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

Which of the following statements are not correct?
A. For water, magnitude of \(K_b\) is more than the magnitude of \(K_f\).
B. The elevation in boiling point of water when a non-volatile solute is added to it is larger in magnitude than its depression in freezing point.
C. Osmotic pressure measurement is preferred over any other colligative property to determine molar mass of proteins and polymers.
D. The dimerised form of benzoic acid in benzene is \(C_6H_5-\underset{O}{\overset{O}{\|}}C-OH \cdots\cdots O=\underset{OH}{\overset{|}{C}}-C_6H_5\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A A and B only
  2. B A and D only
  3. C A, B and D only
  4. D A, C and D only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A, B and D only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For water, the molal elevation constant \(K_b = 0.52 \text{ K kg mol}^{-1}\) and the molal depression constant \(K_f = 1.86 \text{ K kg mol}^{-1}\). Thus, \(K_b < K_f\). Statement A is incorrect. For a solution with a given molality \(m\) of a non-volatile solute, the elevation…
