- 0.8
- 1.1
- 1.9
- 2.4
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
ΔTf of formic acid = 0.0405°C
Concentration = 0.5 mL/L
and density = 1.05 g/mL
∴ Mass of formic acid in solution = 1.05 × 0.5 g
= 0.525 g
∴ According to Van’t Hoff equation,
ΔT_f=ik_f.m
0.0405=\(\frac{i×1.86×0.525}{46×1}\)
(Assuming mass of 1 L water = kg)
i=\(\frac{0.0405×46}{1.86×0.525}\)=1.9

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:
- Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
- 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.
- Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
