Assertion $(A)$: The vapour pressure of $0.1 \ M$ sugar solution is less than that of $0.1 \ M$ $KCl$ solution.
Reason $(R)$: Lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to the number of particles of non-volatile solute present in the solution.
The correct answer is

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$
  • C
    $(A)$ is correct but $(R)$ is not correct
  • D
    $(A)$ is not correct but $(R)$ is correct

Vapour pressure of $CCl_{4}$ at $25\,^{\circ} C$ is $143\, mm\, Hg$. $0.5\, g$ of a non-volatile solute (mol. wt. $65$) is dissolved in $100\, mL$ of $CCl_{4}$. Find the vapour pressure of the solution. (Density of $CCl_{4} = 1.58\, g / cm^{3}$)

$X$ is a non-volatile solute and $Y$ is a volatile solvent. The following vapour pressures are observed by dissolving $X$ in $Y$ at different concentrations:
| $X / \text{mol L}^{-1}$ | $Y / \text{mm of Hg}$ |
| :--- | :--- |
| $0.10$ | $p_1$ |
| $0.25$ | $p_2$ |
| $0.01$ | $p_3$ |
The correct order of vapour pressures is:

Assertion : If a liquid solute more volatile than the solvent is added to the solvent,the vapour pressure of the solution may increase i.e.,$p_s > p^o$.
Reason : In the presence of a more volatile liquid solute,only the solute will form the vapours and solvent will not.

The graph between vapour pressure and mole fraction of the solvent for an ideal solution is:

The vapour pressure of an aqueous solution of methanol is:
