Q.
At a constant temperature, which of the following aqueous solutions will have the maximum vapour pressure? ( Molecular weight :NaCl=58.5,H2(SO)4=98.0g(mol)−1)
One molar (1M) aqueous solution is more concentrated than one molal aqueous solution of the same solute. In solution, one molecule of H2SO4 provides three ions. While one molecule of NaCl provides two ions. Hence, vapour pressure of solution of NaCl is higher (as it gives less ions). Therefore, 1molalNaCl will have the maximum vapour pressure. Vapour pressure is inversely proportional to concentration of solution.
