When dissolved in suitable solvents, certain solutes/compounds either dissociate or associate. For instance, ethanoic acid dimerises in benzene due to hydrogen bonding, but dissociates and produces ions in water.
As a result, the number of chemical species in solution rises or falls in relation to the number of chemical species of solute used to create the solution. Because the magnitude of the colligative property is dependent on the number of solute particles in relation to the total number of particles in solution, it is expected that the molar mass calculated using c

We have,
At f(x) = 0.
2x – 1 = 0
=
Option (B) is
Hence maximum value of f(x) = at x = 1 and x = 0.
Option (c) is correct.

(i) When egg is placed in a dilute mineral acid solution (preferably dilute HCl solution), the hard external CaCO3 layer of the egg dissolves out /removed without damaging its semipermeable membrane.
(ii) Yes, this egg can be inserted into a bottle with a narrow neck without distorting in shape. The process involved utilising phenomenon of osmosis is explained as below -
Egg is placed in a mineral acid solution – after some time the egg is removed and placed in a hypertonic solution- size of the egg gradually decreases after some time and it shrivels due to osmos

The equation of the given curve is
x2 = 2y.
Let p (x, y) be a point on the curve.
The distance of p (x, y) from (0, 5) is say S is given by

Let z = s2 = x2 + y2 + 25 – 10y = 2y + y2 -10y + 25
z = y2 – 8y + 25
So,
At
At y = 4,
y = 4, is point of minimum distance.
So, x2 = 2y->x2 = 2 * 4-> x2 = 8
Hence, the point of the nearest distance are and
Option (A) is correct.

The process of osmosis is of immense biological and industrial importance as is evident from the following examples:
A. Biological Importance :
(i) Osmosis is responsible for some of the water movement from the soil into the plant roots and then into the top parts of the plant.
(ii) Adding salt to meat to protect it against bacterial action (ie. salting).
(iii) Sugar is used to protect fruits from bacterial attack. Bacterium in canned fruit shrivels and dies as a result of the osmosis process.
(iv) Salt blood cells break due to osmosis when placed in water containing les

Raised increases in size when submerged in water. It's due to a phenomenon known as "Osmosis." The process is depicted graphically in figure. A semipermeable membrane separates a solution from its solvent in this procedure, allowing solvent molecules to pass through but preventing solute particles from passing through.
The passage of solvent molecules from a pure solvent to a solution via a semipermeable membrane is known as osmosis. The following are three osmosis applications:
(i) Osmosis is responsible for some of the water movement from the soil into the plant roots

"Azeotropes” is the general term for binary mixes that deviate from Rault's law and whose components cannot be separated by fractional distillation. Because of the following reasons, fractional distillation cannot produce pure ethanol: Azeotropes are binary solutions (liquid mixes) with the same composition in the liquid and vapour phases, therefore fractional distillation cannot separate the components of an azeotrope. On fractional distillation, an ethanol-water mixture (obtained via sugar fermentation) yields a solution containing approximately 95 percent ethanol b
