NEET Chemistry Raoult's Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The lowering of vapour pressure by adding a non-volatile solute to a solvent results in a decrease in the freezing point of the solution.
Reason (R): According to Raoult's Law, the vapour pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that adding a non-volatile solute decreases the vapour pressure of the solution, leading to a lower freezing point. Raoult's Law explains this by stating the vapour pressure of the solution depends on the mole fraction of the solvent.
