Question

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
A soluble solid in solution has the effect of raising its boiling point and depressing its freezing point. The addition of non-volatile substances to a solvent decreases the vapor pressure and the added solute particles affects the formation of pure solvent crystals. According to many researches the decrease in freezing point directly correlated to the concentration of solutes dissolved in the solvent. This phenomenon is expressed as freezing point depression and it is useful for several applications such as freeze concentration of liquid food and to find the molar mass of an unknown solute in the solution. Freeze concentration is a high quality liquid food concentration method where water is removed by forming ice crystals. This is done by cooling the liquid food below the freezing point of the solution.
When a non-volatile solid is added to pure water it will

Solution

The correct option is B Boils above 100oC and freezes below 0oC
Lowering in vapour pressure results in an elevation in boiling point. Therefore, when a non-volatile solid is added to pure water, it will boil at higher temperature and freeze at lower temperature, i.e. below 0oC.
