  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(8\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(10\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Relative lowering of vapour pressure, \(\begin{aligned} \frac{p^{\circ}-p_s}{p^{\circ}} & =x_A \\ & =\frac{\frac{w_A}{m_A}}{\frac{w_A}{m_A}+\frac{w_B}{m_B}}\end{aligned}\) (where, \(w_A\) and \(m_A\) are the mass and molar mass of solute and \(w_B\) and \(m_B\) are the mass and…
