    Which of the following can be measured by the Ostwald-Walker dynamic method?

    A)  Relative lowering of vapour pressure

    B)  Lowering of vapour pressure

    C)  Vapour pressure of the solvent

    D)  All of the above

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    By Ostwald-Walker dynamic method, the relative lowering of vapour pressure, lowering of vapour pressure and vapour pressure of the solvent, all can be measured. In this method, the apparatus used, contains two' bulbs: bulb A contains solution and bulb B contains solvent. The loss of weight in bulb B gives the lowering of vapour pressure and total loss of weight in both the tubes gives the vapour pressure of the solvent and         Relative lowering of vapour pressure                 \[=\frac{lowering\text{ }of\text{ }vapour\text{ }pressure}{vapour\text{ }pressure\text{ }of\text{ }solvent}\]
