Question

In the depression of freezing point experiment

A. Vapour pressure of the solution is less than that of pure solvent

B. Vapour pressure of the solution is more than that of pure solvent

C. Only solute molecules solidify at the freezing point

D. Only solvent molecules solidify at the freezing point

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options
  1. a

    A and D only

  2. b

    B and C only

  3. c

    A and C only

  4. d

    A only

Correct Answera

A and D only

Detailed Solution

Strategy:\n> For the same solvent (KbK_b constant), the elevation ΔTb\Delta T_b is proportional to the number of particles (imi \cdot m).\n\nStep 1: Calculate effective particles\nSolute X is a non-electrolyte (i=1i=1).\n- n=1.0textg/50textg/mol=0.02textmoln = 1.0\\text{ g} / 50\\text{ g/mol} = 0.02\\text{ mol}.\n- ΔTb\Delta T_b is proportional to 0.02.\n\nStep 2: Compare to glucose\nGlucose is a non-electrolyte (i=1i=1). Molar mass = 180.\n- n=1.0textg/180textg/mol0.0055textmoln = 1.0\\text{ g} / 180\\text{ g/mol} \approx 0.0055\\text{ mol}.\n- Elevation for X will be much greater.\n\ntextAnswer:(1)\boxed{\\text{Answer: (1)}}
