JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 6th September Evening Slot - No. 15)

A set of solutions is prepared using 180 g of water as a solvent and 10 g of different nonvolatile solutes A, B and C. The relative lowering of vapour pressure in the presence of these solutes are in the order :

[Given, molar mass of A = 100 g mol–1; B = 200 g mol–1; C = 10,000 g mol–1]
A > C > B
C > B > A
A > B > C
B > C > A

Explanation

Relative lowering in vapour pressure (RLVP)

= $${{P - {P_s}} \over P} = {n \over {n + N}}$$

n $$ \to $$ moles of solute
N $$ \to $$ moles of solvent

$$ \therefore $$ (RLVP)A = $${{{{10} \over {100}}} \over {{{10} \over {100}} + {{180} \over {18}}}}$$

(RLVP)B = $${{{{10} \over {200}}} \over {{{10} \over {200}} + {{180} \over {18}}}}$$

and (RLVP)C = $${{{{10} \over {10000}}} \over {{{10} \over {10000}} + {{180} \over {18}}}}$$

$$ \therefore $$ (RLVP)A > (RLVP)B > (RLVP)C

So, A > B > C
