The solubility of solute in a solvent in a solid solution is governed by Hume-Rothery rules. The solubility is more if: Correct Answer solute an solvent have a similar crystal structure

For high solubility, the solute-solvent pair should have similar radii, crystal structure, and electronegativity. Moreover, for other factors being equal, a solute with higher valence is more soluble than one having lower valence.

The vapor pressure of the solvent decreased by 10 mm Hg, when a non-volatile solute was added to the solvent. The mole fraction of the solute in the solution is 0.2. What should be the mole fraction of the solvent, if the decrease in vapor pressure of the solvent is required to be 20 mm Hg.?
In a liquid-liquid extraction, 10 kg of a solution containing 2 kg of solute C and 8 kg of solvent A is brought into contact with 10 kg of solvent B. Solvent A and B are completely immiscible in each other whereas solute C is soluble in both the solvents. The extraction process attains equilibrium. The equilibrium relationship between the two phases is Y* = 0.9X, where Y* is the kg of C/kg of B and X is kg of C/kg of A. Choose the correct answer.
