Q.

If the boiling points of two solvents X and Y (having same molecular weights) are in the ratio 2 : 1 and their enthalpy of vaporization are in the ratio 1 : 2, then the boiling point elevation constant of X is m times the boiling point elevation constant of Y. The value of m is ________ (Nearest Integer)            [2023]


Ans.

(8)

ΔTb=Kbm

Kb=RTb2×Msolvent1000×ΔHvap

(ΔTb)X(ΔTb)Y=[(Tb)X(Tb)Y]2×MXMY×ΔHYΔHX=(21)2(11)×21=8
