Q 9 :

0.05M CuSO4 when treated with 0.01M K2Cr2O7 gives green colour solution of Cu2Cr2O7. The two solutions are separated as shown below:

[SPM: Semi Permeable Membrane]

Due to osmosis:                                                                                                                [2024]

  • Green colour formation observed on side X.

     

  • Molarity of K2Cr2O7 solution is lowered.

     

  • Green colour formation observed on side Y.

     

  • Molarity of CuSO4 solution is lowered.

     

(4)

Solute particles do not move across SPM, so reaction between K2Cr2O7 and CuSO4 does not occur and green colour formation does not occur in either chamber. Net movement of solvent is from hypotonic (side X) to hypertonic (side Y) solution. Hence molarity of CuSO4 solution decreases.

In water, carboxylic acids undergo dissociation, resulting in an increase in the number of particles, consequently contributing towards increasing the value of the colligative property.

In benzene, carboxylic acids undergo dimerisation, resulting in a decrease in the number of particles, consequently contributing towards decreasing the value of the colligative property.

Glucose does not dissociate or associate in water.

During osmosis, solvent moves from low concentration solution to high concentration solution, across a semipermeable membrane. For reverse osmosis, we need to apply a pressure greater than osmotic pressure, on solution of high concentration, so that solvent moves against natural flow of osmosis i.e. from high concentration (c1) to low concentration (c2).

Q 28 :

25 mL of an aqueous solution of KCl was found to required 20 mL of 1 M AgNO3 solution when titrated using K2CrO4 as an indicator. What is the depression in freezing point of KCl solution of the given concentration? (Nearest integer). (Given: Kf = 2.0 K kg mol-1)

Assume

(1) 100% ionization and

(2) density of the aqueous solution as 1 g mL-1                     [2023]



(3)

25 mL KCl v/s 20 mL of 1M AgNO3
