Q1

In certain solvent, phenol dimerises to the extent of 60%. Its observed molecular mass in the solvent should be

Ans:

i = 1 –∴ 0.7
Observed =

Q2

A solution containing 8.6 g urea in one litre was found to be isotonic with a 5% (wt./vol.) solution of an organic non – volatile solute. The molecular weight of latter is

Ans:

For isotonic solution

⇒ M = 348.9

Q3

Osmotic pressure of blood is 7.55 atm at 310 K. An aqueous solution of glucose that will be isotonic with blood is...........wt/vol

Ans:

For isotonic solution p1 = p2
7.65 = times; 0.0821 × 310
7.65 = × 0.0821 × 310
= 54.1 g/lt = 5.41%M

Q4

The relationship between the values of osmotic pressures of 0.1 M solutions of KN03(P1) and CH3COOH (P2) is

Ans:

For equimolar solution, osmotic pressure depends on the value of Vant Hoff s factor (i)
∴ Osmotic pressure ∴ i
KNO3, being strong electrolyte, completing ionizes, i1 = 2
But for CH3COOH, i2 = 1 + ∝
∴ i1 > i2 But P1 < i1
P2 < i2
∴ P1 > P2

Q5

The mol. weight of NaCl determined by studying freezing point depression of its 0.5% aqueous solution is 30. The apparent degree of dissociation of NaCl is

Ans:

⇒ α = 0.95.
