) `Delta F` depends upon `P_(A)^(@)`. If `P_(A)^(@)` changes then `Delta F` changes. Hence when different solvents are taken `Delta F` value is different. Choice (c ) is also correct.
(d) Is also correct. `Delta F` changes with mole fraction of solute. `Delta F` also changes with temperature.
(b) Is wrong because `Delta F` depends upon solvent.

For a non-ideal solution with a-ve deviationA. `Delta H_(mix)=-ve`B. `Delta V_(mix)=-ve`C. `Delta S_(mix)=-ve`D. `Delta G_(mix)=-ve`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::D
Explanation : (a) For -ve deviation
`Delta H_(mix)` = -ve due to greater forces of attraction after mixing.
Statement (a) is correct.
`Delta V_(mix)` = -ve because volume of resulting solution decreases as particles come close together.
Statement (b) is correct
`Delta G_(mix)=-ve` because
`Delta G=Delta H-T Delta S=(-)Delta H-T(+Delta S)=-ve`
Hence, choice (d) is correct.
`Delta S_(mix) =+ve`, Entropy always increases on mixing.
Statement (c )is incorrect.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let volume of A = xL
Volume of B = (2-x)L
`because M_(1)V_(1)+M_(2)V_(2)=M(V_(1)+V_(2))`
`rArr 0.5x +0.1(2-x)=0.2(x+2-x)`
(`because` for HCl, 0.1 M HCl = 0.1 N HCl)
`rArr 0.5 x + 0.2 =0.4 rArr 0.4 x = 0.2`
`therefore x =(0.2)/(0.4)=0.5 L`
Since x = 0.5 L (vol. of A), then
2 - x = 2 - 0.5 = 1.5 L (Vol. of B).

At the same temperature, a new solution of A and B having mole fractions `x_(A)` and `x_(B)`, respectively, has vapour pressure of 22.5 Torr. The value of `X_(A)//x_(B)` in the new solution is _________ (Given that the vapour pressure of pure liquid A is 20 Torr at temperature T)

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`45=P_(A)^(@)xx(1)/(2)+P_(B)^(@)xx(1)/(2)`
`P_(A)^(@)+P_(B)^(@)=90` …..(1)
Given `P_(A)^(@)=200` torr
`P_(B)^(@)=70` torr
`rArr 22.5` torr `=20 x_(A)+70(1-x_(A))`
`=70-50x_(A)`
`x_(A)=((70-22.5)/(50))=0.95`
`x_(B)=0.05`
So `(x_(A))/(x_(B))=(0.95)/(0.05)=19` .
