Q1 Calculate (i) molality (ii) molarity (iii) mole fraction of KI if the density of 20% (mass/ mass) aqueous KI is 1.202 gm / mL 

a. 1.45m, 1.51M, 0.0263

b. 1.51m, 1.45M, 0.0263

c. 1.15m, 1.54M, 2.63

d. 11.5m, 15.4M, 26.3 

Ans. b.1.51m, 1.45M, 0.0263

Explanation: Molar mass of KI = 39 + 127 = 166 g mol-1

20% (mass/mass) aqueous solution of KI means 20 g of KI is present in 100 g of solution.

That is,

20 g of KI is present in (100 - 20) g of water = 80 g of water

Therefore, molality of the solution

 = moles of KI/mass of water in Kg  = (20/166)/ 0.08

= 1.506 m

= 1.51 m (approximately)

(b) It is given that the density of the solution = 1.202 g mL-1

mass/ density =Volume of 100 g solution

 100g/ 1.202 gml-1 = 83.19 mL = 83.19 × 10-3 L

Therefore, molarity of the solution = (20/166) / 83.19 × 10-3 L =1.45 M

(c) Moles of KI

Moles of water = 80/18 = 4.44

Therefore, mole fraction of KI = moles of KI/ moles of KI + moles of water = 0.12/0.12 + 4.44= 0.0263


Q2A. Assertion: Mole fraction depends on moles of solution

Ans. a

Q2 dependent on temperature

a. Molarity 

b. Mole fraction

c. Weight percentage

Q2). what is the mole fraction of the solute in a 1.00m aqueous solution

a. 1.770

b. 0.0354

c. 0.0177

d. 0.177

Ans. c. 0.0177

Explanation: 1.00 m aqueous solution means 1 mole of solute in 1 kg of water.

1 kg of water corresponds to  181000​=55.56 moles.

The mole fraction of solute is = 1/ 1+55.561​=0.0177.

Xm =1mole/ 1000g = 0.0177

Q3. How many grams of concentrated nitric acid solution should be used to prepare 250 mL of 2.0M HNO3? The concentrated acid is 70% HNO3.

a. 70.0g conc. HNO3

b. 54.0g conc. HNO3

c. 45.0g conc. HNO3

d. 90.0g conc. HNO3

Ans. c. 45.0g of conc. HNO3

Explanation: Molar Mass of HNO3 = 1+14+48 = 63u

Molarity = Moles of solute/ volume of solution in Litres

2.0 M =2 Moles HNO3/1 L of solution = 0.5 moles HNO3/ 250mL 

2= w x 1000/63 x 250 = w x 63/2

Mass of acid x 70/100 = 63/2

mass of acid = 45g

Q4 can be used as antifreeze in automobile radiators

a. methyl alcohol

b. glycol

c. nitrophenol

d. ethyl alcohol

Ans. b. glycol

Explanation: a 35% (v/v) solution of ethylene glycol is used as an antifreeze in cars for cooling the engine.  At this concentration, the antifreeze lowers the freezing point of water to 255.4 K (-17.6 'C)
