In a solvent S\textbf{S}, a compound B\textbf{B} is partially dissociated into C\textbf{C} and D\textbf{D} as given below:
B⇌2C+2D\textbf{B} \rightleftharpoons 2\textbf{C} + 2\textbf{D}
B\textbf{B}, C\textbf{C} and D\textbf{D} are non-volatile in nature. The molar mass of B\textbf{B} is 1010 times the molar mass of S\textbf{S}. The standard boiling point and the standard enthalpy of vaporization of S\textbf{S} are 400400 K and 10R10R J mol−1^{-1}, respectively (RR is the gas constant in J K−1^{-1} mol−1^{-1}). A solution of B\textbf{B} in S\textbf{S} with an initial concentration of B\textbf{B} as 0.25%0.25\% (mass/mass) has a boiling point of 408408 K at 11 bar pressure. In this solution, the mole percent of B\textbf{B} that has been dissociated is ____.

Step-by-step solution

The elevation in boiling point is given by ΔTb=iKbm\Delta T_b = i K_b m.

The ebullioscopic constant KbK_b is calculated as:
Kb=R(Tb∘)2MS1000ΔHvapK_b = \dfrac{R (T_b^\circ)^2 M_S}{1000 \Delta H_{vap}}

Substituting the given values (Tb∘=400T_b^\circ = 400 K, ΔHvap=10R\Delta H_{vap} = 10R J mol−1^{-1}):
Kb=R(400)2MS1000(10R)=16MSK_b = \dfrac{R (400)^2 M_S}{1000 (10R)} = 16 M_S

For a dilute solution with 0.25%0.25\% (mass/mass) concentration, the mass of solute wB=0.25w_B = 0.25 g and the mass of solvent wS≈100w_S \approx 100 g.
The molality mm is:
m=wB×1000MB×wS=0.25×100010MS×100=0.25MSm = \dfrac{w_B \times 1000}{M_B \times w_S} = \dfrac{0.25 \times 1000}{10 M_S \times 100} = \dfrac{0.25}{M_S}

Given ΔTb=408−400=8\Delta T_b = 408 - 400 = 8 K, we substitute into the boiling point elevation formula:
8=i×(16MS)×(0.25MS)8 = i \times (16 M_S) \times \left(\dfrac{0.25}{M_S}\right)
8=4i  ⟹  i=28 = 4i \implies i = 2

The dissociation reaction is B⇌2C+2D\textbf{B} \rightleftharpoons 2\textbf{C} + 2\textbf{D}.
The van't Hoff factor ii is related to the degree of dissociation α\alpha by:
i=1+(n−1)αi = 1 + (n - 1)\alpha
Here, n=4n = 4 (since 1 molecule of B\textbf{B} yields 4 particles).
2=1+(4−1)α2 = 1 + (4 - 1)\alpha
3α=1  ⟹  α=133\alpha = 1 \implies \alpha = \dfrac{1}{3}

The mole percent of B\textbf{B} that has been dissociated is α×100=33.33%\alpha \times 100 = 33.33\%.
