Question:

An aqueous solution of an electrolyte AB has b.pt.of 101.08$^\circ$C. The solute is 100% ionised at b.pt.of water. The f.pt. of the same solution is $-1 -80 ^\circ C. AB (K_bI/K_f = 0.3)$

  • is 100% ionised at f.pt. of solution
  • is 50% ionised at f.pt. of solution
  • behaves as a non-electrolyte at f.pt. of solution
  • forms a dimer at f.pt. of solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$\Delta T_b = 1.08 \, K , \Delta T_f = 1.80 \, K$ $\frac{\Delta T_b}{\Delta T_f} = \frac{i. K_bm}{K_f . m}$ $\frac{\Delta T_b}{\Delta T_f} = \frac{i}{i'} \left(\frac{K_b}{K_f} \right)$ $i'$ = van't-Hoff factor at f.p.t of solution Here $i$ (at b.pt.) = 2 $\frac{1.08}{1.08} = \frac{2}{i'} (0.3)$ $i ' = \frac{2 \times 0.3 \times 1.80}{1.08 }$ = 1 Th is, solute is unionised at $f.pt$. of solution $i.e.$, behaves as a non-electrolyte

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
