In order to determine the increase in boiling point of a solvent due to the presence of a solute, we use the formula:
ΔT = Kb * m * i
Here, Kb is a property of the solvent, so remains constant regardless of the solute. Moreover, because the concentration m has been fixed, this will also not be considered. In order to determine which solute will have the greatest effect, we must check i, the van't Hoff factor.
Simply stated, i is the number of ions that a substance produces when dissolved. Therefore, the solute producing the most ions will be the one causing the greatest change in boiling point temperature.
Answer : The fugacity in the solution is, 16 bar.
Explanation : Given,
Fugacity of a pure component = 40 bar
Mole fraction of component = 0.4
Lewis-Randall rule : It states that in an ideal solution, the fugacity of a component is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the component in the solution.
Now we have to calculate the fugacity in the solution.
Formula used :
where,
= fugacity in the solution
= fugacity of a pure component
= mole fraction of component
Now put all the give values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the fugacity in the solution is, 16 bar.
1. The third option is the least soluble in water because it is the chain with the most number of hydrocarbons. Next is the second option while the first one is the most soluble.
2. Statements 1 and 2 are true. The third option is not true all the time because it depends on the structure of the compound.
