Q.

Elements P and Q form two types of non-volatile, non-ionizable compounds PQ and PQ2.When 1 g of PQ is dissolved in 50 g of solvent ‘A’, ΔTb was 1.176 K while when 1 g of PQ2 is dissolved in 50 g of solvent 'A', ΔTb was 0.689 K. (Kb of ‘A’=5 K kg mol-1). The molar masses of elements P and Q (in g mol⁻¹) respectively, are:   [2026]

1 65, 145  
2 70, 110  
3 60, 25  
4 25, 60  

Ans.

(4)

(ΔTb)PQ=Kbm

1.176=5×1M1×100050

M1=85.03

(ΔTb)PQ2=5×1M2×100050=0.689

M2=145.13

Let molar mass of P & Q are MP and MQ respectively

MP+MQ=85.03

MP+2MQ=145.13

MP=24.9325

MQ=60.160
