Q.

A solution containing 2 g of a non-volatile solute in 20 g of water boils at 373.52 K. The molecular mass of the solute is ______ g mol-1. (Nearest Integer)

Given, water boils at 373 K, Kb for water = 0.52 K kg mol-1.                           [2023]


Ans.

(100)

ΔTb=kbm

(373.52-373)=0.52×(2×1000M×20)

M=2×100020=100 g/mol

Molecular mass of solute=100 g/mol.
