Given below are two statements:
Given: Molar mass of C, H, O, Cl are 12,1,1612, 1, 16 and 35.535.5 g mol−1^{-1}, respectively.
Statement I: In 30%30\% (w/w) solution of methanol in CCl4_4 (at T K), the mole fraction of CCl4_4 is equal to 0.330.33.
Statement II: Mixture of methanol and CCl4_4 shows positive deviation from Raoult's law.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer

A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step solution

Statement I:
30%30\% (w/w) solution of methanol in CCl4_4 means 3030 g of methanol is present in 7070 g of CCl4_4.

Molar mass of methanol (CH3_3OH) =12+4×1+16=32= 12 + 4 \times 1 + 16 = 32 g mol−1^{-1}
Molar mass of CCl4=12+4×35.5=154_4 = 12 + 4 \times 35.5 = 154 g mol−1^{-1}

Moles of methanol =3032=0.9375= \dfrac{30}{32} = 0.9375 mol
Moles of CCl4=70154=0.4545_4 = \dfrac{70}{154} = 0.4545 mol

Mole fraction of CCl4=0.45450.9375+0.4545=0.45451.392≈0.326≈0.33_4 = \dfrac{0.4545}{0.9375 + 0.4545} = \dfrac{0.4545}{1.392} \approx 0.326 \approx 0.33
Thus, Statement I is true.

Statement II:
In pure methanol, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding. On adding CCl4_4, its molecules come between methanol molecules and break the hydrogen bonds. This decreases the intermolecular attractive forces, leading to an increase in vapour pressure. Hence, the mixture shows a positive deviation from Raoult's law.
Thus, Statement II is true.

Both Statement I and Statement II are true.

Answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true
