Question

A solution containing 2.5×103 kg of a solute dissolved in 75×103 kg of water boils at 373.535 K. The molar mass of the solute is _____ g mol1. [nearest integer] (Given : Kb(H2O)=0.52 K kg mol1 and boiling point of water =373.15 K)

Solution

Wsolute=2.5×103kg = 2.5 g
Wsolvent=75×103kg
Boiling point of aqueous solution T2 = 373.535
Boiling point of water T1 = 373.15K
So, elevation in B.P.;
ΔTb=373.535373.15
=0.385 K
Kb(H2O)=0.52 K kg mol1
ΔTb=Kb×WsoluteMsolute×Wsolvent

Msolute=0.52×2.575×103×0.385
=45.02
