10. 0.05M CuSO4 when treated with 0.01M K2Cr2O7 gives green colour solution of Cu2Cr207. The two solutions are seperated as shown below: [SPM: Semi permeable membrane].                                                                                          Jee main 2024



JEE Main 2024 Chemistry Question: CuSO4 and K2Cr2O7 Reaction Across Semipermeable Membrane

Due to osmosis:
(a)Molarity of K2Cr2O7 solution is lowered . 
(b)Green colour formation observed on side Y. 
(c)Molarity of CuSO4 solution is lowered. 
(d)Green colour formation observed on side X. 


Answer. (c)Molarity of CuSO4 solution is lowered.

Osmosis leads to the net movement of water molecule from low osmotic pressure to high osmotic pressure. Since the iM value of 0.05M CuSO4 solution is higher hence it has higher osmotic pressure so the water moves towards CuSO4 solution leads to drop of its molarity. The solute molecules do not cross S.P.M. via osmosis.

 (b) iA<iB<iC
 (c) iA>iB>iC
 (d) iA=iB=iC

13. The solution from the following with highest depression in freezing point/ lowering freezing point is.                                                                                                                               Jee main 2024


 (a) 180 gram of Acetic Acid dissolved in Benzene
  
 (b) 180 gram of Acetic Acid dissolved in water
 (c) 180 gram of benzoic acid dissolved in Benzene
 (d) 180 gram of glucose dissolved in water


Answer. (b) 180 gram of Acetic Acid dissolved in water

📌 Explanation:
Acetic acid ionizes in water, increasing the number of particles in solution, which leads to greater depression in freezing point. In the other options, either no ionization or association (like dimerization) occurs.

🧠 More particles = more freezing point lowering!



14. What happens to freezing point of benzene when small quantity of naphthalene is added to benzene. 
                                                                                     Jee main 2024

 (a) Increases 
 (b) decreases 
 (c) remains unchanged 
 (d) first decreases and then increases

Answer. (b) decreases

📌 Explanation:

On adding naphthalene (a non-volatile solute) to benzene (solvent), a solution forms, and due to colligative properties, freezing point decreases ❄️📉.

🧪 This is called freezing point depression, a classic example of colligative effect!


15. A solution of two miscible liquids show negative division from Raolt's law will have:                                                Jee main 2024  

 (a) Increased vapour pressure, increased boiling point 
 (b) increased vapour pressure, decreased boiling point 
 (c) decreased vapour pressure, decreased boiling point 
 (d) decreased vapour pressure, increased boiling point


Answer. (d) decreased vapour pressure, increased boiling point

📌 Explanation:

In negative deviation from Raoult's Law:

  • Strong intermolecular attractions 💞 between components lead to

  • Lower vapour pressure ⬇️ than expected

  • Which results in higher boiling point 🌡️⬆️

🧪 This is a classic example of non-ideal solutions showing stronger interactions!
