Q 1 :

We have three aqueous solutions of NaCl labelled as ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ with concentration 0.1 M, 0.01 M and 0.001 M, respectively. The value of van’t Hoff factor (i) for these solutions will be in the order:                     [2024]

  • iA<iB<iC

     

  • iA<iC<iB

     

  • iA=iB=iC

     

  • iA>iB>iC

     

(1)

              Van't Hoff factor (i) is given by:

              i=Number of particles after dissociationNumber of particles before dissociation

             With dilution, degree of dissociation increases hence i increases with dilution. Hence i for A (0.1M NaCl), B (0.01M NaCl) and C (0.001M NaCl) is: iA<iB<iC

(i)  10-4M NaCl
(ii)  10-4M Urea
(iii)  10-3M NaCl

  • (ii) < (i) < (iii) < (iv)

i=2

Urea is non-electrolyte so, i=1.

Elevation in boiling point ΔTb=ikbm. So higher is concentration and more is i, more will be the boiling point.

Q 5 :

1.24 g of AX2 (molar mass 124 g mol-1) is dissolved in 1 kg of water to form a solution with boiling point of 100.0156°C, while 25.4 g of AY2 (molar mass 250 g mol-1) in 2 kg of water constitutes a solution with a boiling point of 100.0260°C.

Kb(H2O)=0.52 K kg mol-1

Which of the following is correct?                    [2025]

  • AX2 and AY2 (both) are completely unionised.

     

  • AX2 is fully ionised while AY2 is completely unionised.

     

  • AX2 and AY2 (both) are fully ionised.

     

  • AX2 is completely unionised while AY2 is fully ionised.

Moles of AX2(nAX2)=WAX2MAX2=1.24124mol=0.01 mol

Molality of AX2 solution (mAX2)=nAX2Wwater (in kg)=0.01 mol1 kg=0.01m

Elevation in boiling point of AX2 solution (ΔTb(AX2))=(100.0156-100)°C=iAX2mAX2kb

0.0156=iAX2×0.01×0.52

iAX2=0.01560.01×0.52=3

So, AX2 is completely ionized.  

Moles of AY2(nAY2)=WAY2MAY2=25.4250mol=0.1016 mol

Molality of AY2 solution (mAY2)=nAY2Wwater (in kg)=0.1016 mol2 kg=0.0508m

Elevation in boiling point of AY2 solution (ΔTb(AY2))=(100.026-100)°C=iAY2mAY2kb

0.026=iAY2×0.0508×0.52

iAY2=0.0260.0508×0.521

So, AY2 is completely unionized.
