Which one of the following statements is false?

Show Hint

Colligative properties depend on the nature of solvent constants.
Updated On: Mar 17, 2026
  • The correct order of osmotic pressure for 0.01 M aqueous solution of each compound is BaCl₂ > KCl > CH₃COOH > sucrose.
  • The osmotic pressure (π) of a solution is given by π = MRT, where M is the molarity of the solution.
  • Raoult’s law states that the vapour pressure of a component over a solution is proportional to its mole fraction.
  • Two sucrose solutions of same molality prepared in different solvents will have the same freezing point depression.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

- (A) Correct: Osmotic pressure π = iMRT; BaCl₂ dissociates most. - (B) Correct: This is the van’t Hoff equation. - (C) Correct: Raoult’s law definition. - (D) False: Freezing point depression depends on the cryoscopic constant of the solvent, which varies for different solvents.
