6. Assertion (A): Molarity of a solution in liquid state changes with 1
temperature.
Reason (R): The volume of a solution changes with change in temperature.
7. Assertion (A): When NaCl is added to water a depression in freezing point 1
is observed.
Reason (R): The lowering of vapour pressure of a solution causes
depression in the freezing point.

Reason: Water is present in large excess and therefore its concentration
remained constant throughout the reaction.

rate constant of these reactions at 27 0C. (R = 8.3 JK-1 mol-1).
17. Case study-based questions 4
The spontaneous flow of the solvent through a semipermeable mebrane
from a pure solvent to a solution or from a dilute solution to a concentrated
solution is called osmosis. The phenomenon of osmosis can be
demonstrated by taking two eggs of the same size. In an egg, the memrane
below the shell and around the egg material is semi-permeable. The outer
hard shell can be removed by putting the egg in dilute hydrochloric acid.
 After removing the hard shell, one egg is placed in distilled water and the
other in a saturated salt solution. After some time, the egg placed in
distilled water swells-up while the egg placed in salt solution shrinks.
The external pressure applied to stop the osmosis is termed as osmotic
pressure (a colligative property). Reverse osmosis takes place when the
applied external pressure becomes larger than the osmotic pressure.
Answer the following questions:
(a) What happens when RBC’s are placed in 0.5% NaCl solution.
(b) Which one of the following has higher osmotic pressure 1M KCl or
1M urea?
(c) What is reverse osmosis? Name one SPM which can be used in this
plant.
