Worksheet: Colligative property

5 important numericals based on all four colligative properties including van’t Hoff factor (i) — aligned with CBSE PYQs and exam style:


1. Relative Lowering of Vapour Pressure (PYQ Style)

Q: 5.85 g of NaCl is dissolved in 100 g of water. Calculate the relative lowering of vapour pressure. (Given: Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol, i = 2)

Concepts Involved:

  • Mole calculation
  • Raoult’s Law
  • Use of van’t Hoff factor

2. Elevation of Boiling Point

Q: 3.42 g of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) is dissolved in 180 g of water. Calculate the elevation in boiling point. (Kb = 0.52 K·kg/mol, Molar mass of sucrose = 342 g/mol)

Concepts Involved:

  • Molality
  • Non-electrolyte (i = 1)
  • ΔTb = i·Kb·m

3. Depression in Freezing Point (CBSE 2020)

Q: 1.8 g of glucose is dissolved in 100 g of water. Calculate depression in freezing point. (Kf = 1.86 K·kg/mol, Molar mass of glucose = 180 g/mol)


4. Osmotic Pressure

Q: Calculate the osmotic pressure of a solution containing 0.5 mol NaCl in 2 L solution at 27°C. (R = 0.0821 L.atm.per mole per K, i = 2)

Concepts Involved:

  • π = i·M·R·T
  • NaCl dissociation

5. Van’t Hoff Factor (Abnormal Mol. Mass)

Q: 0.1 mol of K₂SO₄ is dissolved in 1 kg water. The freezing point is found to be depressed by 0.488 K. Calculate the van’t Hoff factor (i) and degree of dissociation. (Kf = 1.86 K·kg/mol)

Concepts Involved:

  • Use i = ΔTf / (Kf·m)
  • K₂SO₄ dissociates into 3 ions → Theoretical i = 3
  • Use of degree of dissociation formula
