### Related Formula Delta T_mathrmb = K_mathrmb cdot m = K_mathrmb cdot left( fracw_textsoluteM_textsolute cdot frac1000w_textsolvent right) ### Core Logic Both dissolved compounds are non-electrolytes (van 't Hoff factor i = 1). We calculate the molar masses of mathrmAB and mathrmAB_2 individually, then solve for the individual atomic masses of elements A and B. ### Step 1: Determine Molar Mass of AB Given Delta T_mathrmb = 2.7~mathrmK, w_textsolute = 1~mathrmg, w_textsolvent = 15~mathrmg, and K_mathrmb = 0.5~mathrmK~kg~mol^-1: 2.7 = 0.5 times frac1M_mathrmAB times frac100015 M_mathrmAB = frac0.5 times 100015 times 2.7 = frac50040.5 approx 12.3457~mathrmg~mol^-1 ### Step 2: Determine Molar Mass of AB_2 Given Delta T_mathrmb = 1.5~mathrmK, w_textsolute = 1~mathrmg, w_textsolvent = 15~mathrmg, and K_mathrmb = 0.5: 1.5 = 0.5 times frac1M_mathrmAB_2 times frac100015 M_mathrmAB_2 = frac0.5 times 100015 times 1.5 = frac50022.5 approx 22.2222~mathrmg~mol^-1 ### Step 3: Solve for Atomic Mass of A Let the atomic masses of elements A and B be a and b respectively: a + b = 12.3457 quad text--- (1) a + 2b = 22.2222 quad text--- (2) Subtracting equation (1) from (2): b = 22.2222 - 12.3457 = 9.8765~mathrmamu Substituting b back into equation (1): a = 12.3457 - 9.8765 = 2.4692~mathrmamu Expressing a in the requested format (times 10^-1): a = 24.692 times 10^-1 approx 25 times 10^-1 ### Pattern Recognition Mathematical consistency checks: Since mathrmAB_2 has more atoms than mathrmAB of identical constituent mass, its molar mass should be higher, leading to a smaller elevation of boiling point for the same mass dissolved, which perfectly matches our 2.7~mathrmK rightarrow 1.5~mathrmK change. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Solutions

Q37 jee_main_2025_02_april_evening Molarity and Temperature Dependency
'x' g of NaCl is added to water in a beaker with a lid. The temperature of the system is raised from 1^circmathrmC to 25^circmathrmC. Which out of the following plots, is best suited for the change in the molarity (M) of the solution with respect to temperature? [Consider the solubility of NaCl remains unchanged over the temperature range]
  • A. textPlot (1)
  • B. textPlot (2)
  • C. textPlot (3)
  • D. textPlot (4)

Solution

### Related Formula textMolarity (M) = fracn_textsoluteV_textsolution (mathrmL) ### Core Logic Since solubility of mathrmNaCl remains unchanged, the number of dissolved moles of mathrmNaCl solute (n_textsolute) remains strictly constant. Thus, molarity M is strictly dependent on the volume of water (solvent) as temperature changes: M propto frac1V_textsolution ### Step 1: Understand Water's Anomalous Expansion Water exhibits unique anomalous density behavior near freezing: - From 1^circmathrmC to 4^circmathrmC, the density of water **increases** to a maximum. This contraction means the volume (V) of water **decreases**. - From 4^circmathrmC to 25^circmathrmC, the density of water **decreases** due to standard thermal expansion. Consequently, the volume (V) **increases**. ### Step 2: Relate Volume to Molarity Because volume is in the denominator of the molarity equation: - From 1^circmathrmC to 4^circmathrmC: Volume decreases implies Molarity **increases**. - At 4^circmathrmC: Volume is minimum implies Molarity reaches a **maximum**. - From 4^circmathrmC to 25^circmathrmC: Volume increases implies Molarity **decreases**. This behavior is perfectly represented by **Plot (2)**, which features a distinct peak around 4^circmathrmC. ### Pattern Recognition Water is at its densest (and occupies minimum volume) at exactly 3.98^circmathrmC (4^circmathrmC). Any concentration unit based on volume (such as Molarity or Normality) will reach a corresponding maximum at this temperature. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Solutions
Q jee_main_2025_02_april_morning Henry's Law Constant and Temperature Dependance
Which of the following graph correctly represents the plots of mathrmK_H at 1 bar gases in water versus temperature?
  • A.
  • B.
  • C.
  • D.

Solution

### Related Formula Henry's Law formula connects partial pressure to solubility component: p = K_mathrmH cdot x ### Core Logic As temperature increases, gas dissolution is typically exothermic, meaning solubility initially drops, causing the Henry's constant K_mathrmH to curve upward dynamically before varying at extreme points. For standard non-reactive noble/molecular gases at regular ranges, the magnitude order follows: K_mathrmH(mathrmHe) > K_mathrmH(mathrmN_2) > K_mathrmH(mathrmCH_4) ### Step 1: Selection Graph (4) illustrates the correct relative order and curved profile properly across the given temperature frame. ### Pattern Recognition Higher K_mathrmH value implies lower solubility of that gas at a given pressure. Helium is notoriously insoluble in water compared to organic or polarizable molecules like methane, hence its plot line must live at the top. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Solutions
Q32 jee_main_2025_02_april_morning Raoult's Law and Vapour Pressure
A solution is made by mixing one mole of volatile liquid A with 3 moles of volatile liquid B. The vapour pressure of pure A is 200 mathrm~mmHg and that of the solution is 500 mathrm~mmHg. The vapour pressure of pure B and the least volatile component of the solution, respectively, are :
  • A. (1)\ 1400\ mathrmmmHg,\ textA
  • B. (2)\ 1400\ mathrmmmHg,\ textB
  • C. (3)\ 600\ mathrmmmHg,\ textB
  • D. (4)\ 600\ mathrmmmHg,\ textA

Solution

### Related Formula Raoult's Law for a multi-component solution mixtures: P_mathrmS = P_mathrmA^0 cdot X_mathrmA + P_mathrmB^0 cdot X_mathrmB ### Core Logic Let's determine the mole fractions first based on the input molar amounts: X_mathrmA = frac11+3 = frac14, quad X_mathrmB = frac31+3 = frac34 Substitute the known properties into Raoult's equation block: 500 = 200 times frac14 + P_mathrmB^0 times frac34 500 = 50 + P_mathrmB^0 times frac34 450 = P_mathrmB^0 times frac34 implies P_mathrmB^0 = 600 mathrm~mmHg Comparing pure state components pressures: P_mathrmA^0 = 200 mathrm~mmHg and P_mathrmB^0 = 600 mathrm~mmHg. Lower vapor pressure indicates stronger intermolecular cohesion, making A the least volatile component. ### Step 1: Finalization Thus, the vapour pressure of pure B is 600mathrm~mmHg and the least volatile chemical is A. ### Pattern Recognition Volatility is directly proportional to pure vapor pressure (P^0). Don't mix up 'least volatile' with 'lowest mole fraction'—always evaluate based solely on the isolated values of P^0. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Solutions
