Which one of the following statements is false?
- ARaoult’s law states that the vapour pressure of a component over a solution is proportional to its mole fraction
- BTwo sucrose solutions of same molality prepared in different solvents will have the same freezing point depression
- CThe correct order of osmotic pressure for aqueous solution of each compound is
- DThe osmotic pressure () , where is the molarity of the solution
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
* Statement B is false because . The freezing point depression depends on the cryoscopic constant (), which is a characteristic of the solvent. Different solvents will have different values, resulting in different even if molality is the same.Statement A is the definition of Raoult's Law.Statement C is correct because produces ions, produces , partially dissociates, and sucrose does not dissociate.Statement D is the van't Hoff equation for non-electrolytes.
