- Water is a polar compound (due to electronegativity difference between O and H) . We know that “like dissolves like”. So, a non-polar compound will be more soluble in non-polar solvent as compared to polar compound.
- Phenol has the polar group -OH and non-polar group –C6H5 and it can not form H bonding with water (presence of bulky non-polar group) . Thus, phenol is partially soluble in water
- Toluene has no polar Thus, toluene is insoluble in water.
- Formic acid (HCOOH) has the polar group -OH and can form H-bond with water. Thus, formic acid is highly soluble in water
- Ethylene glycol (OH-CH2-CH2-OH) has polar -OH group and can form H-

Now n-octane is non-polar solvent due to long chain saturated structure. We know that “like dissolves like” so a non-polar compound will be more soluble in non-polar solvent as compared to polar compound.
So cyclohexane is non-polar due to symmetric structure. KCl is ionic in nature as it will dissociate into K + and Cl- ions. CH3CN is polar as mentioned above and CH3OH is also polar in nature.
The order of increasing polarity is:
Cyclohexane < CH3CN < CH3OH < KCl (O is more electronegative than N)
Therefore, the order of increasing solubility is:
KCl < CH3OH < CH3CN < Cyclohexane

(i) Both the compounds are non-polar and they do not attract each other because they do not form any polar ions. Vanderwaals forces of attraction will be dominant in between them as vanderwaals forces of attraction are not a result of any chemical or electronic bond.
(ii) now here both the compounds are non-polar because in I2 both the atoms are same so they have same electronegativity and hence there will be no displacement of electron cloud, it will be in the centre. In case of CCl4 molecule, it has tetrahedral shape so two Cl atoms will cancel the attraction effect from two opposite Cl atoms, hence molecule as a whole is non polar.

Here,
T = 300 K
π = 1.52 bar
R = 0.083 bar L
Applying the relation, π = CRT
where
π = osmotic pressure of solution
C = concentration of solution
R = universal gas constant
T = temperature
⇒C = π / RT = 1.52 / 0.083 X 300
⇒ C = 0.061mol/L
Concentration of the solution is 0.061mol/L

let the molar masses of AB2 and AB4 be x and y respectively.
Molar mass of benzene (C6H6) = 12 * 6 + 1 * 6 = 78 g/mol
Moles of benzene = mass/molar mass = 20/78
n = 0.256mol
⇒ ΔTf = 2.3 K
Kf = 5.1K kg mol-1
For AB2
Applying the formula: ΔTf = Kf * M
Where
ΔTf = depression in freezing point
Kf = molal depression constant
M = molality of solution
⇒ 2.3 = 5.1 * M1
⇒ M1 = 0.451mol/kg
For AB4
Applying the formula: ΔTf = Kf * M
ΔTf = depression in freezing point
Kf = molal depression constant
M = molality of solution
⇒ 1.3 = 5.1 * M2
⇒ M2 = 0.255mol/kg
M1 = moles of solute/mass of solvent (in kg)
M1 = 1/x / 0.02 = 1 / 0.02x = 0.451
⇒ X = 110.86g

5% solution means 5g of cane sugar is present in 100g of solution
Freezing point of solution = 271k
Freezing point of pure water = 273.15k
Molar mass of cane sugar (C12H22O11) = 12 * 12 + 1 * 22 + 16 * 11 = 342g
Moles of cane sugar = mass/molar mass = 5/342
⇒ n = 0.0146mol
Molality of solution = moles of solute/mass of solvent (in kg)
⇒ M = 0.0146/0.095
⇒ Molality = 0.154M
Depression in freezing point = ΔTf = 273.15-271 = 2.15k
Applying the formula: ΔTf = Kf * M
Where
ΔTf = depression in freezing point
Kf = molal depression constant
M = molality of solution
⇒ Kf = 2.15/0.154
⇒ Kf = 13.96k kg mol-1

Given: mass of solute = 30g
Let the molar mass of solute be x g and vapour pressure of pure water at 298k be P1 ?
Mass of water(solvent) = 90g
Molar mass of water = H2O = 1 * 2 + 16 = 18g
Moles of water = mass of water/molar mass
⇒ n = 90/18 moles
⇒ n = 5moles
Molar fraction of solute,
x2 = moles of solute / moles of solute + moles of octane
x2 = (30/x) / (30/x) + 5
x2 = 30 / 30+5x
Vapour pressure of solution (p1) = 2.8kpa
Applying the formula:

According to second condition when we add 18g of water to solution vapour pressure becomes 2.9kpa
Moles of water = mass/molar mass
⇒ n = 90 + 18/18
⇒ n = 6moles
Molar fraction of solute,
x2 = mo
