(b) Cataphoresis                                             

(c) Osmosis

(d) Electrophoresis

76. Explanation (Answer; c)

Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane.

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane separating two solutions of different concentrations from a region of high water potential (region of lower solute concentration) to a region of low water potential (region of higher solute concentration), in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides

 Osmotic pressure is defined as the external pressure required to be applied so that there is no net movement of solvent across the membrane. Osmotic pressure is a colligative property, meaning that the osmotic pressure depends on the molar concentration of the solute but not on its identity.

(b) 0.1 N       

(c)0.3 N       

(d) 0.084 N

87. Explanation (Answer; d)

For HCl solution;                                                                                            

V1 = 300 ml                                                                                                      

N1 = M x Basicity  = 0.1 x 1 = 0.1                                                                

For H2SO4  solution;                                                                                      

V2 = 200 ml                                                                                                      

N2 = M x Basicity =        0.3 x 2 = 0.6                                                          

Normality of the mixture, N = V1N1+V2N2/V1+V2 = 300 x 0 .1 x 200 x 0. 6/500 = 30+12/500 = 0.084

(a) 4.18 M      

(b) 8.14 M      

(c) 18.4 M      

(d) 18 M

88. Explanation (Answer; c)

As the given H2SO4 is 98% by weight, hence 100g solution contains 98g H2SO4 by mass. now

d=m/V and V = m/d 

Here

d = 1.84 g/c.c.,   m =100 g,   v=?

Volume = 100/1.84 = 54.34 mL

Molarity = (Mass/molar mass) x (1000/Volume in mL)

here

weight taken m = 98 g,    

molecular weight of H2SO4 (M) = 98 g/mol,

volume (V) = 54.34 ml

putting these values we get

Molarity = (Mass/molar mass) x (1000/Volume in mL) = (98/98) x (1000/54.34) = 18.4 M

(a) Comparatively lesser                             

(b) Comparatively greater                          

(c) More or less equal                                  

(d) Very large

96. Explanation (Answer; b)

1 molar aqueous solution is more concentrated than 1 molal aqueous solution because 1 molar solution contain 1 mole of solute in 1 litre of the solution which include both solute and solvent. So, the mass of solvent (i.e. water) is less than 1000 gram. Therefore 1 molar aqueous solution contains 1 mole of solute in less than 1000 gram of solvent whereas 1 molal solution has 1 mole of solute in 1000 gram of solvent. Hence concentration will be more in 1 molar aqueous solution.

suppose for example 1M KCl = 74.5 g

volume = 1 L

mass of KCl in 1L = 74.5 g

mass of water in 1 liter of total volume solution = 1000g − 74.5g =0 .925g = 0.925 kg

mass of solvent = 0.925 kg

molality = 1/.925 =1.08

thus in molality, weight of the solvent is less than total volume of the solution in which both are in denominator because weight of the solute has to be subtracted to get the molality.

127. Which of the following aqueous solutions should have the highest boiling point?

(a) 1.0 M NaOH                  

(b) 1.0 M Na2SO4                

(c) 1.0 M NH4NO3

(d) 1.0 M KNO3

Explanation; (Answer; b)

greater the value of van't Hoff factor (i) for same molar concentration, higher will be the elevation in boiling point and hence higher will be the boiling point of solution.

van't Hoff factor (i) for 1.0 M NaOH = 2

van't Hoff factor (i) for 1.0 M Na2SO4  = 3

van't Hoff factor (i) for 1.0 M NH4NO3 = 3

van't Hoff factor (i) for 1.0 M KNO3 = 3

Hence, 1.0 M Na2SO4 has highest value of boiling point.

The formula for elevation in boiling point is

ΔTb = i × Kb × m

Where,

‘i' =  is the Van’t Hoff factor

Kb =  ebullioscopic constant/molal boiling constant

‘m’ =  molality of the solute

Here molality or molarity is same for all compounds i.e. 1M. Hence, the value of elevation in boiling point depends only on Van’t Hoff factor (i). Greater the value of Van’t Hoff factor, higher will be the elevation in boiling point.

Van’t Hoff factor (i) for NaOH (Na+  + OH) is 2.

Van’t Hoff factor (i) for Na2SO4 (2Na+  + SO42−) is 3.

Van’t Hoff factor (i) for NH4NO3 (NH4+  + NO3) is 2.

Van’t Hoff factor (i) for KNO3 (K+  + NO3) is 2.

Since the value of Van’t Hoff factor (i) is greatest for Na2SO4, its aqueous solution will have highest boiling point.

130. Molarity of a given orthophosphoric acid solution is 3M. Its normality is

(a) 0.3 N                                               

(b) 9M                  

(c) 1N                   

(d) 3N

130. Explanation (Answer; b)

n-factor = number of H+ ions or OH ions given by an acid or base in solution

n-factor for H3PO4 = 3

Molarity = Normality/n-factor

Normality = molarity x n-factor = 3 x 3 = 9

131.The osmotic pressure of 0.1 M aqueous solution of NaCl is ………….. osmotic pressure of 0.1 M aqueous solution of glucose.

(a) equal to                         

(b) less than                                       

(c) half of                             

(d) nearly double than

131. Explanation (Answer; d)

The osmotic pressure π = iCRT, where ′i′ is the vant Hoff's factor, C is molar concentration, R is ideal gas constant and T is absolute temperature. Since, C,R and T have same values for different solutions, the solution having higher value of ′i′ will have higher value of the osmotic pressure. ′i′ represents the number of ions obtained from 1 solute molecule. The ionization 0.1 sodium chloride gives 2 ions/particles. Glucose is non-electrolyte and does not undergo dissociation.

0.1 M aqueous solution of NaCl has more osmotic pressure nearly double than 0.1 M aqueous solution of glucose because Na2SOgives 3 ions.

132. Which of the following 0.1 M aqueous solution is likely to have the highest boiling point?

(a) K2SO4                                             

(b) KCl                                                  

(c) Glucose                          

(d) Urea

132. Explanation (Answer; a)

For same molar concentration, solute with greater number of ions will have the highest boiling point. K2SO4 gives 3 ions in aqueous solution and hence it shows the highest boiling point. Glucose and urea are non-electrolyte and do not undergo dissociation

134. The amount of H2SO4 present in 1200 ml of 0.2 N solution is

(a)10.76 g                                           

(b) 11.76 g                                           

(c)12.76 g                           

(d)14.76 g

134. Explanation (Answer; b)

Volume of solution in liter = 1200 ml/1000 = 1.2 liter

gram equivalent mass  of H2SO4 = 49 g/mol

Mass of solute = N x gram equivalent mass  x Vdm3 = 0.2 x 49  x 1.2 = 11.76 g

135. The molarity of solution containing 26.5 g of Na2CO3 in 500 ml of solution is

(a) 1 M                                 

(b) 0.25 M                                           

(c) 0.5 M                              

(d) 0.75 M

135. Explanation (Answer; c)

Volume of solution in liter = 500 ml/1000 = 0.5 liter

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 106 g/mol

Molarity = (mass/M x Vliter) = (26.5/106 x 0.5) = 0.5 M

136. If a solution of ethanol is 2 molal, how many gram of ethanol are dissolved in 2000 g of water?

Raoult’s law quantifies relative lowering in vapour pressure.

139.  Which of the following aqueous solutions has the highest vapour pressure at 300 K?

(a) 1 M Na3PO4                   

(b) 1 M CaCl2                                          

(c) 1 M KNO3                                      

(d) 1 M C6H12O6

139. Explanation; (Answer; d)

The Van’t Hoff Factor (i) quantifies the effect of a solute on various colligative properties of solutions. An electrolytic solute’s Van’t Hoff factor is always equal to the number of ions in which it is ionized. It is equal to one for a non-electrolytic solute.

Upon ionization of electrolytic solutes Na3PO4, CaCl2 and KNO3, the value of the van’t hoff factor(i) comes out to be 4, 3 and 2 respectively. Because C6H12O6 is a non-electrolytic solute, it has i=1.

The greater the value of the Van’t Hoff factor (i), the lower the vapour pressure, and vice versa. As a result of the lower van’t Hoff factor(i) value, C6H12O6 has a higher vapour pressure.

140.  Which of the following has equal boiling point?

(a) 0.1 M Na2SO3

(b) 0.1 M Al(NO3)3                            

(c) 0.1 MgCl2       

(d) both a and c

140. Explanation; (Answer; d)

Boiling point will be the same for those solutes which will have the same value for Van’t Hoff factor.

Van’t Hoff factor(i) for Na2SO3 = 3

Van’t Hoff factor(i) for C12H22O11 = 1

Van’t Hoff factor(i) for Al(NO3)3 = 4

Van’t Hoff factor(i) for MgCl2 = 3

Hence, Na2SO3 and MgCl2 will have the same value for Van’t Hoff factor(i).

In the rest of the cases, it will be equal to the number of ions it produces.

141. Molarity of 4% (w/v) solution of NaOH is:

(a) 0.1

(b) 0.5

(c) 0.001

(d) 1.0

141. Explanation; (Answer; d)

4%(w/v) solution means 4 g of NaOH is present in 100 mL of the solution.
Number of moles of NaOH = mass /molar mass = 4/40 = 0.1 mol
Volume of solution in L = 100 mL = 100/1000 = 0.1 L

Molarity = n/Vliter = 0.1/0.1 = 1.0 M


142. 250 mL of a 2% (w/v) NaOH solution is diluted up to 600 mL. Find the resultant molarity of the solution.

(a) 4.0 M

(b) 0.166 M

(c) 0.33 M

(d) 0.21 M

142. Explanation; (Answer; d)

2%(w/v) solution means 2 g of NaOH is present in 100 mL of the solution.
Number of moles of NaOH = mass /molar mass =2/40 = 0.05 mol
Volume of solution in L = 100 mL = 100/1000 = 0.1 L

Molarity = n/Vliter = 0.05/0.1 = 0.5 M

Conserving moles before and after dilution:
M1V1=M2V2
Where, M1= 0.5 M and V1= 250 mL
M2 and V2 are the molarity and volume of the resultant solution.
(0.5 × 250) = (M×600)
M = 0.21 M

Molarity of the resultant solution is 0.21 M.
