Q.

A sample of sea water was found to contain 9.5%, w/w of MgCl2 and 5.85%, w/w of NaCl (Assuming complete ionization of salts) What will be the boiling point of sample

( Kb for water =0.52 ,K-kg/mol, At. Wt of Mg = 24, Na = 23, Cl = 35.5)

1 102.6°C  
2 103.07°C  
3 101.04°C  
4 100.52°C

In 100 gm solution

nMgCl2=0.1    nNaCl=0.1

After dissociation total moles=0.1×3+0.1×2=0.5

Wwater=100-9.5-5.85=84.65 gm

 ΔTb=0.52×0.5×100084.65=3.07°C

 Tb=103.07°C
