Question

The addition of 3g of a substance to 100gCCl4(M=154gmol1) raises the boiling point of CCl4 by 0.60C. If Kb(CCl4) is 5Kmol1kg, calculate the molar mass of the substance.
Given:
Kf(CCl4)=31.8Kkgmol1
ρ(solution)=1.64gcm3.
(Answer in g/mol)

Solution

The molar mass of solute is calculated by using the formula M2=kb×W2ΔTbW1
Here, subscript 1 refers to solvent and the subscript 2 refers to solute.
Substitute values in the above expression.
M2=5Kmol1kg×0.003kg0.6oC×0.100kg=0.250kg/mol=250g/mol
Thus, the molar mass of the solute is 250 g/mol.
