Semi permeable membranes are continuous sheets or films (natural or synthetic) that have a network of submicroscopic holes or pores through which small solvent molecules like water may pass but larger molecules of solute cannot. Osmosis is the process of diffusion via this membrane.

'Depression in the freezing point of water when a nonvolatile solute is dissolved in it' is the phenomenon involved in removing snow-covered roads in hilly places. As a result, when salt is spread over snow-covered roads, snow melts from the surface due to a drop in the freezing point of water, which aids in road cleaning.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The fleeing tendencies of water molecules from the liquid level/surface create vapour pressure in any solvent or water. Only water molecules are present at the surface of pure water, but when a nonvolatile solute such as glucose is dissolved in it, a certain number of nonvolatile glucose molecules with no escape tendency are also present at the aqueous solution's surface.
As a result, the quantity of water molecules near the surface decreases, resulting in a lower number of water molecules being able to escape as vapours. When compared to pure water/solvent, this lowers

(a) (i) According to Henry's law, a gas's pressure is proportional to its solubility. The air pressure gradually falls as scuba divers approach the surface. This lower pressure causes the dissolved gases in the blood to be released, resulting in the development of nitrogen bubbles in the blood. This causes capillaries to constrict, resulting in bends, a painful and life-threatening medical condition.
(ii) The partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude is lower than at ground level. People living at high altitudes have reduced oxygen concentrations in their

It's worth noting that when the temperature drops, the values of Henry's law constant (KH) rise. Because of this, the solubility of oxygen in water increases with decreasing temperature at a given pressure. As a result, the presence of more oxygen at lower temperatures makes aquatic organisms feel more at ease in cold water than in warm water.

p =KHx (where p is the partial pressure of the gas in the vapour phase and x is the mole fraction of the gas in solution) is Henry's law expressed mathematically.
As a result of the aforementioned equation, "the lower the solubility of the gas in the liquid, the greater the value of Henry's law constant KH at a given pressure."

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of solution is the molarity of a solution, which is defined as "the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of solution." Because volume is affected by temperature and changes with it, the molarity will also change as the temperature changes.
Other concentration words, such as mass percentage, ppm, mole fraction, and molality, are based on the mass-to-mass relationship of the solute and solvent in a binary solution. Because mass does not vary as a function of temperature, these concentration terms do not chan

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The solubility rule "like dissolves like" is based on the intermolecular forces of that exist in solution as follows:
If the intermolecular interactions in both components are similar, a substance (solute) dissolves in a solvent (ie. solvent and solute particles or molecules). When polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents, this is a regular occurrence.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The vapour pressure of a liquid in comparison to air pressure determines its boiling point. At a constant atmospheric pressure, the lower the vapour pressure, the higher the boiling point of a liquid, and vice versa.
Because NaCl is a nonvolatile solute, it reduces the vapour pressure of water when added to it. The boiling point of water rises as a result. Methyl alcohol, on the other hand, is more volatile than water, therefore adding it to the solution raises the overall vapour pressure, lowering the boiling point of water.
