ANS: D

3.Which of the following statements is(are) true?

A) The rate of dissolution of a solid in a liquid always increases with increasing temperature.

B) The solubility of a solid in a liquid always increases with increasing temperature.

C) According to Henry's law, the amount of gas dissolved in a solution is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid.

D) Two of these statements are true.

E) All of these statements are true.

P.sI Ask Q1 and Q2 on Chegg before, but the answers are wrong. Thank you for your help.

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 : B) -0.029oC

The depression in freezing point is given as : kf . m

Number of moles of [H+] + [A-] = 1.8 x 10-3M x 2 = 3.6 x 10-3

So number of moles of undissociated acid = 0.014 - (1.8 x 10-3) = 0.0122 mol

total no. of moles = 0.0122 + 3.6 x 10-3 = 0.0158 mol

Molarity = no. of moles of acid / volume of solution in L

= 0.0158 / 1

= 0.0158 M

since here molarity and molality concentrations are equivalent , we will substitute it for the formula given above :

Depression in freezing point = 1.86 x 0.0158

= 0.029o C

Since the freezing point of pure water is 00C , so the freezing point of the solution = 0oC -0.029oC

= - 0.029oC
