Concept: Understanding colligative properties and the correct formula for the ebullioscopic constant.
Explanation:• Option A is false: Carbon disulphide and acetone form a minimum boiling azeotrope, not a maximum boiling one.
• Option B is false: A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration (and lower osmotic pressure) compared to the other solution separated by a semipermeable membrane.
• Option C is correct: The ebullioscopic constant
Kb is derived from the Clausius–Clapeyron relation and is given by
Kb=1000ΔHvapRM1Tb2, where
R is the gas constant,
M1 is the molar mass of the solvent (in g/mol),
Tb is the boiling point of the solvent (in K), and
ΔHvap is the molar enthalpy of vaporization (in J/mol).
• Option D is false: A 1.0 molal (
mol kg−1) solution of glucose in water has a volume greater than 1 L, so its molarity is less than 1.0 M. Therefore, it is less concentrated than a 1.0 M glucose solution.
Answer: C.
