18g of glucose (C6H12O6) is dissolved in 1 kg of water in a saucepan. At what temperature will the water boil (at 1 atm)? Kb for water is 0.52Kkgmol−1.
373.202K
The given values are:
Wsolute=18g
Wsolvent=1kg
kb=0.52kkgmol−1
First we calculate elevation in the boiling point of solution.
ΔTb=Kb×WsoluteMwsolute×Wsolvent
0.52×18180×1=0.052K
Since water boils at 373.15 K at 1 atm pressure, therefore the boiling point of solution will be
TB=Tb+ΔTb=373.15+0.052=373.202K
Thus, the boiling point of solution is 373.202 K .
