Numerical Questions (3 Marks)
8. Calculate the molarity of a solution containing 5.85 g of NaCl in 500 mL of
solution.
9. A solution is prepared by dissolving 5 g of non-volatile solute in 95 g of water. The
vapour pressure of pure water is 25 mm Hg. Calculate the vapour pressure of the
solution.
10. Determine the molar mass of a solute if 2 g of the solute dissolved in 100 g of
water lowers the freezing point by 0.93°C. (Given: Kf for water = 1.86 K kg mol⁻¹).
11. The boiling point of a solution containing 0.5 g of a substance in 100 g of benzene
was found to be 80.2°C. Calculate the molar mass of the solute. (Given: Kb for
benzene = 2.53 K kg mol⁻¹, boiling point of benzene = 80.1°C).
