Q25 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jun Shift 2) · Chemistry

A solution containing 2.5×10-3 kg of a solute dissolved in 75×10-3 kg of water boils at 373.535 K. The molar mass of the solute is mol-1· [nearest integer] (Given : KbH2O=0.52 K kg mol-1 and boiling point of water =373.15 K)

Correct answer: 45

Solution

ΔTb=iKbm

ΔTb=Elevation of boiling pointKb= molal boiling point elevation constantm=molalityi=van't hoff factor

m=2.5M×100075

∆Tb=Tb-TboTb=Boiling point of the solutionTbo=Boiling point of the solvent∆Tb=373.535-373.15        =0.385 K

ΔTb=iKbm

0.385=1×0.52×2.5×1000M×75

The molar mass of the solute,M=45 g/ml.

Hence, the correct answer is 45.
