Chemistry-Raoult's Law

NEET Chemistry Raoult's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about the behavior of gases and solutions is correct?

A

The solubility of gases in liquids increases with an increase in temperature.

B

Raoult's law states that the vapor pressure of a solvent is directly proportional to its mole fraction in a solution.

C

Dimerization of acetic acid in benzene leads to an increase in the number of solute particles.

D

The Van't Hoff factor for a solute that dimerizes in solution is equal to two.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Raoult's law states that the vapor pressure of a solvent is directly proportional to its mole fraction in a solution, as indicated in the context. The solubility of gases actually decreases with an increase in temperature, and dimerization reduces the number of particles, making options A and C incorrect. The Van't Hoff factor for dimerization would be less than two, making option D incorrect.
