The partial pressure of ethane over a saturated solution containing 6.56 × 10⁻² g of ethane is 1 bar. If the solution were to contain 5.0 × 10⁻² g of ethane, then what will be the partial pressure of the gas ?
What is meant by rate of a reaction ? Differentiate between average rate and instantaneous rate of a reaction.
Explain why on addition of 1 mol of NaCl to 1 litre of water, the boiling point of water increases, while addition of 1 mol of methyl alcohol to one litre of water decreases its boiling point.
