Official Solution
Correct Option: (1)
Step 1: Understand the relationship between vapor pressure and boiling point.
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the external pressure (typically atmospheric pressure). Liquids with lower vapor pressures at a given temperature require more energy (higher temperature) to reach the external pressure and thus have higher boiling points. Step 2: List the vapor pressures of the given liquids at 298 K.
\begin{itemize} \item Toluene: 60 torr \item Benzene: 160 torr \item Chloroform: 200 torr \item Dichloromethane: 415 torr
\end{itemize} Step 3: Identify the liquid with the lowest vapor pressure.
Comparing the vapor pressures, toluene has the lowest vapor pressure (60 torr) at 298 K. Step 4: Relate the lowest vapor pressure to the highest boiling point.
Since toluene has the lowest tendency to vaporize at 298 K, it will require a higher temperature to reach atmospheric pressure compared to the other liquids. Therefore, toluene has the highest boiling point. Final Answer: The final answer is

Official Solution
Correct Option: (4)
To determine the depression of the freezing point when the mole fraction of a non-electrolyte solute is 0.01, we use the formula for depression in freezing point:
ΞT_f = K_f * molality
Where:
ΞT_f is the depression in freezing point.
K_f is the cryoscopic constant of the solvent (for water, K_f = 1.86 K kg mol-1).
Molality (m) is moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
The relationship between mole fraction and molality is given by:
molality = (mole fraction of solute / mole fraction of solvent) * (1000 / Molar mass of solvent)
In our case, the solvent is water with a molar mass of approximately 18 g/mol (or 0.018 kg/mol). Given that the mole fraction of the solute is 0.01, the mole fraction of the solvent is:
Mole fraction of solvent = 1 - mole fraction of solute = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99
Now, calculate the molality:
molality = (0.01 / 0.99) * (1000 / 18)
Calculating the above:
molality β 0.0101 * 55.56 β 0.561
Finally, calculate the depression in freezing point:
ΞT_f = 1.86 * 0.561 β 1.043 K
Thus, the depression of the freezing point is 1.043 K.

The molal depression constant is a property of the solvent and depends on the nature of the solvent, specifically its intermolecular forces. It reflects how the solvent's boiling point is depressed upon the addition of a solute. It is independent of the solute's nature or quantity (as long as the solute does not ionize).

Where: - is the van't Hoff factor (1.075), - is the freezing point depression constant (1.86 K kg mol ), - is the molality (0.5 m). Substituting these values, the calculated value of is 1.156 K.

The following graph is obtained for an ideal solution containing a non-volatile solute. - and -axes represent, respectively
1
mole fraction of solute, vapour pressure of solute
2
mole fraction of solvent, vapour pressure of solution
3
mole fraction of solute, vapour pressure of solution
4
concentration of solution, vapour pressure of solution
Official Solution
Correct Option: (2)
Step 1: Understand the nature of the solution
The solution is ideal and contains a non-volatile solute.
Therefore, only the solvent contributes to the vapour pressure.
Step 2: Recall Raoultβs law
This means vapour pressure of the solution varies linearly with the mole fraction of solvent.
Step 3: Interpret the graph
The graph is a straight line, indicating a linear relation.
Therefore, the -axis must be the mole fraction of solvent.
The -axis must be the vapour pressure of solution.
Final Answer:
mole fraction of solvent, vapour pressure of solution
