    The relative lowering of vapour pressure of an aqueous solution containing a non-volatile solute is 0.0125. The molality of the solution is

    A) 0.70                       

    B)        0.30

    C) 0.125                    

    D)        0.07

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    According to Raoults law, Relative lowering of vapour pressure = mole fraction of solute              \[({{X}_{B}})=0.0125\] \[\because \]       \[{{X}_{B}}=\frac{m\cdot {{M}_{A}}}{10000+m\cdot {{M}_{A}}}\] \[\therefore \]      \[0.0125=\frac{m\times 18}{1000+m\times 18}\] \[12.5+0.225m=18m\]        \[17.775m=12.5\]                 \[m=\frac{12.5}{17.775}=0.70\]
