Q

The addition of potassium chloride (KCI), a nonvolatile solute to water,

A. increases the boiling point of water
B. decreases the boiling point of water
C. increases the freezing point of water
D. keeps the freezing point of water constant
E. increases the vapor pressure of water

A

A. increases the boiling point of water

  • A. Increases the boiling point of water. True. The addition of a nonvolatile solute like KCl elevates the boiling point of the solvent (water) due to boiling point elevation. This occurs because the solute disrupts the ability of the solvent molecules to escape into the vapor phase, requiring a higher temperature to reach the boiling point.
  • B. Decreases the boiling point of water. False. As mentioned, the boiling point increases when a solute is added, not decreases.
  • C. Increases the freezing point of water. False. The addition of a solute lowers the freezing point of water, a phenomenon known as freezing point depression. The presence of solute particles interferes with the formation of the solid structure of ice, requiring a lower temperature to freeze.
  • D. Keeps the freezing point of water constan. False. The freezing point does not remain constant; it is lowered by the presence of the solute.
  • E. Increases the vapor pressure of water. False. The addition of a nonvolatile solute decreases the vapor pressure of the solvent. This is because the solute particles occupy space at the surface of the liquid, reducing the number of solvent molecules that can escape into the vapor phase.

Q

Which of the following is buffer?

A. NaCl/NH4Cl
B. NH3/NH4Cl
C. NH3/CH3COOH
D. CH3COOH/NaOH

A

B. NH3/NH4Cl

  • A. NaCl/NH4Cl: This is not a buffer because NaCl is a neutral salt and does not provide a weak acid or weak base.
  • B. NH3/NH4Cl: This is a buffer. NH3 is a weak base, and NH4Cl provides the conjugate acid (NH4⁺).
  • C. NH3/CH3COOH: This is not a buffer because it consists of a weak base (NH3) and a different weak acid (acetic acid), which does not create a conjugate pair.
  • D. CH3COOH/NaOH: This is not a buffer as well. While acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid, NaOH is a strong base that would neutralize the acid rather than provide a conjugate base.
