14.) Assertion: If a liquid solute more volatile than the solvent is added to the solvent,the vapour
pressure of the solution may increase i.e., ps>po .
Reason: In the presence of a more volatile liquid solute, only the solute will form thevapours and
solvent will not.
15.) Assertion: If one component of a solution obeys Raoult’s law over a certainrange of composition,
the other component will not obey Henry’s law in that range.
Reason: Raoult’s law is a special case of Henry’s law

(B) Assertion and Reason both are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(C) Assertion is true, Reason is false.
(D) Assertion is false, Reason is true.

18 Assertion: When a solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semi-permeable membrane, the solvent
molecules passed through it from pure solvent side to the solution side.
Reason: Diffusion of solvent occurs from a region of low concentration solution to a region of high
concentration of solution.
(A) Both Assertion and Reason are true and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
(B) Assertion and Reason both are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(C) Assertion is true, Reason is false.
(D) Assertion is false, Reason is true.

 19. Assertion: Reverse osmosis is used in the desalination of sea water.
Reason:When pressure more than osmotic pressure is applied, pure water is squeezed out of
The sea water through membrane.
20. Assertion:- When a cell is placed in hypertonic solution, it shrinks.
Reason:- Reverse osmosis is used for desalination of water.
21. Assertion:- Reverse osmosis does not remove oxygen and carbon dioxide gases.

hence used as antifreeze
Reason: Heat must be removed from the water to make it freeze.
24 .Assertion: Molecular mass of benzoic acid when determined by colligative properties is found high.
Reason: Dimerization of benzoic acid
25 Assertion: Molal Ebullioscopic constant depends upon the nature of solute.
Reason: Molal Ebullioscopic constant depends upon the molar mass of solvent.

26 Assertion: When a solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semi- permeable
