Solution

The correct option is B 746.24mm/Hg
For electrolyte solution,
Ca(NO3)2Ca2++2NO23

Assume a is initial no. of moles of solute
i=(a(10.7)+a×0.7+2×a×0.7)a
i=2.4

(P1P1)P1=i×n2n1

(P1P1)P1=2.4×n2n1

n1=W1M1 , n2=W2M2

(P1P1)P1=2.4×W2×M1W1×M2
W1= Mass of solvent
W2= Mass of solute
M1= Molar mass of solvent
M2= Molar mass of solute

(P1P1)P1=2.4×7×18100×164

Solving this, we get, P1746mm/Hg)

Hence, option C is correct
