JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 -1. Solution and colligative properties

Two open beakers one containing a solvent and the other containing a mixture of that solvent with a non volatile solute are together sealed in a container. Over time

  1. A The volume of the solution does not change and the volume of the solvent decreases
  2. B The volume of the solution decrease and the volume of the solvent decreases
  3. C The volume of the solution increase and the volume of the solvent decreases
  4. D The volume of the solution and the solvent does not change
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The volume of the solution increase and the volume of the solvent decreases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The pure solvent solution will try to maintain higher vapour pressure in the sealed container and in return the solvent vapour molecules will condense in the solution of non-volatile solute as it maintains an equilibrium with lower vapour pressure. (Lowering of vapour pressure…
