Question

A 1 molal K4Fe(CN)6 solution has a degree of dissociation of 0.4. Its boiling point is equal to that of another solution which contains 18.1 weight per cent of a nonelectrolyte solute A. The molar mass of A in g/mol is (Round off to the Nearest Integer)

Solution

Answer: 85

Since boiling point is the same, elevation in boiling point is also the same for both solutions.
iK4[Fe(CN)6=1+(n1)α
Since it dissocates into 5 ions, n=5
iK4[Fe(CN)6=1+4α

(ΔTB)K4[Fe(CN)6]=(ΔTB)A


(ikBm)K4[Fe(CN)6]=(ikBm)A

kB is same for both.
Also,
18.1 weight percent means 18.1 g of solute A is dissolved in 100 g of solution.
Mass of solvent =(10018.1)g


(1+4α)×1=1×18.1M×100010018.1
Here M is the molar mass of solute A

1+(4×0.4)=18.1M×100081.9

M=85 g/mol
