    Maximum lowering of vapour pressure is observed in the case of

    A)  \[0.1\text{ }M\text{ }glucose\]   

    B)  \[0.1\text{ }M\text{ }BaC{{l}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[0.1\text{ }M\text{ }MgS{{O}_{4}}\]   

    D)  \[0.1\text{ }NaCl\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Lowering of vapour pressure is a colligative property i.e., depends only upon the number of particles of solute and not on the nature of solute. \[\because \] \[0.1\text{ }M\text{ }Glucose\text{ }\xrightarrow{{}}\text{ }remains\text{ }undissociated\] \[0.1M\,BaC{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}B{{a}^{2+}}+2C{{l}^{-}}\Rightarrow 3\,ions\] \[0.1M\,MgS{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow{{}}M{{g}^{2+}}+SO_{4}^{2-}\Rightarrow 2\,ions\] \[0.1M\,NaCl\xrightarrow{{}}N{{a}^{2+}}+C{{l}^{-}}\Rightarrow 2\,ions\] \[\therefore \] \[0.1M\] \[BaC{{l}_{2}}\] gives maximum number of particles, hence it exhibits maximum lowering of vapour pressure.
