(c) If urea associates to form dimers (10%), calculate new ΔTb


Section E – Case Study (4 Marks)

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions:

When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, vapour pressure decreases, leading to elevation in boiling point and depression in freezing point. These are colligative properties and depend on the number of solute particles.


  1. Why are colligative properties independent of nature of solute? (1 mark)

  2. What happens to boiling point when vapour pressure decreases? (1 mark)

  3. Explain why NaCl shows greater effect than glucose in colligative properties. (2 marks)

VEDANT IGNITE TEST SERIES – ANSWER KEY

Class 12 – Chemistry (CBSE)
Chapter 1: Solutions | Marks: 30


Section A – MCQs + Assertion Reason (1 × 7 = 7 Marks)

MCQs

  1. (d) 1% CaCl₂
    → Highest number of particles (i ≈ 3)

  2. (b) gases with low solubility

  3. (b) A–B interactions < A–A, B–B

  4. (b) < 1

  5. (b) number of solute particles


Assertion–Reason

  1. (a) Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation

  2. (a) Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation


Marking Scheme:
+1 mark each correct answer


Section B – Short Answer (2 × 4 = 8 Marks)


1. Azeotropes

Azeotropes are mixtures having constant boiling point and composition.

Positive deviation forms minimum boiling azeotrope.

Example: Ethanol + Water

Marks:
Definition (1) + Type (1) + Example (1)


2. Osmotic Pressure (Macromolecules)

  • Measured at room temperature → no decomposition

  • Large values even for dilute solutions

  • Very accurate for high molar mass

Marks:
Any 2–3 valid points = 2 marks


3. Vapour Pressure Numerical

Given:
P⁰ = 32 mm Hg
P = 31.84 mm Hg

Relative lowering:

(P⁰ − P) / P⁰ = (32 − 31.84) / 32
= 0.16 / 32
= 0.005

Formula:

(P⁰ − P) / P⁰ = n₂ / (n₁ + n₂)

Moles solvent (water):
= 200 / 18 = 11.11 mol

Assuming dilute solution:
n₂ ≈ 0.005 × 11.11
= 0.0555 mol

Molar mass = 10 / 0.0555
= 180 g mol⁻¹


4. Henry’s Law

p = KH × x

As pressure increases → mole fraction increases → solubility increases


Marking Scheme:

  • Formula/concept: 1 mark

  • Calculation/explanation: 1 mark


Section C – Medium Answer (3 × 2 = 6 Marks)


1. Freezing Point Depression

Given:
ΔTf = 0.372 K

Formula:
ΔTf = Kf × m

m = 0.372 / 1.86 = 0.2 mol kg⁻¹

Mass solvent = 100 g = 0.1 kg

Moles solute = 0.2 × 0.1 = 0.02 mol

Molar mass = 1 / 0.02
= 50 g mol⁻¹


2. NaCl Abnormal Molar Mass

(a) Reason:
NaCl dissociates into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ → increases particles

(b) i = 1 + α(n − 1)

= 1 + 0.8(2 − 1)
= 1.8


Marking Scheme (each 3 marks):

  • Concept: 1 mark

  • Formula: 1 mark

  • Answer: 1 mark


Section D – Long Answer (5 Marks)

Given:
Mass urea = 5 g
Molar mass = 60

Moles = 5 / 60 = 0.0833 mol

Mass solvent = 250 g = 0.25 kg


(a) Molality

m = 0.0833 / 0.25
= 0.333 mol kg⁻¹


(b) ΔTb (normal)

ΔTb = Kb × m × i

= 0.52 × 0.333 × 1
= 0.173 K


(c) Association (10%)

For dimerization:

i = 1 − α/2

= 1 − 0.1/2
= 0.95

ΔTb = 0.52 × 0.333 × 0.95
= 0.164 K


Marking Scheme:

  • Each part: 1–2 marks

  • Correct formula + answer required


Section E – Case Study (4 Marks)


1. Why independent of nature?

Because they depend only on number of solute particles, not their identity. ✔ (1 mark)


2. Effect on boiling point

Decrease in vapour pressure → boiling point increases ✔ (1 mark)


3. NaCl vs Glucose

  • NaCl dissociates into 2 ions → more particles

  • Glucose does not dissociate

Hence NaCl shows greater colligative effect ✔✔ (2 marks)


Final Evaluation Notes

  • Allow step marking

  • Minor rounding acceptable

  • Units compulsory

  • Concept-based answers acceptable if correct
