Calculate the relative lowering of vapour pressure of solution containing 0.56 g nonvolatile solute in 100 g water [ molar mass of solute \(=60 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) ]

  1. A \(0.0024\)
  2. B \(0.0017\)
  3. C \(0.0120\)
  4. D \(0.0221\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.0017\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{\Delta P}{P^0} = \frac{n_{solute}}{n_{solute} + n_{solvent}} = \frac{0.56/60}{0.56/60 + 100/18} = 0.0017 \)
