Which of the following statements are not correct? Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A and B only
- A and D only
- A, B and D only
- A, C and D only
Answer
(3) A, B and D only
Solution
A. For water Kb = 0.52 K kg mol-1 and Kf = 1.86 K kg mol-1 ⇒ Kb < Kf ⇒ A is not correct.
B. For the same molality m: Tb = Kb m and Tf = Kf m; since Kb < Kf ⇒ Tb < Tf ⇒ B is not correct.
C. Osmotic pressure is measured at room temperature and is large even for very dilute solutions, so it is the preferred method for molar masses of proteins and polymers (NCERT) ⇒ C is correct.
D. In benzene, two benzoic acid molecules join through TWO hydrogen bonds to form a cyclic dimer:

The given structure has only one hydrogen bond ⇒ D is not correct.
∴ A, B and D are not correct.
