Q46 jee_main_2025_04_april_evening Concentration Terms

Sea water, which can be considered as a 6 molar (6 M) solution of NaCl, has a density of

2~g~mL⁻¹

. The concentration of dissolved oxygen

(O₂)

in sea water is

5.8~ppm

. Then the concentration of dissolved oxygen

(O₂)

in sea water, is

x \times 10⁻⁴m

.

x =

_______. (Nearest integer) Given: Molar mass of NaCl is

58.5~g~mol⁻¹

Molar mass of

O₂

is

32~g~mol⁻¹

Numerical Answer. Answer: 1.9 to 2.1

Solution

Related Formula

ppm = mass of solutemass of solution \times 10⁶

Molality (m) = moles of solutemass of solvent in kg

Core Logic

Consider $1000 ~mL$ $1000 \mathrm{~mL}$ of seawater solution:

Mass of solution = Volume \times density = 1000 \times 2 = 2000 ~g

Mass of NaCl = 6 moles \times 58.5 = 351 ~g

Mass of solvent (water) = 2000 - 351 = 1649 ~g = 1.649 ~kg

Compute the mass and moles of dissolved $O₂$ $O_2$ using the ppm value:

ppm = 5.8 = mass of O₂2000 \times 10⁶ mass of O₂ = 1.16 \times 10⁻² ~g

moles of O₂ = 1.16 \times 10⁻²32 = 3.625 \times 10⁻⁴ moles

Determine the molality ( $m$ $m$) of oxygen:

molality = 3.625 \times 10⁻⁴1.649 \approx 2.19 \times 10⁻⁴ ~m

Matching the pattern $x \times 10⁻⁴m$ $\mathbf{x} \times 10^{-4}\mathrm{m}$, we get $x \approx 2.19$ $\mathbf{x} \approx 2.19$. 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 ( $351 ~g$ $351 \mathrm{~g}$) before computing molality.

Q26 jee_main_2025_04_april_morning Reverse Osmosis

B. $(A) and (D) only$ $\text{(A) and (D) only}$
C. $(A) and (C) only$ $\text{(A) and (C) only}$
D. $(C) only$ $\text{(C) only}$

Solution

Related Formula

$π = c R T$ $\pi = c R T$

where $π$ $\pi$ is the osmotic pressure of the solution.

Core Logic

Given that $c₁ > c₂$ $c_1 > c_2$, 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 $π$ $\pi$.

Condition for Reverse Osmosis: p₁ > π

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 ( $chigh$ $c_{\text{high}}$) such that $Papplied > π$ $P_{\text{applied}} > \pi$.

Q34 jee_main_2025_07_april_evening Raoult's Law and Liquid-Vapour Composition

Liquid

A

and

B

form an ideal solution. The vapour pressure of pure liquids

A

and

B

are 350 and

750 mm Hg

respectively at the same temperature. If

xA

and

xB

are the mole fraction of

A

and

B

in solution while

yA

and

yB

are the mole fraction of

A

and

B

in vapour phase then:

A. $xAxB < yAyB$
B. $xAxB = yAyB$
C. $xAxB > yAyB$
D. $(xA - yA) < (xB - yB)$

Solution

Related Formula

PA = yA Ptotal = xA P⁰A

PB = yB Ptotal = xB P⁰B

Dividing both partial pressure formulations yields:

yAyB = ( P⁰AP⁰B) \cdot xAxB

Core Logic

Given pure saturation thresholds:

P⁰A = 350 mm Hg, P⁰B = 750 mm Hg

Comparing pure component volatility profiles:

P⁰A < P⁰B P⁰AP⁰B < 1

Substituting this inequality into the ratio formula gives:

yAyB < 1 \cdot xAxB yAyB < xAxB

Step 1: Rearranging Ratio Forms

Inverting the inequality expression fields safely yields:

xAxB > yAyB

Pattern Recognition

Konovalov's Rule Shortcut: The vapour phase is always enriched with the more volatile component. Since component $B$ $\text{B}$ has a higher pure vapour pressure ( $750 > 350$ $750 > 350$), it will be preferentially enriched in the vapour phase, meaning $yB/yA > xB/xA$ . Reversing the fractions directly matches option (3).
