Q71 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

At 100oC the vapour pressure of a solution of 6.5 g of a non-volatile solute in 100 g water is 732 mm. If Kb=0.52 , the boiling point of this solution will be:

  • Correct answer
    A
    101oC
  • B
    100oC
  • C
    102oC
  • D
    103oC

Solution

At 100oC (boiling point)

Vapour pressure of water Po=Patm=760 mm

∴Po-PsPo=Xsolute

⇒760-732760=nsolutensolvent{m=molar mass of solute}

⇒28732=6.5/m100/18   

⇒m=6.5×18×73228×100≈30.6

Now,

∆Tb=Kb× molality

=0.52×6.5/30.60.1=1.1°C

∴ Boiling point of solution =100+1.1=101.1oC ≃101°C

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
