Identify the correct statement

  1. A At the freezing point of a solution containing a non-volatile solute, the vapour pressure of the liquid solvent becomes less than that of the solid solvent
  2. B A hypotonic solution is more concentrated with respect to the other solution separated from it by a semi permeable membrane
  3. C In case of dissociation of solute particles in a solution, the van't Hoff factor is more than unity because the observed molar mass has a lesser value
  4. D The molal boiling point elevation constant for a solvent is directly proportional to its enthalpy of vaporisation

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) In case of dissociation of solute particles in a solution, the van't Hoff factor is more than unity because the observed molar mass has a lesser value

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At the freezing point of a solution, the vapour pressure of the liquid solvent in the solution is equal to the vapour pressure of the pure solid solvent. Thus, statement (A) is incorrect. A hypotonic solution has a lower osmotic pressure and is less concentrated compared to the…
