Worked practice questions

Colligative properties of a dilute solution depend on:

  1. The pressure only
  2. The temperature only
  3. The number of solute particles, not their nature
  4. The chemical nature of the solute
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. The number of solute particles, not their nature

By definition, colligative properties (relative lowering of vapour pressure, boiling-point elevation, freezing-point depression, osmotic pressure) depend on how many solute particles are dissolved, not what those particles are. One mole of glucose and one mole of urea cause the same boiling-point elevation in 1 kg of water. With electrolytes like NaCl that dissociate into 2 ions, the effective particle count is multiplied by the van't Hoff factor $i$ (close to 2 for NaCl in dilute solution).

$36$ g of glucose ($M = 180$ g/mol) is dissolved in $200$ g of water. The molality of the solution is:

  1. $0.5$ mol/kg
  2. $2.0$ mol/kg
  3. $0.1$ mol/kg
  4. $1.0$ mol/kg
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. $1.0$ mol/kg

Moles of glucose: $\dfrac{36}{180} = 0.2$ mol. Mass of solvent in kilograms: $\dfrac{200}{1000} = 0.2$ kg. Molality: $m = \dfrac{0.2}{0.2} = 1.0$ mol/kg. Note the use of solvent mass (not solution mass) in the denominator: that distinction separates molality from molarity. For very dilute aqueous solutions the two are numerically close, but they diverge for concentrated solutions.

The van't Hoff factor $i$ for a $0.01$ M aqueous solution of NaCl, assuming complete dissociation, is approximately:

  1. $1$
  2. $0.5$
  3. $2$
  4. $3$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. $2$

NaCl dissociates in water: $\mathrm{NaCl} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na^+} + \mathrm{Cl^-}$. One formula unit produces two particles in solution. Van't Hoff factor $i = \dfrac{\text{actual moles of particles}}{\text{moles of solute formula units}}$. For complete dissociation of NaCl, $i = 2$. In reality, ion pairing slightly reduces $i$ below the theoretical value, especially at higher concentrations. At dilute $0.01$ M the assumption of complete dissociation is reasonable, and the experimental $i$ is close to $1.9$. The question asks for the theoretical value assuming complete dissociation, so 2 is the cleanest answer. Compare with $\mathrm{CaCl_2}$: dissociates into 3 ions, so $i = 3$ (option D) — common trap.
