A solution containing $1.23 \mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{Ca}{\left({\mathrm{NO}}_3\right)}_2$ in $10 \mathrm{g}$ of water boils at $100.975°\mathrm{C}$. Calculate the degree of ionisation of the nitrate $\left({\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{b}}=0.52\right)$.

A $0.5\%$ aqueous solution of $\mathrm{KCl}$ was found to freeze at $272.76 \mathrm{K}$. Calculate the van't Hoff factor and the degree of dissociation of $\mathrm{KCl}$ at this concentration.

${\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{f}}\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)=1.86°\mathrm{C} {\mathrm{m}}^{-1}$.

When $60.26 \mathrm{g}$ of ${\mathrm{VCl}}_4$ was added to $1000 \mathrm{g}$ of solvent ${\mathrm{CCl}}_4$, the freezing point of ${\mathrm{CCl}}_4$ was depressed by $5.415°\mathrm{C}$. ${\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{f}}$ for ${\mathrm{CCl}}_4$ is $29.9$. Compare the number of moles of particles with the number predicted by the formula. Calculate the number of dimers, ${\mathrm{V}}_2{\mathrm{Cl}}_8$ present.

[Hint: $2{\mathrm{VCl}}_4\to {\mathrm{V}}_2{\mathrm{Cl}}_8$]

At $25°\mathrm{C},$ a $0.1 \mathrm{m}$ solution of ${\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COOH}$ is $1.35\%$ dissociated. Calculate the freezing point and osmotic pressure of the solution. ${\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{f}}$ for water$=1.86°\mathrm{C} {\mathrm{m}}^{-1}$.

The vapour pressure of a $0.01 \mathrm{m}$ solution of a weak base $\mathrm{BOH}$ in water at $20°\mathrm{C}$ is $17.536 \mathrm{mm}.$ Calculate ${\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{b}}$ for the base. Aqueous tension at $20°\mathrm{C}=17.54 \mathrm{mm}$. (Give answer as ${\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{b}} \times {10}^4$ )

[Hint $\mathrm{i}=\frac{\text{ observed lowering in}\mathrm{vapour} \mathrm{pressure}}{\text{ calculated lowering in vapour pressure }}=\frac{\mathrm{p}-{\mathrm{p}}_{\text{obs. }}}{{\mathrm{p}}^0·\frac{\mathrm{n}}{\mathrm{N}}}=\frac{17.540-17.536}{17.54\times \frac{0.01}{1000/18}},$

Then apply $\mathrm{i}=1+\mathrm{x}$ and ${\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{b}}=\frac{0.01{\mathrm{x}}^2}{1-\mathrm{x}}$]

In an Ostwald-Walker experiment, dry air was first blown through a solution containing a certain amount of solute $(\mathrm{M}=278)$ in $150 \mathrm{g}$ of water and then also through pure water. The loss in mass of water was found to be $0.0827 \mathrm{g}$, while the mass of water absorbed in sulphuric acid was $3.317 \mathrm{g}$. Calculate the amount of the solute.

Pheromones are compounds secreted by the females of many insect species to attract males. One of these compounds contains $80.78\% \mathrm{C},13.56\% \mathrm{H},$ and $5.66\%$ $\mathrm{O}$. A solution of $1.0 \mathrm{g}$ of this substance in $8.50 \mathrm{cc}$ of benzene freezes at $3.37°\mathrm{C}$ What is the molecular weight and the molecular formula of the compound?$(\mathrm{f}.\mathrm{p}. \mathrm{of} {\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_6=5.5°\mathrm{C}, {\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{f}} \left({\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_6\right)=5·12° \mathrm{C}/\mathrm{m})$

The vapour pressure of pure water at $25°\mathrm{C}$ is $23.62 \mathrm{mm}$ $\mathrm{Hg}$, What will be the vapour pressure of a solution of $1.5 \mathrm{g}$ of urea in $50 \mathrm{g}$ of water?
