Solution

The correct option is C 100.15C
Δp=px2
0.50=100×n2n1=100×w×Mm×W

Here,
w= mass of solute = 10g
W= mass of solvent = 180g
M= molar mass of solvent =18g/mol
m= molar mass of solute =?

Substituting the value we get, m=200 g/mol
ΔTb=kbm=KbwW×1000m
=0.52×10180×1000200=0.140.15
Tb=100.15C.

Hence, the correct option is B
