  2. Vary as square of the absolute temperature
  3. Vary as square of the absolute pressure
  4. None of these

Correct answer: (A)
Are more or less constant (vary from 0.2 to 0.3)

102. Critical solution temperature (or the con-solute temperature) for partially miscible liquids (e.g., phenol-water) is the minimum temperature at which

  1. A homogeneous solution (say of phenol water) is formed

  3. Two liquids are completely separated into two layers
  4. None of these

Correct answer: (A)
A homogeneous solution (say of phenol water) is formed
