separated out. The remaining aqueous solution registered a vapour pressure of 700 torr at 373 K.
Calculate the mass of ice separated out, if the molar heat of fusion of water is 6 kJ.

Q.23 The freezing point of 0.02 mol fraction solution of acetic acid (A) in benzene (B) is 277.4K. Acetic acid
exists partly as a dimer 2A = A2. Calculate equilibrium constant for the dimerisation. Freezing point of
benzene is 278.4 K and its heat of fusion Hf is 10.042 kJ mol1.

Q.24 The vapour pressure of two pure liquids, A and B that form an ideal solution are 300 and 800 torr
respectively, at temperature T. A mixture of the vapour of A and B for which the mole fraction of A is
0.25 is slowly compressed at temperature T. Calculate
(a) the composition of the first drop of the condensate,
(b) the total pressure when this drop is formed,
(c) the composition of the solution whose normal boiling point is T,
(d) the pressure when only the last bubble of vapour remains, and
(e) the composition of the last bubble.

Q.25 Tritium, T (an isotope of H) combines with fluorine to form weak acid TF, which ionizes to give T+.
Tritium is radioactive and is a –emitter. A freshly prepared aqueous solution of TF has pT (equivalent of
pH) of 1.5 and freezes at –0.3720C. If 600ml of freshly prepared solution were allowed to stand for
24.8 years. Calculate (i) ionization constant of TF. (ii) Number of –particles emitted.
(Given Kf for water = 1.86 kg mol K–1, t1/2 for tritium = 12.4 years)
