A substance ' X ' (1.5 g) dissolved in 150 g of a solvent ' Y ' (molar mass =300 g mol−1=300 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}) led to an elevation of the boiling point by 0.5 K. The relative lowering in the vapour pressure of the solvent ' Y ' is ____\_\_\_\_ ×10−2\times 10^{-2}. (nearest integer)
[Given : Kb\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}} of the solvent =5.0 K kg mol−1=5.0 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} ]
Assume the solution to be dilute and no association or dissociation of XX takes place in solution.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Using boiling point elevation to find molality:
ΔTb=Kb×m\Delta T_b = K_b \times m gives 0.5=5.0×m0.5 = 5.0 \times m, so m=0.1m = 0.1 mol/kg.
Converting molality to moles of solute:
0.1=moles of X0.150.1 = \frac{\text{moles of X}}{0.15}, 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
= nXnX+nY=0.0150.015+0.5\frac{n_X}{n_X + n_Y} = \frac{0.015}{0.015 + 0.5}
=0.0150.515=0.0291≈3×10−2= \frac{0.015}{0.515} = 0.0291 \approx 3 \times 10^{-2}
