We describe a first-order phase transition of a simple system in a process where the volume is kept constant. We show that, unlike what happens when the pressure is constant,
(i) the transformation extends over a finite temperature (and pressure) range,
(ii) each and every extensive potential (internal energy U, enthalpy H, Helmholtz energy F, and Gibbs energy G), and the entropy S is continuous across the transition, and
(iii) the constant-volume heat capacity does not diverge during the transition and only exhibits discrete jumps.

The van’t Hoff-Boyle’s law states that at constant temperature the volume of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas.
Van’t Hoff Boyle Law of solution :
→ At constant temperature the osmotic pressure (⊓) of a delute solution is directly proportional to its molar concentration (C) or inversely proportional to volume (V) of the solution.
Explanation : π∝C but C=Vn​
∴π∝Vn​→π∝V1​
Or say πV= constant [ n is no. of moles of solute dissolved in liters ]
Van’t Hoff Charle’s Law of solution :
→ The concentration remaining constant, the osmotic pressure (π) of a dilute solution is directly proportional to absolute temperature (T) of the solution.
Explanation : π∝T
Tπ​= constant.

  1. Which of the following expresses the osmotic pressure of solution ? (π = Osmotic pressure, C = Concentration of solution)
    (a)π = RTC
    (b)π = CTR

    c) The molecular mass of a compound
    d) All of the above
    Answer:(c)
  3. Which law explains the following statement ?
    “Solutions having identical volume and number of particles possess identical osmotic pressure “.
    (a)Boyle-Van’t Hoff law
    (b)Raoult’s law
    (c)Henry’s law
    (d)Avogadro-Van’t Hoff law
    Answer:(d)

Explanation
The van’t Hoff-Boyle’s law states that at constant temperature the volume of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas. Where P is the pressure, V is the volume.
Statement of van’t Hoff-Avogadro’s law : At given temperature, equal volumes of the solutions having the same osmotic pressure contain number of solute particles.
Explanation : The equal number of moles of the substances contain equal number of molecles.

Henry’s law, statement that the weight of a gas dissolved by a liquid is proportional to the pressure of the gas upon the liquid. The law, which was first formulated in 1803 by the English physician and chemist William Henry, holds only for dilute solutions and low gas pressures.
Raoult’s law is a relation of physical chemistry, with implications in thermodynamics. Proposed by French chemist François-Raolult’s in 1887, it states that the partial pressure of each component of an ideal mixture of liquids is equal to the vapor pressure of the pure component (liquid or solid) multiplied by its mole fraction in the mixture.
In consequence, the relative lowering of vapor pressure of a dilute solution of nonvolatile solute is equal to the mole fraction of solute in the solution.

  1. Two solutions of a substance (non electrolyte) are mixed in the following manner. 480 mL of 1.5 M first solution + 520 mL of 1.2 M second solution. What is the molarity of the final mixture?
    a) 1.20 M
    b) 1.344 M
    c) 1.50 M
    d) 2.70 M
    Answer: b

Explanation
Molarity of a mixture, Mmix can be calculated by:
Mmix = (M1V1 + M2V2) / (V1 + V2)
= (1.5 x 480) + (1.2 x 520)/(480 + 520)
= 720+624/1000 = 1.344 M

  1. The density (in g mL–1) of a 3.60 M sulphuric acid solution that is 29% H2SO4 (Molar mass = 98 g mol–1) by mass will be:
    a) 1.45
    b) 1.64
    c) 1.88
    d) 1.22
    Answer : d

Explanation
The relation between Molarity, M and mass percent (%) is given by:
M = (% x 10 x d) / MW
Where:
MW = molecular weight of solute
d = density of solution
Therefore:
d = M x MW / (% x 10) = 3.60 x 98 / 29 x 10 = 1.216 g mL-1

  1. Density of a 2.05 M solution of acetic acid in water is 1.02 g/mL. The molality of the solution is:
    a) 1.14 mol kg-1
    b) 3.28 mol kg-1
    c) 2.28 mol kg-1
    d) 0.44 mol kg-1
    Answer: c

Explanation
Molarity of acetic acid solution = 2.05 M
Therefore the number of moles of acetic acid in 1 L solution = 2.05 mol
mass of acetic acid in 1 L solution = no. of moles x molar mass = 2.05 mol x 60 g mol-1 = 123 g
Note: molar mass of acetic acid is 60 g mol-1
Density, d = mass of solution / volume of solution
Hence:
mass of solution = density x volume of solution = 1.02 g mL-1 x 1000 mL = 1020 g
mass of solvent = mass of solution – mass of solute = 1020 – 123 = 897 g = 0.897 kg
molality, m = no. of moles / mass of solvent (in Kg) = 2.05 mol / 0.897 kg = 2.285 mol kg-1

  1. A 5.2 molal aqueous solution of methyl alcohol, CH3OH is supplied. What is the mole fraction of methyl alcohol in the solution?
    (a) 0.050
    (b) 1.100
    (c) 0.190
    (d) 0.086
    Answer: d

Explanation
molality of aqueous solution = 5.2 mol kg-1
Therefore, the number of moles of methyl alcohol in 1 kg of solvent (water) = 5.2 mol
And the number of moles of solvent (water) = weight / molar mass = 1000 g / 18 g mol-1 = 55.55 mol
Hence:
Mole fraction of methyl alcohol = nMeOH /nMeOH + nwater = 5.2 / 55.55 + 5.2 = 0.08559

  1. Molal boiling point constant is the ratio of the elevation in the boiling to:
