Question

The boiling point of a solution of 0.512 gm of napthalene, C10H8, in 24 gm of chloroform is 0.5C higher than that of pure chloroform. The molal boiling point elevation constant of chloroform is (in K-kg/mol)

Solution

Boiling point elevation constant
ΔTb=Kb×m .....(1)
Where ΔTb=change in boiling point
Kb=boiling point elevation constant
m = molality
Molality (m)=mole of solutemass of solvent in kg
0.512128×24×1000=0.166
Given that
ΔTb=0.5C
Put all the values in equation (1), we get
0.5=0.166×Kb
Kb=3
