JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 10th April Morning Slot - No. 9)

At room temperature, a dilute solution of urea is prepared by dissolving 0.60 of urea in 360 g of water. If the vapour pressure of pure water at this temperature is 35 mm Hg, lowering of vapour pressure will be. (molar mass of urea = 60 g mol–1)
0.031 mmHg
0.017 mmHg
0.028 mmHg
0.027 mmHg

Explanation

Given that,

wsolute = wurea = 0.6 gm

wsolvent = wH2O = 360 gm

po = 35

We know,

lowering of vapour pressure

$$\Delta $$p = xsolute $$ \times $$ po

= $${{{n_{urea}}} \over {{n_{urea}} + {n_{{H_2}O}}}}$$ $$ \times $$ po

= $${{{{0.6} \over {60}}} \over {{{0.6} \over {60}} + {{360} \over {18}}}}$$ $$ \times $$ 35

= $${{{{10}^{ - 2}}} \over {20}} \times 35$$

= 0.017
