(c) (CH3)3CH and C2H5I (d) (CH3)3C-I and C2H6
CASE BASED QUESTIONS.:
Dissolution of solids in water can be exothermic or endothermic process but gases dissolve in
water always with the evolution of heat. Dissolution of the substance in water can be either
because ion dipole interaction or by hydrogen bond formation. Boiling point or freezing point of
liquid solution would be affected by the dissolved solids in the liquid phase. 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
affect the formation of pure solvent crystals.
53 The Sign of G and S for the dissolution of gas in liquid
(a) ΔG = Negative at high temperature ΔS = Negative
(b) ΔG = Negative at low temperature ΔS = Positive
(c) ΔG = Positive at high temperature ΔS = Negative
(d) ΔG = Positive at low temperature ΔS = Positive
54 When a non- volatile solid is added to pure water it will
(a) Boil above 100 ° and freeze above 0 °
(b) Boil below 100 ° and freeze above 0 °
(c) Boil above 100 ° and freeze below 0 °
(d) Boil below 100 ° and freeze below 0 °
55 Low concentration of oxygen in the blood and tissues of people living at high altitude is due to;
(a) low temperature
(b) low atmospheric pressure
(c) high atmospheric pressure
(d) both low temperature and high atmospheric pressure
