WORKSHEET
TOPIC: RLVP, ELEVATION IN BP
1) Give reasons :
a) Cooking is faster in pressure cooker than in a cooking pan.
b) Elevation of boiling point of 1 M KCl solution is nearly double than that of 1 M sugar
solution.
2) 30 g of urea (M = 60 g mol-1) is dissolved in 846 g of water. Calculate the vapour
pressure of water for this solution if the vapour pressure of pure water at 298 K is 23·8
mm Hg.
3) What are colligative properties? Write the colligative property that is used to find the
molecular mass of macromolecules.
4) A solution is prepared by dissolving 10g of non-volatile solute in 200g of water. It has a
vapour pressure of 31.84 mm Hg at 308K. Calculate the molar mass of the solute.
(Vapour pressure of pure water at 308K = 32 mm Hg)
5) 18 g of glucose (M=180 g/mol) is dissolved in 1 kg of water in a saucepan. At what
temperature will this solution boil?
6) Calculate the boiling point of a solution prepared by adding 15.00 g of NaCl to 250.0 g of
water. (Kb for water=0.52 K kg mol-1)
7) A solution containing 8 g of a substance in 100 g of diethyl ether boils at 36.86 °C, where
as pure ether boils at 36.60 °C. Determine the molecular mass of the solute.
(Kb for ether=2.02 K kg mol-1)
