Q. In three beakers labelled as $(A)$, $(B)$ and $(C)$, $100\, mL$ of water, $100 \,mL$ of $1 \,M$ solution of glucose in water and $100 \,mL$ of $0.5\, M$ solution of glucose in water are taken respectively and kept at same temperature.

Which of the following statements is correct?

Solutions

Solution:

Vapour pressure of a solution containing non-volatile solute is less than that of the pure solvent. The decrease in vapour pressure depends upon the quantity of non-volatile solute present in it. Hence, vapour pressure of $A > C > B$.
