Q1.

What weight of glucose must be dissolved in \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) of water to lower the vapour pressure by \(0.20 \mathrm{~mm} ~\mathrm{Hg}\) ?

(Assume dilute solution is being formed)

Given : Vapour pressure of pure water is \(54.2 \mathrm{~mm} ~\mathrm{Hg}\) at room temperature. Molar mass of glucose is \(180 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

  1. 3.69 g
  2. 2.59 g
  3. 3.59 g
  4. 4.69 g
The lowering of vapor pressure of a solvent by a nonvolatile solute is given by Raoult's law:

\(\Delta P = x_{\text{solute}} \cdot P_0\)

where \(\Delta P\) is the change in vapor pressure, \(x_{\text{solute}}\) is the mole fraction of the solute, and \(P_0\) is the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.

Rearranging the formula for \(x_{\text{solute}}\), we have:

\(x_{\text{solute}} = \frac{\Delta P}{P_0}\)

Substituting the given values, we get :

\(x_{\text{solute}} = \frac{0.20 \, \text{mm Hg}}{54.2 \, \text{mm Hg}} = 0.003689\)

Since the mole fraction of the solute is also equal to the number of moles of solute divided by the total number of moles, we can express \(x_{\text{solute}}\) as:

\(x_{\text{solute}} = \frac{\text{moles}_{\text{solute}}}{\text{moles}_{\text{solute}} + \text{moles}_{\text{water}}}\)

Assuming that the solution is dilute, the number of moles of water will be much larger than the number of moles of solute, so we can approximate the total number of moles as the number of moles of water.

Thus, we have :

\(x_{\text{solute}} \approx \frac{\text{moles}_{\text{solute}}}{\text{moles}_{\text{water}}}\)

Therefore, the number of moles of solute is :

\(\text{moles}_{\text{solute}} = x_{\text{solute}} \cdot \text{moles}_{\text{water}}\)

The number of moles of water is the mass of the water divided by the molar mass of water (18 g/mol) :

\(\text{moles}_{\text{water}} = \frac{100 \, \text{g}}{18 \, \text{g/mol}} = 5.56 \, \text{mol}\)

So, the number of moles of solute is :

\(\text{moles}_{\text{solute}} = 0.003689 \cdot 5.56 \, \text{mol} = 0.0205 \, \text{mol}\)

Finally, to find the mass of the glucose, we multiply the number of moles of glucose by the molar mass of glucose :

\(\text{mass}_{\text{glucose}} = \text{moles}_{\text{solute}} \cdot \text{molar mass}_{\text{glucose}}\)

\(\text{mass}_{\text{glucose}} = 0.0205 \, \text{mol} \cdot 180 \, \text{g/mol} = 3.69 \, \text{g}\)

So, the correct answer is 3.69 g.
Q2.

When a certain amount of solid A is dissolved in \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) of water at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to make a dilute solution, the vapour pressure of the solution is reduced to one-half of that of pure water. The vapour pressure of pure water is \(23.76 \,\mathrm{mmHg}\). The number of moles of solute A added is _____________. (Nearest Integer)

\(\because\) Diliute solution given:

\( \frac{\mathrm{P}^0-\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{S}}}{\mathrm{P}^0} \sim \frac{{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \text { solute }}{{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \text { solvent }} \)

\( \frac{\mathrm{P}^0-\mathrm{P}^0 / 2}{\mathrm{P}^0}=\frac{{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \text { solute }}{{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \text { solvent }} \)

\({ }^{\mathrm{n}}\) solute \(\sim \frac{{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \text { solvent }}{2}=\frac{100}{18 \times 2}=2.78 \mathrm{~mol}\)

More accurate approach:

\( \frac{\mathrm{P}^0-\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{S}}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{S}}}=\frac{{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \text { solute }}{{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \text { solvent }} \)

\( \frac{\mathrm{P}^0-\mathrm{P}^0 / 2}{\mathrm{P}^0 / 2}=\frac{{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \text { solute }}{{ }^n \text { solvent }} \)

\({ }^n\) solute \(={ }^n\) solvent \(=\frac{100}{18}=5.55 \mathrm{~mol}\)

Q1.

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 mm Hg and that of the solution is 500 mm Hg . The vapour pressure of pure B and the least volatile component of the solution, respectively, are:

  1. \(1400 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~Hg}, \mathrm{A}\)
  2. \(1400 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~Hg}, B\)
  3. \(600 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~Hg}, \mathrm{A}\)
  4. \(600 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{~Hg}, \mathrm{B}\)

Given:

1 mole of volatile liquid A

3 moles of volatile liquid B

Vapor pressure of pure A, \( P_A^o = 200 \) mm Hg

Vapor pressure of the solution, \( P_{S} = 500 \) mm Hg

We apply Raoult's law, which states:

\( P_{S} = P_A^o \cdot X_A + P_B^o \cdot X_B \)

Where:

\( X_A \) is the mole fraction of A

\( X_B \) is the mole fraction of B

\( P_B^o \) is the vapor pressure of pure liquid B

Calculate the mole fractions:

\( X_A = \frac{1}{1+3} = \frac{1}{4} \)

\( X_B = \frac{3}{1+3} = \frac{3}{4} \)

Plug these into the equation:

\( 500 = 200 \times \frac{1}{4} + P_B^o \times \frac{3}{4} \)

Simplifying:

\( 500 = 50 + \frac{3}{4} P_B^o \)

Subtract 50 from both sides:

\( 450 = \frac{3}{4} P_B^o \)

Multiply both sides by \(\frac{4}{3}\) to solve for \(P_B^o\):

\( P_B^o = 600 \, \text{mm Hg} \)

Since \( P_A^o < P_B^o \), liquid A is the least volatile component.

In conclusion:

The vapor pressure of pure B, \( P_B^o \), is 600 mm Hg.

The least volatile component is A.

Q2.

Liquid A and B form an ideal solution. The vapour pressures of pure liquids A and B are 350 and 750 mm Hg respectively at the same temperature. If \(x_A\) and \(x_B\) are the mole fraction of A and B in solution while \(y_A\) and \(y_B\) are the mole fraction of A and B in vapour phase, then,

  1. \((x_A - y_A) < (x_B - y_B)\)

  2. \(\frac{x_A}{x_B} = \frac{y_A}{y_B}\)

  3. \(\frac{x_A}{x_B} < \frac{y_A}{y_B}\)

  4. \(\frac{x_A}{x_B} > \frac{y_A}{y_B}\)

Liquid A and B form an ideal solution. The vapor pressures of pure liquids A and B are 350 mm Hg and 750 mm Hg, respectively, at the same temperature. Here, \( x_A \) and \( x_B \) represent the mole fractions of A and B in the solution, and \( y_A \) and \( y_B \) are their mole fractions in the vapor phase.

Let’s begin by comparing the vapor pressures:

\( \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{o}} < \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{o}} \)

\( \frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{o}}} < 1 \)

The relationship between the mole fractions in the vapor phase and the solution can be expressed as:

\( \frac{y_A}{y_B} = \frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{o}}} \cdot \frac{x_A}{x_B} \)

Since \(\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{o}}} < 1\), it follows that:

\( \frac{\frac{y_A}{y_B}}{\frac{x_A}{x_B}} < 1 \)

Which implies:

\( \frac{y_A}{y_B} < \frac{x_A}{x_B} \)

This indicates that the mole fraction ratio of A to B in the vapor phase is less than that in the solution.

Q3.

The total pressure observed by mixing two liquids A and B is 350 mm Hg when their mole fractions are 0.7 and 0.3 respectively.

The total pressure becomes 410 mm Hg if the mole fractions are changed to 0.2 and 0.8 respectively for A and B. The vapour pressure of pure A is __________ mm Hg. (Nearest integer)

Consider the liquids and solutions behave ideally.

Let \(V . P\) of pure \(A\) be \(P_A^0\)

Let \(V . P\) of pure \(B\) be \(P_B^0\)

When \(\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{A}}=0.7 \& \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{B}}=0.3\)

\( \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{s}}=350 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^0 \times 0.7+\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^0 \times 0.3=350 \end{aligned} \)

When \(\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{A}}=0.2 \& \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{B}}=0.8\)

\( \begin{aligned} & P_{\mathrm{s}}=410 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^0 \times 0.2+\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^0 \times 0.8=410 \end{aligned} \)

Solving (i) and (ii)

\( \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^0=314 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg} \\\\ & \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^0=434 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg} \\\\ & \therefore \text{Answer} = 314 \end{aligned} \)
Q4.

The vapour pressures of two volatile liquids A and B at 25\(^\circ\)C are 50 Torr and 100 Torr, respectively. If the liquid mixture contains 0.3 mole fraction of A, then the mole fraction of liquid B in the vapour phase is \({x \over {17}}\). The value of x is ______________.

\( \begin{aligned} &\frac{\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{B}}}{1-\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{B}}}=\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}^{\mathrm{o}}}\left[\frac{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{B}}}{1-\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{B}}}\right] \\\\ &\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{B}}}{1-\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{B}}}=\frac{100}{50}\left[\frac{0.7}{0.3}\right]=\frac{14}{3} \\\\ &\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{14}{17} \end{aligned} \)
Q5.

A gaseous mixture of two substances A and B, under a total pressure of \(0.8\) atm is in equilibrium with an ideal liquid solution. The mole fraction of substance A is \(0.5\) in the vapour phase and \(0.2\) in the liquid phase. The vapour pressure of pure liquid \(\mathrm{A}\) is __________ atm. (Nearest integer)

Given that \(X_{A}=0.2, Y_{A}=0.5, P_{T}=0.8 \mathrm{~atm}\)

We know that \(P_{A}=Y_{A} \times P_{T}\)

\( P_{A}=0.5 \times 0.8=0.4 \)

Now \(P_{A}=X_{A} \times P_{A}^{\circ} \Rightarrow P_{A}^{\circ}=\frac{0.4}{0.2}=2 \mathrm{~atm}\)

Q1.

When a non-volatile solute is added to the solvent, the vapour pressure of the solvent decreases by 10 mm of Hg . The mole fraction of the solute in the solution is 0.2 . What would be the mole fraction of the solvent if decrease in vapour pressure is 20 mm of Hg ?

  1. 0.2
  2. 0.4
  3. 0.8
  4. 0.6

When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, it causes the vapour pressure of the solvent to decrease. In this scenario, when the vapour pressure decreases by 10 mm of Hg, the mole fraction of the solute in the solution is 0.2.

By understanding the relationship between vapour pressure change and mole fraction, we see that:

The change in vapour pressure (\(P^{\circ} - P\)) is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solute (\(X_{\text{solute}}\)).

Therefore, if a 10 mm of Hg decrease corresponds to a mole fraction of 0.2, then a 20 mm of Hg decrease would correspond to a mole fraction of 0.4.

To find the mole fraction of the solvent (\(X_{\text{solvent}}\)), we use the formula:

\( X_{\text{solvent}} = 1 - X_{\text{solute}} \)

Substituting the value we found:

\( X_{\text{solvent}} = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 \)

Thus, when the vapour pressure decreases by 20 mm of Hg, the mole fraction of the solvent is 0.6.

Q2.

Consider a binary solution of two volatile liquid components 1 and \(2 . x_1\) and \(y_1\) are the mole fractions of component 1 in liquid and vapour phase, respectively. The slope and intercept of the linear plot of \(\frac{1}{x_1}\) vs \(\frac{1}{y_1}\) are given respectively as :

  1. \(\frac{\mathrm{P}_1^0}{\mathrm{P}_2^0}, \frac{\mathrm{P}_1^0-\mathrm{P}_2^0}{\mathrm{P}_2^0}\)
  2. \(\frac{\mathrm{P}_2^0}{\mathrm{P}_1^0}, \frac{\mathrm{P}_2^0-\mathrm{P}_1^0}{\mathrm{P}_2^0}\)
  3. \(\frac{\mathrm{P}_2^0}{\mathrm{P}_1^0}, \frac{\mathrm{P}_1^0-\mathrm{P}_2^0}{\mathrm{P}_2^0}\)
  4. \(\frac{\mathrm{P}_1^0}{\mathrm{P}_2^0}, \frac{\mathrm{P}_2^0-\mathrm{P}_1^0}{\mathrm{P}_2^0}\)

For a binary solution of two volatile liquid components labeled 1 and 2, let \( x_1 \) and \( y_1 \) represent the mole fractions of component 1 in the liquid and vapor phases, respectively. The linear relationship between the inverse of these mole fractions is plotted as \(\frac{1}{x_1}\) versus \(\frac{1}{y_1}\).

To derive the slope and intercept of this linear plot, consider the following calculations:

Using Raoult's Law for a Liquid Solution:

For a liquid solution with volatile components 1 and 2:

\( \mathrm{P}_1 = \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{T}} \cdot y_1 = \mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}} \cdot x_1 \)

Therefore:

\( \frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{T}}}{x_1} = \frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{y_1} \)

Rearranging the Equation:

By substituting and rearranging, we have:

\( \frac{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}} + x_1(\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}} - \mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}})}{x_1} = \frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{y_1} \)

Simplifying further:

\( \frac{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}}{x_1} + (\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}} - \mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}) = \frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{y_1} \)

Expressing \(\frac{1}{x_1}\):

Solving for \(\frac{1}{x_1}\), we obtain:

\( \frac{1}{x_1} = \left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}}\right)\left(\frac{1}{y_1}\right) + \left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}} - \mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}}\right) \)

Determining the Slope and Intercept:

The slope of the line is:

\( \text{Slope} = \frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}} \)

The intercept of the line is:

\( \text{Intercept} = \frac{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}} - \mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}} \)

In summary, for the plot of \(\frac{1}{x_1}\) against \(\frac{1}{y_1}\), the slope is \(\frac{\mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}}\) and the intercept is \(\frac{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}} - \mathrm{P}_1^{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{P}_2^{\mathrm{o}}}\).

Q3.

Which of the following binary mixture does not show the behaviour of minimum boiling azeotropes?

  1. \(\text{CH}_3\text{OH} + \text{CHCl}_3\)

  2. \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2\)

  3. \(\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CH}_3\text{COC}_2\text{H}_5\)

  4. \(\text{CS}_2 + \text{CH}_3\text{COCH}_3\)

A binary mixture of \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} \) and \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2 \) exhibits negative deviation from Raoult's law. This means that the vapor pressure of the solution is lower than the vapor pressures of the pure components, \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} \) and \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2 \). Consequently, the boiling point of the solution is higher than the boiling points of the pure substances. Therefore, this mixture forms a maximum boiling azeotrope.

Q4.

' \(x\) ' g of NaCl is added to water in a beaker with a lid. The temperature of the system is raised from \(1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Which out of the following plots, is best suited for the change in the molarity \((\mathrm{M})\) of the solution with respect to temperature ?

[Consider the solubility of NaCl remains unchanged over the temperature range]

  1. JEE Main 2025 (Online) 2nd April Evening Shift Chemistry - Solutions Question 9 English Option 1
  2. JEE Main 2025 (Online) 2nd April Evening Shift Chemistry - Solutions Question 9 English Option 2
  3. JEE Main 2025 (Online) 2nd April Evening Shift Chemistry - Solutions Question 9 English Option 3
  4. JEE Main 2025 (Online) 2nd April Evening Shift Chemistry - Solutions Question 9 English Option 4

When \(x\) grams of NaCl are added to water in a beaker and the temperature is increased from \(1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the molarity of the solution changes due to the volumetric changes of water.

Temperature from \(1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\):

Water is densest at \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

As the temperature increases from \(1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the water volume decreases due to increased density.

This decrease in volume results in an increase in molarity because molarity is inversely proportional to the solution's volume.

Temperature from \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\):

Beyond \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), water expands with an increase in temperature.

Therefore, as temperature rises to \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the volume of the water increases.

The dilution leads to a decrease in molarity, since molarity is inversely proportional to volume.

Thus, the molarity first increases as temperature rises to \(4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), but then decreases as it continues to \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The graphical representation of this relationship would exhibit an initial increase in molarity, followed by a decrease, correlating with changes in the volume of water due to temperature variations.

Q5.

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I List - II
(A) Solution of chloroform and acetone (I) Minimum boiling azeotrope
(B) Solution of ethanol and water (II) Dimerizes
(C) Solution of benzene and toluene (III) Maximum boiling azeotrope
(D) Solution of acetic acid in benzene (IV) ΔVmix = 0

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)

  2. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

  3. (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

  4. (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

To correctly match the items from List - I with those in List - II, let's analyze the characteristics of each solution:

(A) Solution of chloroform and acetone: This solution exhibits negative deviation from Raoult's law. It creates a maximum boiling azeotrope because the interactions between chloroform and acetone molecules are stronger than those in the pure components.

(B) Solution of ethanol and water: This solution shows positive deviation from Raoult's law, leading to the formation of a minimum boiling azeotrope. The interactions between ethanol and water molecules are weaker than those in their pure states.

(C) Solution of benzene and toluene: This combination forms an ideal solution where Raoult’s law is obeyed across all concentrations. Thus, the volume change upon mixing, denoted as \(\Delta V_{\text{mix}}\), is zero.

(D) Solution of acetic acid in benzene: In this mixture, acetic acid tends to dimerize. The acetic acid molecules pair up, forming dimers, especially in non-polar solvents like benzene.

Based on these explanations, the correct matches are:

(A) - (III)

(B) - (I)

(C) - (IV)

(D) - (II)

Q6.

Identify the mixture that shows positive deviations from Raoult's Law

  2. \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{CO}+\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{NH}_2\)
  3. \(\mathrm{CHCl}_3+\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_6\)
  4. \(\mathrm{CHCl}_3+\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{CO}\)

\(\left(\mathrm{CH}_3\right)_2 \mathrm{CO}+\mathrm{CS}_2\) Exibits positive deviations from Raoult's Law

Q7.

The vapor pressure of pure benzene and methyl benzene at \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is given as 80 Torr and 24 Torr, respectively. The mole fraction of methyl benzene in vapor phase, in equilibrium with an equimolar mixture of those two liquids (ideal solution) at the same temperature is _________ \(\times 10^{-2}\) (nearest integer)

To find the mole fraction of methyl benzene in the vapor phase when it is in equilibrium with an equimolar (equal mole) mixture of benzene and methyl benzene at \(27^{\circ}C\), we can apply Raoult's law for an ideal solution. Given the vapor pressures of pure benzene and methyl benzene are 80 Torr and 24 Torr, respectively.

Raoult's law states that the partial vapor pressure of a component in a solution is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component multiplied by its mole fraction in the solution (\(P_i = P_i^\circ x_i\)), where \(P_i\) is the partial vapor pressure of the component \(i\), \(P_i^\circ\) is the vapor pressure of the pure component \(i\), and \(x_i\) is the mole fraction of the component \(i\) in the solution.

For an equimolar mixture of benzene and methyl benzene, the mole fractions of benzene (\(x_b\)) and methyl benzene (\(x_{mb}\)) in the liquid phase are both \(0.5\), because the mixture is equimolar.

The total pressure of the mixture (\(P_{total}\)) can be calculated using Raoult's law for each component and summing up the individual pressures:

\(P_{total} = P_{benzene} + P_{methyl\ benzene}\)

\(P_{total} = (P_b^\circ x_b) + (P_{mb}^\circ x_{mb})\)

Substituting the given values:

\(P_{total} = (80 \times 0.5) + (24 \times 0.5)\)

\(P_{total} = 40 + 12 = 52 \, \text{Torr}\)

The mole fraction of methyl benzene in the vapor phase (\(y_{mb}\)) can be calculated using Dalton's law, which states that the partial pressure of a component in a mixture is equal to the mole fraction of that component in the vapor phase times the total pressure of the mixture.

The partial pressure of methyl benzene can be obtained from Raoult's law as we did earlier:

\(P_{methyl\ benzene} = P_{mb}^\circ x_{mb} = 24 \times 0.5 = 12 \, \text{Torr}\)

Using Dalton's law:

\(y_{mb} = \frac{P_{methyl\ benzene}}{P_{total}}\)

Substituting the values:

\(y_{mb} = \frac{12}{52}\)

\(y_{mb} = \frac{6}{26}\)

\(y_{mb} = \frac{3}{13}\)

To express \(y_{mb}\) as a percentage times \(10^{-2}\):

\(y_{mb} = \left(\frac{3}{13}\right) \times 100 \times 10^{-2}\)

\(y_{mb} \approx 23.08 \times 10^{-2}\)

So, the mole fraction of methyl benzene in the vapor phase, in equilibrium with an equimolar mixture of those two liquids at \(27^{\circ}C\), is approximately \(23 \times 10^{-2}\) (rounded to the nearest integer).

Q8.
The vapour pressure of \(30 \%(\mathrm{w} / \mathrm{v})\) aqueous solution of glucose is __________ \(\mathrm{mm} ~\mathrm{Hg}\) at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

[Given : The density of \(30 \%\) (w/v), aqueous solution of glucose is \(1.2 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}\) and vapour pressure of pure water is \(24 \mathrm{~mm}~ \mathrm{Hg}\).]

(Molar mass of glucose is \(180 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\).)
The given solution is a \(30 \%\) (w/v) aqueous solution of glucose. This means that \(30\ \mathrm{g}\) of glucose is dissolved in \(100\ \mathrm{mL}\) of the solution. Since the density of the solution is \(1.2\ \mathrm{g/mL}\), the weight of \(100\ \mathrm{mL}\) of the solution is:

\(\mathrm{Wt.~of~solution} = 100\ \mathrm{mL} \times 1.2\ \mathrm{g/mL} = 120\ \mathrm{g}\)

Since the solution is \(30 \%\) (w/v), the weight of glucose in \(100\ \mathrm{mL}\) of the solution is \(30\ \mathrm{g}\). Therefore, the weight of water in \(100\ \mathrm{mL}\) of the solution is:

\(\mathrm{Wt.~of~water} = 120\ \mathrm{g} - 30\ \mathrm{g} = 90\ \mathrm{g}\)

Now, we can use Raoult's law to calculate the vapour pressure of the solution. Raoult's law states that the partial vapour pressure of a solvent in a solution is proportional to its mole fraction in the solution. For a dilute solution, the mole fraction of the solvent can be approximated as the ratio of the number of moles of solvent to the total number of moles in the solution.

Let us assume that we have 1 mole of the solution. The number of moles of glucose in the solution is:

\(n_{\mathrm{glucose}} = \frac{30\ \mathrm{g}}{180\ \mathrm{g/mol}} = 0.167\ \mathrm{mol}\)

The number of moles of water in the solution is:

\(n_{\mathrm{water}} = \frac{90\ \mathrm{g}}{18\ \mathrm{g/mol}} = 5\ \mathrm{mol}\)

The total number of moles in the solution is:

\(n_{\mathrm{total}} = n_{\mathrm{glucose}} + n_{\mathrm{water}} = 5.167\ \mathrm{mol}\)

Let \(P\) be the vapour pressure of the solution. According to Raoult's law, we have:

\(\frac{P_0 - P}{P} = \frac{n_{\mathrm{glucose}}}{n_{\mathrm{water}}} = \frac{0.167}{5} = 0.0334\)

where \(P_0\) is the vapour pressure of pure water, which is given as \(24\ \mathrm{mmHg}\).

Simplifying the above equation, we get:

\(P = \frac{P_0}{1 + \frac{n_{\mathrm{glucose}}}{n_{\mathrm{water}}}} = \frac{24\ \mathrm{mmHg}}{1 + \frac{0.167}{5}} = 23.22\ \mathrm{mmHg}\)

Therefore, the vapour pressure of the \(30\%\) (w/v) aqueous solution of glucose at \(25^\circ\mathrm{C}\) is \(\boxed{23\ \mathrm{mmHg}}\) (rounded off to the nearest integer).
Q9.

80 mole percent of \(\mathrm{MgCl}_{2}\) is dissociated in aqueous solution. The vapour pressure of \(1.0 ~\mathrm{molal}\) aqueous solution of \(\mathrm{MgCl}_{2}\) at \(38^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is ____________ \(\mathrm{mm} ~\mathrm{Hg.} ~\mathrm{(Nearest} ~\mathrm{integer)}\)

Given : Vapour pressure of water at \(38^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is \(50 \mathrm{~mm} ~\mathrm{Hg}\)

\( \begin{array}{ccc} \mathrm{MgCl}_2 & \rightleftharpoons ~\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1-0.8 & 0.8 & 1.6 \end{array} \)

Hence overall molality will be equal to \(=2.6\)

\( \frac{p^{\circ}-p}{p^{\circ}}=\frac{2.6}{\frac{1000}{18}+2.6} \)

For dil solution

\( \begin{aligned} & \frac{p^{\circ}-p}{p^{\circ}}=\frac{2.6}{\frac{1000}{18}} \\\\ & p=47.66 \simeq 48 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg} \end{aligned} \)
Q10.

Mass of Urea \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{2} \mathrm{CONH}_{2}\right)\) required to be dissolved in \(1000 \mathrm{~g}\) of water in order to reduce the vapour pressure of water by \(25 \%\) is _________ g. (Nearest integer)

Given: Molar mass of N, C, O and H are \(14,12,16\) and \(1 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) respectively

Given:

  • Vapor pressure reduction: \(25\%\) (\(0.75\) times the vapor pressure of pure water)

  • Molar mass of water (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}\)): \(18 \, \text{g/mol}\)

  • Mass of solvent (water): \(1000 \, \text{g}\)

Using Raoult's law:

\(\frac{P^0 - P_s}{P_s} = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{n_{\text{solvent}}} = \frac{\frac{x}{M_{\text{urea}}}}{\frac{1000}{M_{\text{water}}}} = \frac{P^0 - 0.75P^0}{0.75P^0}\)

Solving for (x):

\(\frac{x}{60} = \frac{10000}{9}\) \(x = 1111.11111 \approx 1111 \, \text{g}\)

So, the mass of urea required to be dissolved in \(1000 \, \text{g}\) of water is \(1111 \, \text{g}\).
