solute molecules are added to get 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
ethylene glycol and water mixture as anti-freezing liquid in the radiator of automobiles. An aqueous
solution is prepared by mixing a non-volatile solute in water. Freezing point depression constant of
water, Kf =1.86K Kg/mol, and boiling point elevation constant Kb= 0.512 K Kg/mol. Freezing point of
water =273.0K, Freezing point of aqueous solution of non-volatile solute = 272.4K, vapour pressure of
water at 298 K = 23.756 mm of Hg)

Chap 3- Case study -3marks each
Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Case Study 1: The study of the conductivity of electrolyte solutions is
important for the development of electrochemical devices, for the
characterization of the dissociation equilibrium of weak electrolytes, and for
the fundamental understanding of charge transport by ions. The
conductivity of the electrolyte is measured for electrolyte solution with
concentrations in the range of 10 –3 to 10 –1 mol L –1 , as a solution in this range
of concentrations can be easily prepared. The molar conductivity (Λm) of
strong electrolyte solutions can be nicely fit by the Kohlrausch equation.
The molar conductivity of weak electrolytes, on the other hand, is dependent
on the degree of dissociation of the electrolyte. At the limit of a very dilute
acetic acid, 0H+ = 349.0 S cm2 / mol and 0CH3COO- = 39.65 S cm2 / mol

i. Calculate Ʌ∞
Μ of acetic acid

ii. Calculate the degree of dissociation ( ) of acetic acid, if its molar conductivity is 39.05 S cm2

 1. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

The half-life of a reaction is the time required for the concentration of reactant to decrease by
half, i.e.,

[A]t = [A]/2

For first order reaction,

t1/2 = 0.693/k

this means t1/2 is independent of initial concentration. Figure shows that typical variation of
concentration of reactant exhibiting first order kinetics. It may be noted that though the major
portion of the first order kinetics may be over in a finite time, but the reaction will never cease
as the concentration of reactant will be zero only at infinite time.

The following questions are multiple choice question. Choose the most appropriate
answer:

(i) A first order reaction has a rate constant k=3.01 x 10-3 /s. How long it will take to
decompose half of the reactant?

(a) 2.303 s (b) 23.03 s (c) 230.3 s (d) 2303 s

(ii) The rate constant for a first order reaction is 7.0 x 10 -4 s-1. If initial concentration of
reactant is 0.080 M, what is the half-life of reaction?

• 990 s
• 79.2 s
• 12375 s
• 10.10 x 10-4 s
(iii) For the half-life period of a first order reaction, which one of the following statements is
generally false?

b. It is independent of initial concentration.

c. It is independent of temperature.
d. It decreases with the introduction of a catalyst.
e. None of these.

temperature will raise the average kinetic energy of the reactant molecules.

necessary for an effective collision
