Question

g A and B are both non-volatile molecular compounds. Substance A has a greater molar mass than substance B. If 50 g of substance A are dissolved in 250 g of water in one beaker, and 50 g of substance B are dissolved in 250 g of water in another beaker, then which ONE statement below will be true? A) the vapor pressure of solution A will be lower than the vapor pressure of solution B. B) the solution of A will freeze at a lower temperature than the solution of B. C) the two solutions will have the same vapor pressure. D) the boiling point of solution A will be lower than the boiling point of solution B. E) the solution of A will have a higher osmotic pressure than the solution of B.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - option D. the boiling point of solution A will be lower than the boiling point of solution B

Step-by-step explanation:

Colligative properties such as a decrease in the freezing point of the solution, increase in the boiling point of substance, decrease in Lowering of vapor pressure, and other properties depend upon the number of molecules only.

In the given solution the equal amount of two solutions are mixed that is 50 grams however due to the difference in the molecular mass so the atoms present in both solution A and B will be different. It is known that the number of atoms of a substance is inversely proportional to the molecular mass of the particular substance.

As it is given that Solution B has a low molecular mass which means it has a high number of atoms that means its boiling point will be higher than solution A.
