A substance ' X ' (1.5 g) dissolved in 150 g of a solvent ' Y ' (molar mass ) led to an elevation of the boiling point by 0.5 K. The relative lowering in the vapour pressure of the solvent ' Y ' is . (nearest integer)
[Given : of the solvent ]
Assume the solution to be dilute and no association or dissociation of takes place in solution.

Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Using boiling point elevation to find molality:
gives , so mol/kg.
Converting molality to moles of solute:
, giving moles of X = 0.015 mol.
Molar mass of X = 1.5 g / 0.015 mol = 100 g/mol.
For vapor pressure lowering, the relative lowering equals the mole fraction of solute.
Moles of solvent Y = 150 g / 300 g/mol = 0.5 mol.
Relative lowering of vapor pressure
=
gives , so mol/kg.
Converting molality to moles of solute:
, giving moles of X = 0.015 mol.
Molar mass of X = 1.5 g / 0.015 mol = 100 g/mol.
For vapor pressure lowering, the relative lowering equals the mole fraction of solute.
Moles of solvent Y = 150 g / 300 g/mol = 0.5 mol.
Relative lowering of vapor pressure
=
