Find the weight of urea in the 0.2 molal solution: 
Given a 0.2 molal solution, there are 0.2 moles of urea in 1000 g of solvent. The weight of urea is thus 0.2 mol × 60 g/mol = 12 g.
Find the weight of the solution: 
The total weight of the solution is the weight of the solvent plus the weight of the solute, or
1000 g + 12 g = 1012 g.
Find the volume of the solution: 
Given the density of the solution, we can find its volume by dividing the total weight of the solution by the density

Find the amount of urea in 50 mL of the 0.2 molal solution:

Find the amount of urea in the 250 mL solution:
The 250 mL solution contains

Find the total concentration of the solution:

After mixing, the total volume of the solution is 50 mL + 250 mL = 300 mL , and the total amount of urea is 0.01 mol + 0.001 mol = 0.011 mol.
So, the concentration of the solution is

Find the osmotic pressure of the solution:
Finally, the osmotic pressure π of the solution can be found using the formula π = CRT , where C is the concentration, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature. Substituting the given and calculated values,

Q1: An aqueous solution is prepared by dissolving 0.1 mol of an ionic salt in 1.8 kg of water at 35^∘C. The salt remains 90 % dissociated in the solution. The vapour pressure of the solution is 59.724 mm of Hg. Vapor pressure of water at 35^∘C is 60.000 mm of Hg . The number of ions present per formula unit of the ionic salt is _________.     [JEE Advanced 2022 Paper 2]
Ans: 5
Vapour pressure of solution (P_A) of = 59.724 mm of Hg
Vapour pressure of pure water (PA^∘) of = 60.000 mm of Hg
Also, 0.1 mol of an ionic solid is dissolved in 1.8 kg of water and salt remains 90 % dissocated in the solution.

So, total number of moles = 0.01 + 0.09a of non-volatile particles.
Now, mass of water = 1.8 kg = 1.8 × 1.8 × 1000 g
Molar mass of water = 18g

Using the colligative property, relative lowering in vapour pressure,

So, the number of ions present per formula unit of the ionic salt is 5.

Using Raoult's law equation for a mixture of volatile liquids.

By solving equation (i) and (ii)

Thus, the vapour pressure of pure liquid B in bar is 0.2.

Q1: On dissolving 0.5 g of a non-volatile non-ionic solute to 39 g of benzene, its vapor pressure decreases from 650 mmHg to 640 mmHg. The depression of freezing point of benzene (in K) upon addition of the solute is .............
(Given data: Molar mass and the molal freezing point depression constant of benzene are 78 g mol^-1 and 5.12 K kg mol^-1, respectively).     [JEE Advanced 2019 Paper 1]
Ans: 1.02
When 0.5 g of non-volatile solute dissolve into 39 gm of benzene then relative lowering of vapour pressure occurs. Hence, vapour pressure decreases from 650 mmHg to 640 mmHg.
Given, vapour pressure of solvent (p^∘) = 650 mmHg
Vapour pressure of solution (p_s) = 640 mmHg
Weight of non-volatile solute = 0.5 g
Weight of solvent (benzene) = 39 g
From relative lowering of vapour pressure,




∴ Molar mass of solute = 64 g
From molal depression of freezing point,
