Topic: Solutions Time: 1hour 30 minutes
I. Multiple choice Questions 3x1=3
1. Which of the following is the correct example of solid solution in which the solute in
gas phase?
(a) Copper in gold (b) Camphor in N2 gas (c) H2 in Pd (d) All of these
2. The value of Hendry’s constant,KH is-----
(a) Greater for gases with higher solubility (b) Constant for all gases
(c ) Greater for gases with lower solubility (d) Not related to solubility of gases
3. Which of the following azeotropic solutions has the boiling point less than the
boiling point of the constituent molecules?
(a) CHCl3 & CH3COCH3 (b) CS2 & CH3COCH3 (c) CH3CHO &CS2 (d) All of these
II. Assertion & Reason questions 2x1=2
4. 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.
5. 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.

dissolving 1.0 g of polymer of molar mass 185,000 in 450 mL of water at 37°C.
15. 0.6 mL of Acetic acid having density 1.06g/mL, is dissolved in 1 Litre of water. The
depression in freezing point observed for this strength of acid was 0.02050C.
Calculate the Van’t Hoff factor and the dissociation constant of acid.
