    Vapour pressure of solution containing 6 g of a non-volatile solute in \[180\]g water is 20.0 Torr. If 1 mole water is farther added vapour pressure increases by 0.02. The ratio of vapour pressure of water and molecular weight of non-volatile solute is

    A) 0.2                               

    B) 0.8

    C) 0.4                               

    D) 0.5

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    It is given that on addition of 1 mole \[{{H}_{2}}O\] in case I, V.P. increases \[{{P}_{solution}}=P_{solent}^{{}^\circ }\,\,\,{{X}_{solvent}}\]
    Thus, we shall be having two equations relating above parameters from where \[P_{{{H}_{2}}O}^{o}\] (V.P. of pure water) can be calculated. Solute is non-volatile, hence vapour pressure of solution is
    Let vapour pressure of \[{{H}_{2}}O=P_{{{H}_{2}}O}^{o}\]
    And molecular weight of solute= \[{{\operatorname{m}}_{1}}\]
    Case-1:\[{{P}_{solution}}=20.0\,Torr\],
    \[{{n}_{1}}(solute)=\frac{6}{{{m}_{1}}}mole\]
    \[{{n}_{2}}(solvent)=\frac{180}{18}=10mole\]
    \[\therefore \]\[{{X}_{solvent}}=\left( \frac{10}{10+6/{{m}_{1}}} \right)=\left( \frac{10{{m}_{1}}}{10{{m}_{1}}+6} \right)\]
    \[\therefore \]\[20=P_{{{H}_{2}}O}^{o}\left( \frac{10{{m}_{1}}}{10{{m}_{1}}+6} \right)\]
    \[\therefore \]\[20=P_{{{H}_{2}}O}^{o}\left( \frac{10{{m}_{1}}}{10{{m}_{1}}+6} \right)\]                               ? (i)
    Case-2: \[{{P}_{solution}}=20.02\,Torr,\]
    \[{{n}_{1}}(solute)=\frac{6}{{{m}_{1}}}mole\]
    \[{{n}_{2}}(solution)=10+1=11mole\]
    \[{{X}_{solution}}=\left( \frac{11}{11+6/{{m}_{1}}} \right)=\left( \frac{11{{m}_{1}}}{11{{m}_{1+6}}} \right)\]
    \[\therefore 20.02=P_{{{H}_{2}}O}^{o}\left( \frac{11{{m}_{1}}}{11{{m}_{1}}+6} \right)\]
    Divide Eqn. (ii) by (i)
    \[\frac{20.02}{20.0}=\frac{11}{10}\left( \frac{10{{m}_{1}}+6}{11{{m}_{1}}+6} \right)\]
    \[\frac{20.02}{20.0}=\frac{10{{m}_{1}}+6}{11{{m}_{1}}+6}\]
    This given \[{{\operatorname{m}}_{1}}=54gmo{{l}^{-1}}\]
    Putting value of \[{{m}_{1}}\]into Eqs. (i) or (ii), we get
    \[P_{{{H}_{2}}O}^{o}=20.02Torr\]
    Ratio is \[=20.22/54=0.37\simeq 0.4\]
