The addition of 3g of a substance to 100gCCl4(M=154gmol−1) raises the boiling point of CCl4 by 0.60∘C. If Kb(CCl4) is 5Kmol−1kg, calculate the molar mass of the substance.
Given:
Kf(CCl4)=31.8Kkgmol−1 ρ(solution)=1.64gcm−3. (Answer in g/mol)

Solution
The molar mass of solute is calculated by using the formula M2=kb×W−2ΔTbW1 Here, subscript 1 refers to solvent and the subscript 2 refers to solute. Substitute values in the above expression. M2=5Kmol−1kg×0.003kg0.6oC×0.100kg=0.250kg/mol=250g/mol Thus, the molar mass of the solute is 250 g/mol.
