Question
' W ' g of a non-volatile electrolyte solid solute of molar mass ' M ' $g{mol}^{- 1}$ when dissolved in 100 mL water, decreases vapour pressure of water from 640 mm Hg to 600 mm Hg . If aqueous solution of the electrolyte boils at 375 K and $K_{b}$ for water is $0.52\text{ }K\text{ }kg{\text{ }mol}^{- 1}$, then the mole fraction of the electrolyte solute ( $x_{2}$ ) in the solution can be expressed as
(Given : density of water $= 1\text{ }g/mL$ and boiling point of water $= 373\text{ }K$ )
Options
Solution
$\ P^{\circ} = 640\text{ }mmHg$
$${P_{s} = 600\text{ }mmHg }{\Delta P = 40\text{ }mmHg }$$moles of solute $= \frac{W}{M}$
$$\frac{\Delta P}{P^{o}} = i.X_{\text{solute~}} $$Again :
$${\Delta T_{b} = i \times k_{b} \times m }{2 = i \times 0.52 \times \frac{W/M}{100} \times 1000 }{i = \frac{2}{5.2} \times \frac{M}{W} }{X_{\text{solute~}} = \frac{40}{640} \times \frac{1}{i} = \frac{1}{16} \times \frac{5.2}{2} \times \frac{W}{M} }{X_{\text{solute~}} = \frac{1.3}{8} \times \frac{W}{M}}$$
