The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect among the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Statement A**: - Statement A claims: "Greater is the lowering in vapor pressure, greater is the boiling point of the solution." - **Explanation**: The boiling point of a solution increases when the vapor pressure decreases. This is because a lower vapor pressure means that more heat is required to reach the boiling point. Therefore, this statement is correct. 2. **Analyzing Statement B**: - Statement B claims: "Greater is the lowering of vapor pressure, greater is the freezing point of the solution." - **Explanation**: This statement is incorrect. In fact, as the vapor pressure decreases, the freezing point of the solution also decreases. Therefore, greater lowering of vapor pressure results in a lower freezing point, making this statement incorrect. 3. **Analyzing Statement C**: - Statement C claims: "At freezing point, the solute and solvent have the same vapor pressure." - **Explanation**: This statement is correct. At the freezing point, the vapor pressures of the solute and solvent become equal, allowing the phase transition to occur. Thus, this statement is correct. 4. **Analyzing Statement D**: - Statement D claims: "The units of molar depression constant (kf) are scaled with molar inverse." - **Explanation**: The molar depression constant (kf) is indeed expressed in terms of molal units (m), which is moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. The relationship ΔTf = kf × m confirms that kf has units that are compatible with the units of molality (m). Therefore, this statement is correct. ### Conclusion: - The incorrect statement is **Statement B**: "Greater is the lowering of vapor pressure, greater is the freezing point of the solution."
