Equal amount of solute are dissloved in equal amount of two solvents A and B. The realative lowering of vapour pressure for the solution of A has twice the relative lowering of vapour pressure for solution of B. If MA and MB are molar mass of solvent A and B respectively, then for dilute solution of A and B with solute-

A) MA=MB

B)MA=MB/2

C)MA=4MB

D)MA=2MB

The relative lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to mole fraction of solute in solution.
Suppose the relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution with solvent A is PA.
The relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution with solvent B is PB
The mole fraction of solute in solvent A is XA
​Mole fraction of solute in solution B is XB
​PA = kXA
PB = kXB

​Given that, PA = 2PB
​So, kXA = 2KXB
​Or, XA = 2 XB             ........(1)

XA =Wsolute/MsoluteWsolute/Msolute+Wsolvent A/Msolvent A

XBWsolute/MsoluteWsolute/Msolute+Wsolvent B/Msolvent B

Let the weight of solute and molar mass is 1​
XA = MA/WA
XB = MB/WB
Putting the value of XA and XB in equation 1 we get
 MA/WA = 2 MB/WB 
Given that WA is equal to WB
therefore MA = 2MB
Option D is correct.

How?

  • 0

relative lowering of vapour pressure(x) =k x (molality of solute added(m))

xa=2xb

kma=2kmb

ma=2mb

molality = mass of solute added / (mass of solvent(M))

ma=c/(Ma) (Since the masses of two solute added are same i have taken mass of solute added as constant)

mb=c/(Mb)

Since ma=2mb

c/(Ma)=(2)c/Mb

Hence 2Ma=Mb

Hence option b is correct
