Q.

2 moles each of ethylene glycol and glucose are dissolved in 500 g of water. The boiling point of the resulting solution is:

(Given: Ebulioscopic constant of water = 0.52 K kg mol-1)                [2025]

1 379.2 K  
2 377.3 K  
3 375.3 K  
4 277.3 K  

Ans.

(2)

Total moles of solute =2 mol glycol+2mol glucose=4 mol

Molality of solution (m)

=Total moles of electrolyteMass of solvent in gm×1000

=4500×1000=8m

Elevation in boiling point, ΔTb=mKb=8×0.52 K=4.16 K

Boiling point of solution (Tb (solution))

=Tb(water)+ΔTb=(373.15+4.16)K=377.31 K
