This document contains 24 chemistry assignment questions about solutions. Some key topics covered include: 1. Determining which liquid has a higher vapor pressure at a given temperature based on their boiling points. 2. Examples of solid solute in a solid solvent and why oil and water do not mix. 3. When molality is preferred over molarity and examples of isotonic solutions. 4. Calculating Vant Hoff factor for a dilute K2SO4 solution and stating Henry's law. 5. Identifying type of deviation from ideal behavior when two liquids produce a warm solution upon mixing. 6. Defining osmotic pressure and explaining why 1 M KCl has a higher osmotic

vapour pressure of a binary liquid solution varies linearly with the mole fraction of a component.
20. Non ideal solution exhibit either positive or negative deviations from Raoult’s law. What are these
deviations and why are they caused? Explain with one example for each type.

to 1 litre water the boiling point decreases. Give reason.
