13 g nonvolatile solute dissolved in 100 gm of water gives vapour pressure of 27.371 mm Hg at room temperature. Find the molar mass of solute. (vapour pressure of water is 28.065 mm Hg at room temperature)
Options
- A0.09474 g/mol
- B0.9474 g/mol
- C9.474 g/mol
- D94.74 g/mol
Correct answer
D. 94.74 g/mol
Step-by-step solution
Given:
Mass of solute, g
Mass of solvent (water), g
Vapour pressure of pure water, mm Hg
Vapour pressure of solution, mm Hg
Molar mass of water, g/mol
Using the formula for relative lowering of vapour pressure (assuming dilute solution):
Substituting the given values:
g/mol
Answer: 94.74 g/mol
