Question

Relative lowering of vapour pressure, osmotic pressure of a solution and elevation in boiling points are _______ (p) properties. Osmosis is the passage of _______ (q) through a semipermeable membrane from a solution of _______ (r) towards a solution of ______ (s). Osmotic pressure is equivalent to mechanical pressure which must be applied on _______ (t) to prevent osmosis.
In the above paragraph p,q,r,s and t respectively are

• A. colligative, solution, higher concentration, lower concentration, solution
• B. colligative, solvent, higher concentration, lower concentration, solution
• C. colligative solution, higher concentration, lower concentration, solvent
• D. colligative, solvent, lower concentration, higher concentration, solution

Answer 1

The correct option is D colligative, solvent, lower concentration, higher concentration, solution

$P)$ Colligative properties

Colligative properties depends on relative no. of solute particles and does not depend on nature or identity of solute particles.

$q)$ solvent

$\left(r\right)$ lower concentration

$\left(s\right)$ higher concentration

$\left(t\right)$ solution

In the process of osmosis, the net flow of solvent molecules occurs from higher concentration of solvent (dilute solution) to lower concentration of solvent (concentrated solution) or lower concentration of solution to higher concentration of solution.
