    The vapour pressure of 100g water reduces from 3000\[N{{m}^{-2}}\] to 2985\[N{{m}^{-2}}\] when 5g of substance X is dissolved in it. Substance X is

    A)  methanol          

    B)  glucose               

    C)         carbon dioxide  

    D)         Cannot predict

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\frac{p{}^\circ -{{p}_{s}}}{p{}^\circ }=\frac{n}{n+N}=\frac{\frac{w}{m}}{\frac{w}{m}+\frac{W}{M}}\] \[\because \]     \[\frac{w}{m}<\frac{W}{M}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{p{}^\circ -{{p}_{s}}}{p{}^\circ }=\frac{w\text{/}m}{W\text{/}M}=\frac{w}{m}\times \frac{M}{W}\] \[\frac{3000-2985}{3000}=\frac{5}{m}\times \frac{18}{100}\] \[m=\frac{5\times 18\times 3000}{15\times 100}\] \[m=180\] 180 is the molecular weight of glucose\[({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}),\] thus the substance\[X\]is glucose.
