4. A 0.0020 m aqueous solution of an ionic compound \[Co\left(NH_{3}\right)_{5}\left(NO_{2}\right)Cl\]      freezes at –0.00732 °C. Number of moles of ions which 1 mol of ionic compound produces on being dissolved in water will be \[\left(K_{f}=– 1.86°C/m\right)\]
a) 3
b) 4
c) 1
d) 2

Answer: d
Explanation:
q74

5. An aqueous solution is 1.00 molal in KI. Which change will cause the vapour pressure of the solution to increase?
a) Addition of NaCl
b) Addition of \[ Na_{2}SO_{4}\]
c) Addition of 1.00 molal KI
d) Addition of water

Answer: d
Explanation: When the aqueous solution of one molal KI is diluted with water, concentration decreases, therefore the vapour pressure of the resulting solution increases
