- Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Answer
(1) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Solution
Statement I: Kf = R M1 Tf2 fusH (M1 = molar mass of solvent in kg mol-1)
fusS = fusHTf
Kf = M1 R Tf Sfus Statement I is correct.
Statement II: As per NCERT, Kf (benzene) = 5.12 K kg mol-1 and Kf (water) = 1.86 K kg mol-1.
Kf for benzene is greater than that for water Statement II is incorrect.
Answer: (1)
