Liquid textA and textB form an ideal solution. The vapour pressure of pure liquids textA and textB are 350 and 750text mm Hg respectively at the same temperature. If textx_textA and textx_textB are the mole fraction of textA and textB in solution while texty_textA and texty_textB are the mole fraction of textA and textB in vapour phase then:

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula P_textA = y_textA P_texttotal = x_textA P^0_textA P_textB = y_textB P_texttotal = x_textB P^0_textB Dividing both partial pressure formulations yields: fracy_textAy_textB = left(fracP^0_textAP^0_textB ight) cdot fracx_textAx_textB ### Core Logic Given pure saturation thresholds: P^0_textA = 350text mm Hg, quad P^0_textB = 750text mm Hg Comparing pure component volatility profiles: P^0_textA < P^0_textB implies fracP^0_textAP^0_textB < 1 Substituting this inequality into the ratio formula gives: fracy_textAy_textB < 1 cdot fracx_textAx_textB implies fracy_textAy_textB < fracx_textAx_textB ### Step 1: Rearranging Ratio Forms Inverting the inequality expression fields safely yields: fracx_textAx_textB > fracy_textAy_textB ### Pattern Recognition Konovalov's Rule Shortcut: The vapour phase is always enriched with the more volatile component. Since component textB has a higher pure vapour pressure (750 > 350), it will be preferentially enriched in the vapour phase, meaning y_textB/y_textA > x_textB/x_textA. Reversing the fractions directly matches option (3). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Solutions

Q41 jee_main_2025_03_april_morning Elevation in Boiling Point
2 moles each of ethylene glycol and glucose are dissolved in 500 g of water. The boiling point of the resulting solution is: (Given: Ebullioscopic constant of water =0.52text K kg mol^-1)
  • A. 379.2 K
  • B. 377.3 K
  • C. 375.3 K
  • D. 277.3 K

Solution

### Related Formula The net boiling point elevation for multiple non-volatile solutes is given by: Delta T_b = (i_1 m_1 + i_2 m_2) K_b ### Core Logic Both ethylene glycol and glucose are non-electrolytes, so their van 't Hoff factors are equal to unity (i_1 = i_2 = 1). textTotal moles of solute = 2 + 2 = 4text moles textMass of solvent (water) = 500text g = 0.5text kg textTotal molality (m) = frac4text mol0.5text kg = 8text mol/kg ### Step 1: Compute Elevation and Final Temperature Delta T_b = 8 times 0.52 = 4.16text K textBoiling point of solution = T_b^circ + Delta T_b = 373.15text K + 4.16text K = 377.31text K approx 377.3text K ### Pattern Recognition Shortcut: Since both are molecular non-dissociating solutes, simply \sum their moles (2 + 2 = 4). Diluting 4 moles in 0.5text kg gives an effective concentration of 8text m. Multiplying 8 times 0.52 gives a shift value of 4.16text K. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Solutions
Q32 jee_main_2025_04_april_evening Colligative Properties
Given below are two statements : Statement (I): Molal depression constant K_f is given by fracM_lRT_fDelta S_fus, where symbols have their usual meaning. Statement (II): K_f for benzene is less than the K_f for water. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
  • A. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
  • C. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  • D. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Solution

### Related Formula K_f = fracM_1 R T_f^2Delta H_fus = fracM_1 R T_fleft(fracDelta H_fusT_fright) = fracM_1 R T_fDelta S_fus ### Core Logic - **Statement I is correct:** Substituting Delta S_fus = fracDelta H_fusT_f directly matches the given structural relationship formula. - **Statement II is incorrect:** Standard cryoscopic constants are: - For Benzene: K_f approx 5.12 mathrm~^circ C cdot kg cdot mol^-1 - For Water: K_f approx 1.86 mathrm~^circ C cdot kg cdot mol^-1 Therefore, K_f for benzene is greater than that of water, making Statement II false. ### Pattern Recognition Keep numerical benchmarks for common solvent colligative constants (K_b, K_f for water and benzene) memorized. Benzene has a far lower enthalpy of fusion and a higher freezing point, resulting in a significantly elevated K_f value. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Solutions

(Nearest integer) Given: Molar mass of NaCl is 58.5mathrm~g~mol^-1 Molar mass of mathrmO_2 is 32mathrm~g~mol^-1
Numerical Answer. Answer: 1.9 to 2.1

Solution

### Related Formula textppm = fractextmass of solutetextmass of solution times 10^6 textMolality (m) = fractextmoles of solutetextmass of solvent in kg ### Core Logic 1. Consider 1000 mathrm~mL of seawater solution: textMass of solution = textVolume times textdensity = 1000 times 2 = 2000 mathrm~g textMass of NaCl = 6 text moles times 58.5 = 351 mathrm~g textMass of solvent (water) = 2000 - 351 = 1649 mathrm~g = 1.649 mathrm~kg 2. Compute the mass and moles of dissolved O_2 using the ppm value: textppm = 5.8 = fractextmass of O_22000 times 10^6 implies textmass of O_2 = 1.16 times 10^-2 mathrm~g textmoles of O_2 = frac1.16 times 10^-232 = 3.625 times 10^-4 text moles 3. Determine the molality (m) of oxygen: textmolality = frac3.625 times 10^-41.649 approx 2.19 times 10^-4 mathrm~m Matching the pattern mathbfx times 10^-4mathrmm, we get mathbfx approx 2.19. The nearest integer is **2**. ### Pattern Recognition For high concentration saline solutions, the mass of the solvent drops significantly below the total mass of the solution. Be careful to subtract the solute weight (351 mathrm~g) before computing molality. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Solutions

  • B. text(A) and (D) only
  • C. text(A) and (C) only
  • D. text(C) only

Solution

### Related Formula pi = c R T where pi is the osmotic pressure of the solution. ### Core Logic Given that c_1 > c_2, chamber 1 has a higher concentration of solute than chamber 2. Under normal conditions, solvent molecules spontaneously flow from lower concentration (chamber 2) to higher concentration (chamber 1) via osmosis. To achieve **reverse osmosis**, the solvent must flow in the opposite direction—from chamber 1 to chamber 2. This requires applying an external pressure on the higher concentration side (chamber 1) that exceeds its osmotic pressure pi. textCondition for Reverse Osmosis: p_1 > pi Cellophane and parchment paper both act as suitable semi-permeable membranes for this setup. Thus, statements (A) and (C) are correct. ### Pattern Recognition Reverse osmosis always requires external pressure applied on the concentrated solution side (c_texthigh) such that P_textapplied > pi. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Solutions
