Given below are two statements:
Given: Molar mass of C, H, O, Cl are and g mol, respectively.
Statement I: In (w/w) solution of methanol in CCl (at T K), the mole fraction of CCl is equal to .
Statement II: Mixture of methanol and CCl shows positive deviation from Raoult's law.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Given: Molar mass of C, H, O, Cl are and g mol, respectively.
Statement I: In (w/w) solution of methanol in CCl (at T K), the mole fraction of CCl is equal to .
Statement II: Mixture of methanol and CCl shows positive deviation from Raoult's law.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- 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:
(w/w) solution of methanol in CCl means g of methanol is present in g of CCl.
Molar mass of methanol (CHOH) g mol
Molar mass of CCl g mol
Moles of methanol mol
Moles of CCl mol
Mole fraction of CCl
Thus, Statement I is true.
Statement II:
In pure methanol, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding. On adding CCl, 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

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
