B
The vapour pressure of water does not depend upon the temperature.
C
Lowering of vapour pressure due to a solute in 1 molal aqueous solution at 
is 13.44 mm of Hg .
is 13.44 mm of Hg . D
The lowering of vapour pressure does not depend on the concentration of the solute particles.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Among the given statements, only statement is correct while other statements , and are incorrect. Their correct form are : Vapour pressure of the solvent decreases in the presence of non-volatile solute. The vapour pressure of water depends upon the temperature. The lowering of vapour pressure depends only on the concentration of the solute particles.
