Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
AThe volume of the solution increases and the volume of the solvent decreases.
Step-by-step explanation
There will be lowering in vapour pressure for
solution containing non-volatile solute. So,
there will be transfer of solvent molecules
from pure solvent to solution and hence,
volume of beaker containing solvent (pure) will
decrease and volume of beaker containing
solution will increase.
