Solution

The correct option is C The solute should be more soluble in the cold solvent than in the hot
The option (C) is not a criterion for choosing a solvent for recrystallization. The solute should be more soluble in the hot solvent than in the cold. Due to this, the solute can be dissolved in hot solvent and then solvent can be cooled so that the crystallized solute can be filtered.

Option C is correct.

On addition of equal number of moles of a non-volatile solute S in equal amount (in kg) of these solvents, the elevation of boiling point of solvent X is three times than that of solvent Y. Solute S is known to undergo dimerization in these solvents. If the degree of dimerization is 0.7 in solvent Y, the degree of dimerization in solvent X is:

the elevation in boiling point is explained as a colligative property of every solutions.but,for solutions showing positive deviation from raoult's law,the intermolecular attractive forces between solute-solvent molecules are weaker than those between solute- solute and solvent-solvent molecules.this can only result in a lowering of boiling point.how is this possible?
