Solution
The correct option is A0.036 ΔTf=KfW1M1×W2×1000 [W2 is given in grams]
where 1 and 2 denote solute & solvent respectively.
Given, ΔTf=2Kf⇒W1×1000M1×W2=2
Relative lowering of vapour pressure= W1×M2M1×W2
Here, M2= Molecular weight of H2O=18
∴ Relative lowering of vapour pressure= (W1M1×W2)×18
