' W ' g of a non-volatile electrolyte solid solute of molar mass '...
' W ' g of a non-volatile electrolyte solid solute of molar mass ' M ' 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 for water is , then the mole fraction of the electrolyte solute in the solution can be expressed as
(Given : density of water and boiling point of water )
(Given : density of water and boiling point of water )
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Given the vapour pressure of pure water mm Hg and vapour pressure of solution mm Hg.
According to Raoult's law for an electrolyte solution, the relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by , where is the van't Hoff factor and is the mole fraction of the solute.
Substituting the values:
... (1)
The elevation in boiling point is given by , where is the molality.
Given K and K, so K.
Molality (since mass of water = mL g/mL = g).
Substituting in the elevation formula:
... (2)
Substitute the value of from (2) into (1):
This can be rewritten as .
