Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct Answer :
(A) – (III), (B) – (IV), (C) – (I), (D) – (II)
Solution :
The correct option is (A) – (III), (B) – (IV), (C) – (I), (D) – (II).
Let us understand the matching step-by-step by defining each term from List-I and linking it to its correct explanation in List-II:
(A) Saturated solution matches with (III):
A saturated solution is defined as a chemical solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent at a given temperature. Any additional solute added to this solution will not dissolve and will remain as a separate phase. Therefore, (A) matches with (III): "A solution which contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature."
(B) Isotonic solutions matches with (IV):
Isotonic solutions are two or more solutions that exhibit the same osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane at a given temperature. Because their osmotic pressures are equal, there is no net movement of solvent between them. Thus, (B) matches with (IV): "The solutions having same osmotic pressure at a given temperature."
(C) Binary solution matches with (I):
A binary solution is a simple type of homogeneous mixture that consists of exactly two components: one solute and one solvent. Therefore, (C) matches with (I): "Solution having two components."
(D) Hypertonic solution matches with (II):
A hypertonic solution is one that has a higher concentration of solutes (and therefore a higher osmotic pressure) compared to another reference solution. Hence, (D) matches with (II): "A solution whose osmotic pressure is more than that of another."
Combining all these individual matches, we get:
(A) – (III)
(B) – (IV)
(C) – (I)
(D) – (II)
