JEE PYQ: Solutions And Colligative Properties Question 22
Question 22 - 2020 (07 Jan Shift 2)
Two open beakers one containing a solvent and the other containing a mixture of that solvent with a non volatile solute are together sealed in a container. Over time:
(1). (the volume of the solution increases and the volume of the solvent decreases)
(2). (the volume of the solution decreases and the volume of the solvent increases)
(3). (the volume of the solution and the solvent does not change)
(4). (the volume of the solution does not change and the volume of the solvent decreases)
Show Answer
Answer: (1)
Solution
Vapour pressure lowering in the solution beaker causes solvent to evaporate and condense into the solution.
