The values of $K_b$ and $K_f$ for water are $0.52 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$ and $1.86 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$ respectively. If the solution boils at $0.78 \, K$ above the boiling point of water,then the freezing point of the solution will be ........ $K$.

Properties such as boiling point,freezing point,and vapour pressure of a pure solvent change when solute molecules are added to get a homogeneous solution. These are called colligative properties. Applications of colligative properties are very useful in day-to-day life. One of its examples is the use of an ethylene glycol and water mixture as an anti-freezing liquid in the radiator of automobiles.
$A$ solution $M$ is prepared by mixing ethanol and water. The mole fraction of ethanol in the mixture is $0.9$.

$(A) \ 380.4 \ K \ (B) \ 376.2 \ K$
$(C) \ 375.5 \ K \ (D) \ 354.7 \ K$
Give the answer for questions $1, 2$ and $3.$

Identify the false statement from the following.

For $0.1 \ M$ solutions of urea and $Al_2(SO_4)_3$,which of the following statements is correct? $(a)$ $i$ for urea is $1$ and $i$ for $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ is $5$. $(b)$ $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ has a higher elevation in boiling point. $(c)$ $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ has a higher depression in freezing point. $(d)$ Urea has a higher vapor pressure.

Assertion : Lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to osmotic pressure of the solution.
Reason : Osmotic pressure is a colligative property.
