JEE PYQ: Solutions And Colligative Properties Question 13
Question 13 - 2020 (02 Sep Shift 1)
An open beaker of water in equilibrium with water vapour is in a sealed container. When a few grams of glucose are added to the beaker of water, the rate at which water molecules:
(1). (leaves the vapour increases)
(2). (leaves the solution increases)
(3). (leaves the solution decreases)
(4). (leaves the vapour decreases)
Show Answer
Answer: (1)
Solution
The vapour pressure of solution will be less than the vapour pressure of pure solvent, so some vapour molecules will get condensed to maintain new equilibrium.
