Question 1: Colligative Properties
The solution of NaCl that is isotonic with blood is:
- A 20%
- B 9%
- C 0.9% (mass/volume), known as saline
- D 0.09%
Answer: C. 0.9% (mass/volume), known as saline
Why: It has the same osmotic pressure as the blood cells.

The solution of NaCl that is isotonic with blood is:
Answer: C. 0.9% (mass/volume), known as saline
Why: It has the same osmotic pressure as the blood cells.
Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute per:
Answer: B. litre of solution
Why: Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution (in litres), not per volume of solvent alone.
When a solute associates in solution, as benzoic acid does in benzene, the van't Hoff factor is:
Answer: D. less than 1
Why: Association reduces the number of particles, so the observed colligative property is smaller and the apparent molar mass is higher.
A mixture of nitric acid and water shows a negative deviation, and its azeotrope:
Answer: C. boils at a higher temperature than either component (maximum boiling azeotrope)
Why: The composition is about 68% nitric acid.
Reverse osmosis is used for the desalination of sea water. It requires applying a pressure that is:
Answer: B. greater than the osmotic pressure of the solution
Why: The pressure forces the solvent through the membrane from the solution side.
The mole fraction of the solvent in a solution is 0.8. If the vapour pressure of the pure solvent is 100 mm Hg, the vapour pressure of the solution is:
Answer: D. 80 mm Hg
Why: Raoult's law: p = x_solvent × p° = 0.8 × 100 = 80 mm Hg.
The van't Hoff factor (i) for a solute that dissociates completely into 3 ions in solution is:
Answer: C. 3
Why: The van't Hoff factor represents the number of particles a solute dissociates into in solution; for complete dissociation into 3 ions, i = 3.
According to Raoult's law, the vapor pressure of a solution containing a non-volatile solute is:
Answer: B. lower than that of the pure solvent
Why: Adding a non-volatile solute lowers the mole fraction of solvent, so by Raoult's law, the solution's vapor pressure is lower than the pure solvent's.
