Four aqueous solutions are each 0.1m: glucose, urea, NaCl and CaClX2. Assuming complete dissociation of the electrolytes, which has the lowest vapour pressure at a given temperature?
AGlucose
BNaCl
CUrea
DCaClX2
Answer: D
Vapour pressure lowering depends on the number of solute particles. Particles per formula unit are: glucose 1, urea 1, NaCl 2 and CaClX2 3. The most particles give the largest lowering, so CaClX2 has the lowest vapour pressure.
