The mole fraction of the solvent in the solution of a non-volatile solute is 0.980. The relative lowering of vapour pressure is :

Why is boiling point of a solvent elevated upon the addition of a non-volatile solute ?

If a non-volatile solute is dissolved in a volatile solvent relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to

Assertion:Lowering of vapour pressure is not dependent on the number of species present in the solution. Reason : Lowering of vapour pressure and relative lowering of vapour pressure are colligative properties

Why is freezing point depressed when a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent ?

Why Boiling point of water is increased on addition of Sodium Chloride into it ?

Vapour pressure of a solvent containing nonvolatile solute is:

STATEMENT-1 : For solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of each component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction. STATEMENT-2 : Always there will be lowering of vapour pressure on addition of non-volatile solute to a solvent. STATEMENT-3 : If there is dissociation of non-volatile then the V.P. of solution increases.

Assertion : Vapour pressure of solvent increases when solvent B is added. Reason : B is more volatile therefor vapour pressure of B is greater than of A.

Assertion : When one solvent mixed with other solvent, vapour pressure of one increases an decreases. Reason : When any solute added into solvent, vapour pressure of solvent decreases
