At the boiling point of a liquid, its vapour pressure is equal to 1 atm., ii. In order to reach boiling point, the solution and solvent must be heated to a, temperature at which their respective vapour pressures attain 1 atm., iii. At any given temperature the vapour pressure of a solution is lower than that of pure, solvent. Hence, the vapour pressure of solution needs a higher temperature to reach 1, atm than that of needed for vapour pressure of solvent., Therefore, vapour pressure lowering causes a rise in the boiling point of a solution., Exercises | Q 3.2 | Page 45, Answer the following., What are isotonic and hypertonic solutions?, Solution:, i. Isotonic solutions:, Two or more solutions having the same osmotic pressure are said to be isotonic, solutions., e.g. For example, 0.1 M urea solution and 0.1 M sucrose solution are isotonic because, their osmotic pressures are equal. Such solutions have the same molar concentrations, but different concentrations in g/L. If these solutions are separated by a semipermeable, membrane, there is no flow of solvent in either direction., ii. Hypertonic solution:, If two solutions have unequal osmotic pressures, the more concentrated solution with, higher osmotic pressure is said to be the hypertonic solution., e.g. For example, if osmotic pressure of sucrose solution is higher than that of urea, solution, the sucrose solution is hypertonic to urea solution., Exercises | Q 3.3 | Page 46, Answer the following.
Page 10 :
A solvent and its solution containing a nonvolatile solute are separated by a, semipermeable membrane. Does the flow of solvent occur in both directions? Comment, giving a reason., Solution:, 1. When a solution and pure solvent or two solutions of different concentrations are, separated by a semipermeable membrane, the solvent molecules pass through the, membrane., 2. The passage of solvent molecules through the semipermeable membrane takes, place in both directions, since the solvent is on both sides of the membrane., 3. However, the rate of passage of solvent molecules into the solution or from a more, dilute solution to more concentrated solution is found to be greater than the rate in the, reverse direction., 4. This is favorable since the vapour pressure of solvent is greater than that of solution., Exercises | Q 3.4 | Page 46, Answer the following., The osmotic pressure of CaCl2 and urea solutions of the same concentration at the, same temperature are respectively 0.605 atm and 0.245 atm, calculate van’t Hoff factor, for CaCl2., Solution:, Given: Osmotic pressure of CaCl2 solution = 0.605 atm, Osmotic pressure of urea solution = 0.245 atm, To find: The value of van’t Hoff factor, Formulae: π = MRT, π = iMRT, Calculation: For urea solution, π = MRT, 0.245 atm = MRT, , ....(i), , For CaCl2 solution, π = iMRT, 0.602 atm = iMRT, , ....(ii), , From equations (i) and (ii),

If a pressure larger than the osmotic pressure is applied to the solution side, then pure, solvent from the solution passes into pure solvent side through the semipermeable, membrane. This phenomenon is called reverse osmosis., ii. For example, consider fresh water salt water separated by a semipermeable, membrane. When the pressure larger than the osmotic pressure of a solution is applied, to solution, pure water from salty water passes into fresh pure water through the, membrane. Thus, the direction of osmosis can be reversed by applying a pressure, larger than the osmotic pressure., iii. The schematic set up for reverse osmosis is as follows:, , Exercises | Q 3.6 | Page 46, Answer the following., How molar mass of a solute is determined by osmotic pressure measurement?, Solution:, 1.

Vapour pressure of a liquid depends on the ease with which the molecules escape, from the surface of the liquid., ii. When a nonvolatile solute is dissolved in a solvent, some of the surface molecules of, the solvent are replaced by nonvolatile solute molecules. These solute molecules do not, contribute to vapour above the solution., iii. Thus, the number of solvent molecules available for vaporization per unit surface, area of a solution is less than the number at the surface of the pure solvent., iv. As a result the solvent molecules at the surface of solution vaporize at a slower rate, than pure solvent. This results in lowering of vapour pressure, Exercises | Q 3.8 | Page 46, Answer the following., , Solution:

1. Raoult’s law expresses the quantitative relationship between vapour pressure of, solution and vapour pressure of the solvent., 2. In solutions of nonvolatile solutes, the law is applicable only to the volatile solvent., 3.

Why?, Solution:, 1. In boiling point elevation and freezing point depression, we deal with the systems, whose temperature is not constant.
Page 14 :
2. We cannot express the concentration of the solution in molarity because it changes, with temperature whereas molality is temperature independent., Hence, while considering boiling point elevation and freezing point depression a solution, concentration is expressed in molality and not in molarity., Exercises | Q 4 | Page 46, Derive the relationship between the degree of dissociation of an electrolyte and van’t, Hoff factor., Solution:, 1. The weak electrolytes involve the concept of degree of dissociation (α) that changes, the van’t Hoff factor., 2.

If α is the degree of dissociation of electrolyte, then the moles of cations are xα and, those of anions are yα equilibrium. We have dissolved just 1 mol of electrolyte initially. α, mol of electrolyte dissociates and (1 – α) mol remains undissociated at equilibrium., Total moles after dissociation = (1 – α) + (xα) + (yα), = 1 + α (x + y - 1), = 1 + α (n - 1), where, n = x + y = moles of ions obtained from dissociation of 1 mole of electrolyte., 4. The van’t Hoff factor given as, , Exercises | Q 5 | Page 46, What is the effect of temperature on solubility of solids in water? Give examples., Solution:
Page 15 :
1. The effect of temperature on solubility of a substance depends on enthalpy of, solution., a. When the substance dissolves in water by an endothermic process, that is, with the, absorption of heat, its solubility increases with an increase of temperature., e.g. KCl dissolve in water by endothermic process., b. On the other hand, when the substance dissolves in water by an exothermic process,, that is, with the release of heat, its solubility decreases with an increase of temperature., e.g. CaCl2 and Li2SO4.H2O dissolve in water releasing heat., 2. It is important to understand that there is no direct correlation between solubility and, exothermicity or endothermicity. For example, dissolution of CaCl2 in water is, exothermic and that of NH4NO3 is endothermic. However, the solubility of these, substances increases with the temperature, Exercises | Q 6 | Page 46, Obtain the relationship between freezing point depression of a solution containing, nonvolatile-nonelectrolyte solute and its molar mass., Solution:, 1.

Exercises | Q 7 | Page 46, Explain with diagram the boiling point elevation in terms of vapour pressure lowering., Solution:, 1. The vapour pressures of a solution and of pure solvent are plotted as a function of, temperature in the given diagram., 2. At any temperature, the vapour pressure of a solution is lower than that of pure, solvent. Hence, the vapour pressure-temperature curve of solution (CD) lies below that, of solvent (AB)., 3. The difference between the two vapour pressures increases as temperature and, vapour pressure increase as predicted by the equation,, , 4. The intersection of the curve CD with the line corresponding to 760 mm is the boiling, point of solution. The similar intersection of the curve AB is the boiling point of pure, solvent. It is clear from the diagram that the boiling point of the solution (Tb) is higher, than that of pure solvent, 5. At the boiling point of a liquid, its vapour pressure is equal to 1 atm., 6. In order to reach boiling point, the solution and solvent must be heated to a, temperature at which their respective vapour pressures attain 1 atm., 7. At any given temperature the vapour pressure of solution is lower than that of pure, solvent. Hence, the vapour pressure of solution needs a higher temperature to reach 1, atm than that needed for vapour pressure of solvent., 8. In other words, the solution must be heated to higher temperature to cause it to boil, than the pure solvent.
