Q1. For a solution, the plot of osmotic pressure (p) verses the concentration (c in mol L–1) gives a straight line with slope 310R where 'R' is the gas constant. The temperature at which osmotic pressure measured is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

π = CRT

y = x (m)

m = RT

310 R = RT

T = 310 K

= 37º C


Q2. 200ml of an aqueous solution of a protein contains 1.26g of protein. At 300K, the osmotic pressure of this solution is found to be 2.52 × 10–3 bar. The molar mass of protein will be (R = 0.083 L bar mol–1K–1)
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

π = CRT

π = [ W/MV ] . RT

M = WRT / π V

= [1.26 x 0.083x300] / [2.52x10-3x0.2]

= 62.22 Kg mol-1



Q3. The Van't Hoff factor (i) for a dilute aqueous solution of the strong elecrolyte barium hydroxide is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Ba (OH)2 dissociates to form

Ba2+ and 2OH ion

 α=(i-1) / (n-1)

i= α(n-1)+1

 n=i=3 (for Ba(OH)2), α =1)


Q4. What is the molality of a 10% W/W aqueous sodium hydroxide solution ?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

10% W/W aqueous NaOH solution means that 10 g of sodium hydroxide in 100g solution

Molality = no. of moles of solute / weight of solvent (in kg)

= (10/40)  / 0.1 = 0.25/0.1 = 2.5M


Q5. The correct equation for the degree of an associating solute, 'n' molecules of which undergoes association in solution, is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


 α=(1-i)n/(n-1) or n(i-1)/(1-n)

Q6. Which of the following aqueous solutions has the highest boiling point ?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Elevation of boiling point is more in the case of Na3PO4 (no. of ions 4 ; 3 Na+, PO43–

Q7. The freezing point depression constant for water is 1.86o K Kgmol-1. If 5g Na2SO4 is dissolved in 45g water, the depression in freezing point is 3.64oC. The Vant Hoff factor for Na2SO4 is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:



Q8. Equimolal aqueous solutions of NaCl and KCl are prepared. If the freezing point of NaCl is –2ºC, the freezing point of KCl solution is expected to be
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Equimolal aqueous solution of KCl also shows 2ºC depression in freezing point.

Q9. Phenol dimerises in benzene having van't Hoff factor 0.54. What is the degree of association ?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

i = 0.54

α=(1-i)n/(n-1)

=(1-0.54)2 / (2-1)

 α= 0.92


Q10. Assertion : An ideal solution obeys Raoults Law

Reason : In an ideal solution, solvent-solvent as well as solute-solute interactions are similar to solute-solvent interactions.

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
