Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A. For water, magnitude of is more than the magnitude of .
B. The elevation in boiling point of water when a non-volatile solute is added to it is larger in magnitude than its depression in freezing point.
C. Osmotic pressure measurement is preferred over any other colligative property to determine molar mass of proteins and polymers.
D. The dimerised form of benzoic acid in benzene is
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA and B only
- BA and D only
- CA, B and D only
- DA, C and D only
Correct answer
C. A, B and D only
Step-by-step solution
For water, the molal elevation constant and the molal depression constant . Thus, . Statement A is incorrect.
For a solution with a given molality of a non-volatile solute, the elevation in boiling point is and the depression in freezing point is . Since , it follows that . Statement B is incorrect.
Osmotic pressure measurement is preferred for determining the molar mass of macromolecules such as proteins and polymers because the measurement is done at room temperature and the magnitude of osmotic pressure is significant even for very dilute solutions. Statement C is correct.
In benzene, benzoic acid undergoes dimerization through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, forming a cyclic dimer with two hydrogen bonds. The structure given in statement D represents a linear association with only one hydrogen bond. Statement D is incorrect.
Therefore, statements A, B, and D are incorrect.
