(1 ~mol ) each of the following compounds is dissolved in (1 ~L ) of solution. Which will have the largest ( T_b ) value?
Options
- A( HF )
- B( HCl )
- C( HBr )
- D( HI )
Correct answer
D. ( HI )
Step-by-step solution
Bond dissociation energy increases in the order. ( HI < HBr < HCl < HF ) ( HF ) is most stable halogen acid and ( HI ) is the least. Higher the bond dissociation energy, lower is the degree of ionisation. As we know ( T_b=i K_b m ). Hence ( T_b ) value is largest in HI. All colligative properties depend on number of particles.
