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

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.

Ideal solution is a solution which obeys Raoult’s law over the entire range of concentration and temperature, i.e., for an ideal solution having two volatile components A and B.

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

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.

  • 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.
