1) QID: 21490
Look at the plot and the equations for Raoult’s law. Which The vapor pressure of a solution containing a
statement is not correct with respect to Raoult’s law? nonvolatile solute is always less than the vapor pressure
of the pure solvent.
If you increase the nonvolatile solute concentration, the
vapor pressure of the solvent will decrease.
The partial pressure of the solvent, Psolvent, is
maximized when the molar contribution from the solute
is 0.
If you increase the concentration of the solvent,
Xsolvent, the vapor pressure of the solute, Psolute,
increases.
2) QID: 1735
A simple experiment proves Raoult’s law that the presence The volume of the sugar water solution increased.
of solute molecules in a solution lowers the vapor pressure.
Look at the diagram representing a closed system. The volume of the pure water decreased.
You can see that, after time, the pure water in the closed
system evaporated and condensed into the sugar water.
Which statement about this experiment is not true?

3) QID: 21488
Which of the following statements about vapor pressure is It is the pressure exerted by a vapor that is in dynamic
not correct? equilibrium with its liquid in a closed system.
It is a colligative property that can be altered by
changing the concentration of solute in a solution.
A nonvolatile solute is one that does not vaporize. This
means that it does not tend to increase the vapor
pressure of a closed system.
A solution that contains a nonvolatile solute will always
have a higher vapor pressure than the solvent in pure
form (i.e., the pure solvent).
4) QID: 21489
What is Raoult’s law? Raoult’s law states that the vapor pressure of the solvent
in a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction
of the solvent.
Raoult’s law states that atoms naturally attempt to
achieve an octet of electrons in their valence orbitals.
Raoult’s law states that the solubility in a gas is
proportional to the partial pressure of the solute vapor.
Raoult’s law states that PV = nRT for all ideal gases.
5) QID: 21487
An aqueous solution of glucose, in which the mole fraction The two solutions have colligative properties. This is
of glucose solute is 0.01, has the same vapor pressure, because the boiling points and freezing points depend
boiling point, and freezing point as an aqueous solution of on temperature and the vapor pressure depends on the
sucrose, in which the mole fraction of sucrose solute is also amount of solute in the solution.
0.01. Which statement best describes the properties of these The two solutions have colligative properties. This is
two solutions? because the three effects mentioned (vapor pressure,
boiling point, freezing point) depend exclusively on the
number of solute particles in solution.
The two solutions do not have colligative properties.
This is because the solutes are different in each solution.
The two solutions do not have colligative properties.
This is because the solutes in each solution have
different molecular weights.

8) QID: 1740
Look at the two plots showing the deviations in Raoult’s In an exothermic solution reaction, the energy
law. requirement to change from liquid to vapor state is the
greatest.
The plot indicates that, at any solute concentration, the
vapor pressure of the endothermic solution reaction is
always greater than the other two vapor pressure values
for the other types of solutions.
The plot for the ideal solution (in either diagram) will
always lie between the plots for the exothermic and
endothermic solutions.
The energy requirement for the endothermic solution
reaction (shown in the first diagram) to transform liquid
to vapor is the least of all three solution types.
Which statement about these plots is not correct?
9) QID: 1733
Which statement about colligative properties is not correct? Vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, and
freezing point lowering are all examples of colligative
properties.
The physical properties of a solution are always
different from those of the pure solvent.
Two solutions with slightly different mole fractions for
their solutes can still have the same value for a
colligative property.
Colligative properties depend only on the number of
solute particles in a solution.
