Two 5 molal solutions are prepared by dissolving a non-electrolyte, non-volatile solute separately in the solvents X\mathrm{X} and Y\mathrm{Y}. The molecular weights of the solvents are MX\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{X}} and MY\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{Y}}, respectively where MX=34MY\mathrm{M}_X=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{Y}}. The relative lowering of vapour pressure of the solution in X\mathrm{X} is " m\mathrm{m} " times that of the solution in Y. Given that the number of moles of solute is very small in comparison to that of solvent, the value of "m" is:

Options

  1. A34\frac{3}{4}
  2. B12\frac{1}{2}
  3. C14\frac{1}{4}
  4. D43\frac{4}{3}

Correct answer

A. 34\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step solution

The relationship between molar masses of the two solvents is MX=34MY\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{X}}=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{Y}}The relative lowering of vapour pressure of the two solutions is (ΔPP)X=m\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}}\right)_{\mathrm{X}}=\mathrm{m}\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}}\right)_{\mathrm{Y}}But,therelativeloweringofvapourpressureofsolutionsisdirectlyproportionaltothemolefractionofsolute.Given5molalsolution,means5molesofsolutearedissolvedinBut, the relative lowering of vapour pressure of solutions is directly proportional to the mole fraction of solute. Given 5 molal solution, means 5 moles of solute are dissolved in1 \mathrm{~kg}(or( or1000 \mathrm{~g})ofsolvent.Thenumberofmolesofsolvent) of solvent. The number of moles of solvent=\frac{1000 \mathrm{~g}}{\mathrm{M}}ThemolefractionofsoluteThe mole fraction of solute=\frac{5}{1000 / \mathrm{M}}=\mathrm{M} \times \frac{5}{1000}hencehence\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{X}} \times \frac{5}{1000}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{Y}} \times \frac{5}{1000}.Substituteequation(i)inequation(ii). Substitute equation (i) in equation (ii)34×MY×51000=m×MY×51000 m=34\begin{aligned}&\frac{3}{4} \times \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{Y}} \times \frac{5}{1000}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{Y}} \times \frac{5}{1000}\\ &\mathrm{~m}=\frac{3}{4} \end{aligned}$
