Q. Equimolar solution in the same solvent have

A) Different boiling and different freezing points
B) Same boiling and same freezing points
C) Same freezing point but different boiling point
D) Same boiling point but different freezing point
Explanation

(b)
Boiling point and freezing point depend on $k_{b}$ (molal elevation constant) and $k_{f}$ (molal depression constant) of the solvent. Thus, equimolar solution (of the non-electrolyte) will have same boiling point and also same freezing point.
$\mathrm{\Delta}T_{f} = k_{f} \times molality$
$\mathrm{\Delta}T_{b} = k_{b} \times molality$
Note In this question nature of salute has not been mentioned. Hence, we have assumed that solute is non-electrolyte.
