Q.

1.24 g of AX2 (molar mass 124 g mol-1) is dissolved in 1 kg of water to form a solution with boiling point of 100.0156°C, while 25.4 g of AY2 (molar mass 250 g mol-1) in 2 kg of water constitutes a solution with a boiling point of 100.0260°C.

Kb(H2O)=0.52 K kg mol-1

Which of the following is correct                    [2025]

1 AX2 and AY2 (both) are completely unionised.  
2 AX2 is fully ionised while AY2 is completely unionised.  
3 AX2 and AY2 (both) are fully ionised.  
4 AX2 is completely unionised while AY2 is fully ionised.  

Ans.

(2)

Moles of AX2(nAX2)=WAX2MAX2=1.24124mol=0.01 mol

Molality of AX2 solution (mAX2)=nAX2Wwater (in kg)=0.01 mol1 kg=0.01m

Elevation in boiling point of AX2 solution (ΔTb(AX2))=(100.0156-100)°C=iAX2mAX2kb

0.0156=iAX2×0.01×0.52

iAX2=0.01560.01×0.52=3

So, AX2 is completely ionized.  

Moles of AY2(nAY2)=WAY2MAY2=25.4250mol=0.1016 mol

Molality of AY2 solution (mAY2)=nAY2Wwater (in kg)=0.1016 mol2 kg=0.0508m

Elevation in boiling point of AY2 solution (ΔTb(AY2))=(100.026-100)°C=iAY2mAY2kb

0.026=iAY2×0.0508×0.52

iAY2=0.0260.0508×0.521

So, AY2 is completely unionized.
