d. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

(i) Assertion: Molarity of a solution in liquid state changes with temperature.

Reason: The volume of a solution changes with change in temperature.

(ii).Assertion: When a solution is separated from the pure solvent by a semi- permeable membrane, the solvent
molecules pass through it from pure solvent side to the solution side.
Reason: Diffusion of solvent occurs from a region of high concentration solution to a region of low concentration
solution.

from Raoults law.
Reason: Solution which show negative deviation are accompanied by decrease in volume.

pass through it from the pure solvent side to the solution side.

Reason: Diffusion of solvent occurs from a region of high concentration solution to a region of low concentration
solution.
(v) Assertion: When NaCl is added to water a depression in the freezing point is observed.

Reason: The lowering of the vapour pressure of a solution causes depression at the freezing point.
(vi) Assertion: When methyl alcohol is added to water, the boiling point of water increases.

Reason : At high altitude there is less oxygen in the air..

3. CASE STUDY

Scuba divers must cope with high concentrations of dissolved gases while breathing air at high pressure underwater.
Increased pressure increases the solubility of atmospheric gases in blood. When the divers come towards surface, the
pressure gradually decreases. This releases the dissolved gases and leads to the formation of bubbles of nitrogen in
the blood. This blocks capillaries and creates a medical condition known as bends, which are painful and dangerous
to life. To avoid bends, as well as the toxic effects of high concentrations of nitrogen in the blood, the tanks used by
scuba divers are filled with air diluted with helium, nitrogen, and oxygen.

Answer the following questions by choosing the most appropriate option:

(i) . Scuba divers carry the cylinder consisting the mixture of gases diluted in air

a). O2, He, CO2 b). O2, He, N2 c). O2, He, Ne d) O2, Ar, N2

(ii) The people living longer at high altitudes suitably suffer from the disease known as :

a) High blood pressure b). Breathlessness c). suffocation d). Anoxia

(iii) Soft drinks are prepared by dissolution of CO2, by applying more pressure, this can be understood by
a). Daltons law b) Charles law c) Henrys law d) Avogadro law

(iv) What is the effect of temperature on solubility of gases in liquids.

a). No effect b). Increase in temperature decreases solubility
c). Increase in temperature increases solubility d). It cannot be correlated
(v) If scuba divers do not carry the proper diving device along with appropriate cylinder containing suitable mixture
of required gases, meant for breathing support, when they come to surface they experience

a). Blood clots b). Scratches on the skin c). Burst capillaries d). causes bends
