Additional Questions -II based on Chapter-1 Solution
Given below are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Select the most
appropriate answer from the options given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
1. Assertion (A): When NaCl is added to water a depression in freezing point is observed.
Reason (R): The lowering of vapour pressure of a solution causes depression in the freezing point.
2. Assertion (A): Azeotropic mixtures are formed only by non-ideal solutions and they may have boiling
points either greater than both the components or less than both the components.
Reason (R): The composition of the vapour phase is same as that of the liquid phase of an azeotropic
mixture.
3. Assertion (A): Molarity of a solution in liquid state changes with temperature.
Reason (R): The volume of a solution changes with change in temperature.
4. Assertion (A): Molecular mass of benzoic acid when determined by colligative properties is found
high.
Reason (R): Dimerization of benzoic acid.
