Assertion: The pressure exerted by the vapour of a liquid at equilibrium at a given temperature is called its vapour pressure. Reason: If a nonvolatile solute is added to a solvent to give a solution, the vapour pressure of the solution is found to be greater than the vapour pressure of the pure solvent.

Water boils at high temperature, taken in a pressure cooker. Explain?

What is the influence of added non-volatile solute on the boiling point of solvent ?

At 20^@C , the vapour pressure of diethyl ether is 442mm. When 6.4g. of a non-volatile solute is dissolved in 50g. of ether, the vapour pressure falls to 410mm. The Molecular weight of the solute is

What happens to the vapour pressure of a liquid when a non-volatile solute is dissolved in it ?

Assertion: Elevation in boiling point is inversely proportional to lowering of vapour pressure for dilute solutions. Reason: Lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to mole fraction of solvent.

At a given temperature (a) Vapour pressure of a solution containing nonvolatile solute is proportional to mole fraction of solvent (b) Lowering of vapour pressure of solution containing nonvolatile solute is proportional to mole fraction of solute (c) Relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to mole fraction of solute

As the water at boiling point changes to vapour its temperature -

Assertion:Ethylene glycol is added to water and used as antifreeze in the radiators of auto-mobiles. Reason: Addition of ethylene glycol lowers the freezing point of water.
