Statement I: Reverse osmosis is used in the desali- nation of sea water.

Statement II: When the applied pressure is more than the osmotic pressure, pure water is squeezed out of sea water through the membrane.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
If both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I
Option A is correct. Reverse osmosis uses pressure greater than osmotic pressure to force pure water through a semipermeable membrane, effectively desalinating seawater.

An aqueous solution of a solute which neither associates nor dissociates has a freezing point depression of X∘C.\mathrm{X}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. An equimolal solution of a second salt has a freezing point depression of 3X∘C.3 \mathrm{X}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. Assuming 100%100 \% dissociation of salt, the second solution could be a salt of formula Read the following statements carefully and choose the correct option

(i) Osmotic pressure is not a colligative property.

(ii) For dilute solutions, osmotic pressure is proportional to the molarity, C{C} of the solution at a given temperature TT.

(iii) During osmosis, solvent molecules always flow from higher concentration to lower concentration of solution.

(iv) The osmotic pressure has been found to depend on the concentration of the solution
A solution that obeys Raoult’s law is called When two liquids AA and BB are mixed they form an ideal solution. At certain temperature the V.P. of the solution, that contains 3 moles of AA and 1 mole of BB was found to be 550 mm550 \mathrm{~mm} of Hg\mathrm{Hg}. The vapour pressure of a solution containing 4 moles of AA and 1 mole of BB was found to be 560 mm\mathrm{mm} of Hg\mathrm{Hg}. The vapour pressure of pure liquid AA is Equal masses of two aqueous solutions, one of 3.6 g3.6 \, \mathrm{g} glucose per 100 g100 \mathrm{~g} of water and the other of 3.6 g3.6 \mathrm{~g} urea per 100 g100 \mathrm{~g} of water are mixed. If the freezing point of resulting solution is −x∘C,-x^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, then the value of '1000x1000 x' is (Kf\left(K_{\mathrm{f}}\right. of water =1.86)\left.=1.86\right) Information

I. Semipermeable membrane contains network of submacroscopic holes or pores.

II. Semipermeable membrane appears to be continuous sheets or films.

III. Solvent molecules cannot pass through the holes of semipermeable membrane but solute molecules can pass On the basis of the information given above select the correct option.
