The weight in grams of a non-volatile solute (mol. wt. 60) to be dissolved in 90 ~g of water to produce a relative lowering of vapour pressure of 0.02 is
Options
- A4
- B8
- C6
- D10
Correct answer
C. 6
Step-by-step solution
Relative lowering of vapour pressure, aligned p^ -p_s p^ & =x_A & = w_A m_A w_A m_A + w_B m_B aligned (where, w_A and m_A are the mass and molar mass of solute and w_B and m_B are the mass and molar mass of water.) aligned 0.02 & = x 60 x 60 + 90 18 0.02 & = x 60 x 60 +5 1 0.02 & = x 60 +5 x 60 50 & =1+ 5 60 x 49 & = 300 x x & = 300 49 =6 ~g aligned
