Given below are two statements : Given : Molar mass of C, H, O, Cl are 12, 1, 16 and 35.5 g mol-1, respectively In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer
(1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Solution
Statement I: Take 100 g of solution ⇒ 30 g methanol + 70 g CCl4
nCH3OH = 3032 = 0.9375 mol
nCCl4 = 70154 = 0.4545 mol ( MCCl4 = 12 + 4 35.5 = 154 g mol-1)
xCCl4 = 0.45450.9375 + 0.4545 = 0.45451.392 0.33 ⇒ Statement I is true.
Statement II: Methanol molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. CCl4 molecules get in between them and break these hydrogen bonds, so solute–solvent attractions are weaker than in the pure liquids.
⇒ Molecules escape more easily, vapour pressure is higher than predicted by Raoult's law ⇒ positive deviation ⇒ Statement II is true.
Answer: (1)
