1. The pressure that a single component in a gaseous mixture would exert if it existed
alone in the same volume as the mixture and at the same temperature as the mixture is
referred to as.
a) Absolute pressure
b) Partial pressure
c) Total pressure of a gas mixture
d) None of the mentioned
2. When two perfect solutions with volume V each are combined, what is the volume of
the solution as a result?
a) V
b) 2V
c) Greater than 2V
d) Less than 2V
3. A solution made up of numerous components in which each component’s property is
the weighted sum of its separate properties. The answer is
a) Ideal Solution
b) Non-Ideal solution
c) Real Solution
d) None of the mentioned
4. What is an example of camphor in N2 gas?
a) Solid in gas solution
b) Gas in gas solution
c) Solid in liquid solution
d) Liquid in gas solution
Directions: These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and
Reason. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the
following four responses.
a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the
Assertion.
b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the
Assertion.
c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
5. Assertion: If a liquid solute more volatile than the solvent is added to the solvent, the
vapour pressure of the solution may increase i.e., ps > po.
Reason: In the presence of a more volatile liquid solute, only the solute will form the
vapours and solvent will not.
6. Assertion: Azeotropic mixtures are formed only by non-ideal solutions and they may
have boiling points either greater than both the components or less than both the
components.
Reason: The composition of the vapour phase is same as that of the liquid phase of an
azeotropic mixture.
7. Assertion: When methyl alcohol is added to water, boiling point of water increases.
Reason: When a volatile solute is added to a volatile solvent elevation in boiling point
is observed.
8. Assertion: When a solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semi- permeable
membrane, the solvent molecules pass through it from pure solvent side to the solution
side
Reason: Diffusion of solvent occurs from a region of high concentration solution to a
region of low concentration solution.

9. Distinguish between the terms molality and molarity. Under what conditions are the
molarity and molality of a solution nearly the same?
10. Explain why a solution of chloroform and acetone shows negative deviation from
Raoult's law.
11. The partial pressure of ethane over a solution containing 6.56×10−3g of ethane is 1 bar.
If the solution contains 5×10−2g of ethane, then what will be the partial pressure of gas?
12. 18 g of glucose, C6H12O6, is dissolved in 1 kg of water in a saucepan. At what temperature will
the water boil (1.013 bar pressure)? Kb for water is 0.52 K kg mol−1
13. A 1.00 molal aqueous solution of trichloroacetic acid (CCl3COOH) is heated to its
boiling point. The solution has the boiling point of 100.18oC. Determine the van't Hoff
factor for trichloroacetic acid. (Kb for water = 0.512 K kg mol−1)
