Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: Which condition is NOT satisfied by an ideal solution?
(a) ΔH mixing = 0
(b) ΔS mixing = 0
(c) ΔV mixing = 0
(d) Obeyance of Raoult's law
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) ΔS mixing = 0

Explanation:
1. For an ideal solution ΔH(mix) = 0, ΔV(mix) = 0 and Raoult's law is obeyed.
2. The entropy of mixing is positive (the solution is more disordered), so ΔS(mix) is not zero.

Teacher's Note:
1. The mixing of two ideal liquids is driven by an increase in entropy.

Question 2: A 5.8% (w/vol) NaCl solution will exert an osmotic pressure closest to which one of the following?
(a) 1 M glucose solution
(b) 5.8% (w/vol) glucose solution
(c) 5.8% (w/vol) sucrose solution
(d) 2 M sucrose solution
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 2 M sucrose solution

Explanation:
1. 5.8% means 58 g per litre, \( 58/58.5 \approx 1 \) M of NaCl.
2. With i = 2 the effective concentration is about 2 M, close to a 2 M sucrose solution.

Teacher's Note:
1. The effective particle concentration of NaCl is double its molarity.

Question 3: The van't Hoff factor (i) for a dilute aqueous solution of the strong electrolyte barium hydroxide is:
(a) 3
(b) 0
(c) 1
(d) 2
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 3

Explanation:
1. \( Ba(OH)_2\to Ba^{2+}+2OH^- \) gives 3 ions, so i = 3.

Teacher's Note:
1. A strong electrolyte in dilute solution is almost completely dissociated.

Question 4: A solution of urea boils at 100.18 °C at atmospheric pressure. If Kf and Kb for water are 1.86 and 0.512 K kg mol⁻¹ respectively, the above solution will freeze at:
(a) -6.54 °C
(b) -0.654 °C
(c) 6.54 °C
(d) 0.654 °C
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) -0.654 °C

Explanation:
1. \( m = \dfrac{0.18}{0.512} = 0.3516 \).
2. \( \Delta T_f = 1.86\times0.3516 = 0.654 \), so the freezing point is \( -0.654 \) °C.

Teacher's Note:
1. The same solution gives both the boiling point elevation and the freezing point depression.

Question 5: Among the following, the pair that does NOT form an ideal solution is:
(a) C6H6 and C6H5CH3
(b) C2H5Cl and C6H5OH
(c) C2H5Br and C2H5I
(d) C6H5Cl and C6H5Br
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) C2H5Cl and C6H5OH

Explanation:
1. Ideal solutions form between molecules of similar structure and polarity (benzene-toluene, chlorobenzene-bromobenzene, bromoethane-iodoethane).
2. Phenol is strongly hydrogen-bonded, whereas chloroethane is not, so this pair deviates from ideality.

Teacher's Note:
1. Hydrogen bonding in one component usually leads to non-ideal behaviour.

Question 6: Which salt shows the maximum osmotic pressure in its 1 M solution?
(a) Na2SO4
(b) (NH4)3PO4
(c) AgNO3
(d) MgCl2
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) (NH4)3PO4

Explanation:
1. The osmotic pressure is proportional to the number of ions: AgNO3 gives 2, Na2SO4 gives 3, (NH4)3PO4 gives 4 and MgCl2 gives 3.
2. (NH4)3PO4 gives the most ions.

Teacher's Note:
1. For equal molarity, compare the number of ions per formula unit.

Question 7: Which one of the following is incorrect for an ideal solution?
(a) ΔU(mix) = 0
(b) ΔH(mix) = 0
(c) ΔP = P(obs) − P(calculated by Raoult's law) = 0
(d) ΔG(mix) = 0
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) ΔG(mix) = 0

Explanation:
1. For an ideal solution, the deviation from Raoult's law, ΔH(mix), ΔV(mix) and ΔU(mix) are all zero.
2. ΔG(mix) = −TΔS(mix) is negative, so ΔG(mix) = 0 is incorrect.

Teacher's Note:
1. Since ΔH = 0 and ΔS > 0, the free energy of mixing is negative.

Question 8: Ethylene glycol is used as an antifreeze in a cold climate. The mass of ethylene glycol which should be added to 4 kg of water to prevent it from freezing at -6 °C will be (Kf for water = 1.86 K kg mol⁻¹, molar mass of ethylene glycol = 62 g mol⁻¹):
(a) 800.00 g
(b) 400.00 g
(c) 204.30 g
(d) 304.60 g
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 800.00 g

Explanation:
1. \( m = \dfrac{6}{1.86} = 3.226 \) mol/kg, so moles in 4 kg \( = 12.9 \).
2. Mass \( = 12.9\times62 = 800 \) g.

Teacher's Note:
1. Find the molality needed for the desired depression, then scale up.

Question 9: An azeotropic mixture of two liquids has a boiling point lower than either of them when it:
(a) shows a negative deviation from Henry's law
(b) shows a positive deviation from Henry's law
(c) shows no deviation from Raoult's law
(d) shows a positive deviation from Raoult's law
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) shows a positive deviation from Raoult's law

Explanation:
1. Positive deviation means a higher vapour pressure than predicted, so the boiling point is lower.
2. Such a mixture is a minimum-boiling azeotrope.

Teacher's Note:
1. Positive deviation gives a minimum-boiling azeotrope. Negative deviation gives a maximum-boiling azeotrope.

Question 10: Which solution will exert the highest osmotic pressure?
(a) 1 M NaCl solution
(b) 1 M urea solution
(c) 1 M alum solution
(d) 1 M glucose solution
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 1 M alum solution

Explanation:
1. Glucose and urea give i = 1 and NaCl gives i = 2.
2. Alum, \( K_2SO_4\cdot Al_2(SO_4)_3\cdot24H_2O \), gives 2 K+, 2 Al3+ and 4 SO4(2-) = 8 ions per formula unit, the greatest.

Teacher's Note:
1. Count the total number of ions released per formula unit.

Question 11: 0.5 mol of NaCl is dissolved in 500 g of water. Determine the freezing point and boiling point of the solution (Kf = 1.8 K kg mol⁻¹, Kb = 0.5 K kg mol⁻¹ for water, NaCl completely dissociated):
(a) -1.8 °C, 100.5 °C
(b) 0 °C, 100 °C
(c) -3.6 °C, 99 °C
(d) -3.6 °C, 101 °C
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) -3.6 °C, 101 °C

Explanation:
1. \( m = \dfrac{0.5}{0.5} = 1 \) molal, \( i = 2 \).
2. \( \Delta T_f = 2\times1.8\times1 = 3.6 \), so \( T_f = -3.6 \) °C.
3. \( \Delta T_b = 2\times0.5\times1 = 1 \), so \( T_b = 101 \) °C.

Teacher's Note:
1. The freezing point decreases and the boiling point increases. NaCl has i = 2.

Question 12: Kf for water is 1.86 K kg mol⁻¹. If your automobile radiator holds 1.0 kg of water, how many grams of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) must you add to get the freezing point of the solution lowered to -2.8 °C?
(a) 39 g
(b) 72 g
(c) 27 g
(d) 93 g
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 93 g

Explanation:
1. \( m = \dfrac{2.8}{1.86} = 1.505 \) mol/kg.
2. Mass \( = 1.505\times62 = 93.3 \) g.

Teacher's Note:
1. Molar mass of C2H6O2 is 62 g/mol.

Question 13: Which of the following is NOT a colligative property?
(a) Relative lowering in vapour pressure
(b) Osmotic pressure
(c) Refractive index
(d) Depression in freezing point
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) Refractive index

Explanation:
1. Colligative properties depend only on the number of solute particles.
2. Refractive index depends on the nature of the substance, so it is not colligative.

Teacher's Note:
1. The four colligative properties are the three listed and the elevation in boiling point.

Question 14: Which is the correct relation between the osmotic pressure of a 0.1 M NaCl solution and a 0.1 M Na2SO4 solution?
(a) The osmotic pressure of Na2SO4 is less than that of the NaCl solution
(b) The osmotic pressure of Na2SO4 is more than that of the NaCl solution
(c) Both have the same osmotic pressure
(d) None of the above
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) The osmotic pressure of Na2SO4 is more than that of the NaCl solution

Explanation:
1. NaCl gives 2 ions (i = 2) and Na2SO4 gives 3 ions (i = 3).
2. At equal molarity, Na2SO4 has the larger osmotic pressure.

Teacher's Note:
1. The more ions, the higher the osmotic pressure.

Question 15: 1 g of a solute dissolved in 50 g of benzene shows a depression in freezing point of 0.4 K. Calculate the molar mass of the solute if Kf = 5.12 K kg mol⁻¹:
(a) 738
(b) 256
(c) 512
(d) 728
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 256

Explanation:
1. \( M = \dfrac{K_f\times w\times1000}{\Delta T_f\times W} = \dfrac{5.12\times1\times1000}{0.4\times50} = 256 \) g/mol.

Teacher's Note:
1. Use the standard molar mass formula with masses in grams.

Question 16: Insulin (C2H10O5)n is dissolved in a suitable solvent and the osmotic pressure (π) of solutions of various concentrations (g cm⁻³) C is measured at 20 °C. The slope of a plot of π against C is found to be \( 4.65\times10^{-3} \). The molecular weight of the insulin is (use R = 0.0821 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹):
(a) \( 9\times10^5 \)
(b) \( 4.8\times10^5 \)
(c) \( 5.16\times10^6 \)
(d) \( 3\times10^5 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( 5.16\times10^6 \)

Explanation:
1. \( \pi = \dfrac{C_{(g/L)}}{M}RT \), and \( C_{(g/L)} = 1000\,C_{(g/cm^3)} \).
2. Slope \( = \dfrac{1000RT}{M} \Rightarrow M = \dfrac{1000\times0.0821\times293}{4.65\times10^{-3}} \approx 5.17\times10^6 \).

Teacher's Note:
1. The slope of a π versus C plot gives RT/M, a standard way to find the molar mass of a polymer.

Question 17: The lowering of vapour pressure of a solvent on addition of a non-volatile solute is directly proportional to:
(a) the nature of the solute in the solution
(b) the atmospheric pressure
(c) the strength (concentration) of the solution
(d) all of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) the strength (concentration) of the solution

Explanation:
1. \( P^0-P_s = P^0x_{solute} \).
2. So the lowering is proportional to the mole fraction (strength) of the solute, not to its nature.

Teacher's Note:
1. Colligative properties depend on how many particles are present, not on what they are.

Question 18: Which one of the following solutions will have the highest osmotic pressure? (Assume that all the salts are equally dissociated.)
(a) 0.1 M Na2SO4
(b) the solution obtained by mixing equal volumes of (2) and (3)
(c) 0.1 M Al2(SO4)3
(d) 0.1 M BaCl2
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 0.1 M Al2(SO4)3

Explanation:
1. Al2(SO4)3 gives 5 ions: effective 0.5 M. BaCl2 and Na2SO4 each give 3 ions: effective 0.3 M.
2. The mixture of (2) and (3) also has an effective concentration of 0.3 M.

Teacher's Note:
1. Compare the total ion concentration i × M for each solution.

Question 19: If the density of methanol is 0.8 kg L⁻¹, what is the volume needed for making 2.5 L of its 0.4 M solution?
(a) 0.04 L
(b) 40 L
(c) 4.0 L
(d) 0.4 L
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 0.04 L

Explanation:
1. Moles needed \( = 0.4\times2.5 = 1 \) mol, which is 32 g of methanol.
2. Volume \( = \dfrac{32\ \text{g}}{800\ \text{g/L}} = 0.04 \) L.

Teacher's Note:
1. Density 0.8 kg/L is 800 g per litre.

Question 20: The average osmotic pressure of human blood is 7.8 bar at 37 °C. What is the concentration of an aqueous NaCl solution that could be used in the blood stream (R = 0.0831 L bar mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, NaCl completely dissociated)?
(a) 0.32 mol L⁻¹
(b) 0.45 mol L⁻¹
(c) 0.16 mol L⁻¹
(d) 0.60 mol L⁻¹
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 0.16 mol L⁻¹

Explanation:
1. \( \pi = iCRT \Rightarrow C = \dfrac{7.8}{2\times0.0831\times310} = 0.151 \) mol/L.
2. The nearest option is 0.16 mol/L.

Teacher's Note:
1. NaCl gives two particles, so the molarity needed is half of what a non-electrolyte would require.

Question 21: The relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to the mole fraction of the non-volatile solute. This statement was given by:
(a) Raoult
(b) Henry
(c) Dalton
(d) Joule
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) Raoult

Explanation:
1. This is Raoult's law for solutions of non-volatile solutes.

Teacher's Note:
1. Henry's law is for gases in liquids, Dalton's law is for gas mixtures.

Question 22: The following solutions have equal concentrations. Which one will show the minimum osmotic pressure?
(a) (NH4)3PO4
(b) BaCl2
(c) AgNO3
(d) Na2SO4
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) AgNO3

Explanation:
1. Number of ions: BaCl2 3, AgNO3 2, Na2SO4 3, (NH4)3PO4 4.
2. AgNO3 gives the fewest ions, so it has the minimum osmotic pressure.

Teacher's Note:
1. The fewest particles give the lowest colligative effect.

Question 23: When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, the relative lowering in vapour pressure depends upon:
(a) \( \dfrac{\text{moles of solution}}{\text{moles of solute}} \)
(b) \( \dfrac{\text{moles of solvent}}{\text{moles of solute}} \)
(c) \( \dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{moles of solvent}} \)
(d) \( \dfrac{\text{moles of solvent}}{\text{total moles in solution}} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{moles of solvent}} \)

Explanation:
1. \( \dfrac{P^0-P_s}{P^0} = \dfrac{n}{n+N} \approx \dfrac{n}{N} \) for a dilute solution.
2. So it depends on the ratio of moles of solute to moles of solvent (increasing with it).

Teacher's Note:
1. Of the given forms, only the first has the solute in the numerator.

Question 24: Camphor is often used in molecular mass determination because:
(a) it is volatile
(b) it is readily available
(c) it has a very high cryoscopic constant
(d) it is a solvent for organic substances
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) it has a very high cryoscopic constant

Explanation:
1. Camphor has a very large molal depression constant (Kf about 40 K kg/mol).
2. A large Kf gives a large, easily measured depression even for small amounts of solute.

Teacher's Note:
1. A high cryoscopic constant means a large depression for each mole of solute.

Question 25: Which one of the following is an incorrect form of Raoult's law (n = moles of solute, N = moles of solvent)?
(a) \( \dfrac{P_s}{P^0-P_s} = \dfrac Nn \)
(b) \( \dfrac{P^0}{P^0-P_s} = 1+\dfrac Nn \)
(c) \( \dfrac{P_s}{P^0} = \dfrac{N}{n+N} \)
(d) \( \dfrac{P^0-P_s}{P_s} = \dfrac{n}{n+N} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \dfrac{P^0-P_s}{P_s} = \dfrac{n}{n+N} \)

Explanation:
1. Raoult's law: \( \dfrac{P^0-P_s}{P^0} = \dfrac{n}{n+N} \). Hence \( \dfrac{P^0-P_s}{P_s} = \dfrac{n}{N} \).
2. Option (3) puts \( n+N \) in the denominator, so it is incorrect. The other three follow correctly.

Teacher's Note:
1. Check each form by taking the standard result and rearranging it.
