    Which of the following is observed when some solvent is added to a dilute solution of a non-volatile solute?

    A)  Increase of vapour pressure       

    B)  Depression of freezing point       

    C)  Elevation of boiling point

    D)  Increase of osmotic pressure

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    According to Roults law, for a solution of non-volatile solute. \[{{P}_{\text{solution}}}={{P}_{\text{solvent}}}\times {{X}_{\text{solvent}}}\] where, \[{{X}_{\text{solvent}}}=\] the mole fraction of solvent Hence, with the addition of some solvent, the mole-fraction of solvent increase and consequently the vapour-pressure of solution also increase.
