$(i) \ NaCl$
$(ii) \ K_2SO_4$
$(iii) \ Na_3PO_4$
$(iv) \ \text{glucose}$
Assuming $100 \%$ ionization of the electrolytes,the relative decrease in vapor pressure will be in the order:

  • A
    $iv < i < ii < iii$
  • B
    $iv < iii < ii < i$
  • C
    $iv < i < ii < iii$
  • D

$X$ is a non-volatile solute and $Y$ is a volatile solvent. The following vapour pressures are observed by dissolving $X$ in $Y$ at different concentrations:
| $X / \text{mol L}^{-1}$ | $Y / \text{mm of Hg}$ |
| :--- | :--- |
| $0.10$ | $p_1$ |
| $0.25$ | $p_2$ |
| $0.01$ | $p_3$ |
The correct order of vapour pressures is:

Vapour pressure of a pure solvent is $550 \ mm$ of $Hg$. By addition of a non-volatile solute,it decreases to $510 \ mm$ of $Hg$. Calculate the mole fraction of the solute in the solution.

Among acetone,ether,and ethanol,which one will have the maximum and which one will have the minimum vapor pressure?

Calculate the relative lowering of vapour pressure if the vapour pressure of the pure solvent and the vapour pressure of the solution at $25^{\circ} C$ are $32 \ mm \ Hg$ and $30 \ mm \ Hg$ respectively.

$A$ solution of liquids $A$ and $B$ is given. The mole fraction of $A$ in the vapor phase is $x_1$ and in the liquid phase is $x_2$. If $P_A^o$ and $P_B^o$ are the vapor pressures of pure $A$ and $B$ respectively,then the total vapor pressure $P_{total}$ will be:
