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

  1. A0.09474 g/mol
  2. B0.9474 g/mol
  3. C9.474 g/mol
  4. D94.74 g/mol

Correct answer

D. 94.74 g/mol

Step-by-step solution

Given:
Mass of solute, w2=13w_2 = 13 g
Mass of solvent (water), w1=100w_1 = 100 g
Vapour pressure of pure water, P0=28.065P^0 = 28.065 mm Hg
Vapour pressure of solution, Ps=27.371P_s = 27.371 mm Hg
Molar mass of water, M1=18M_1 = 18 g/mol

Using the formula for relative lowering of vapour pressure (assuming dilute solution):
P0−PsP0=n2n1\dfrac{P^0 - P_s}{P^0} = \dfrac{n_2}{n_1}

P0−PsP0=w2×M1M2×w1\dfrac{P^0 - P_s}{P^0} = \dfrac{w_2 \times M_1}{M_2 \times w_1}

M2=w2×M1×P0w1×(P0−Ps)M_2 = \dfrac{w_2 \times M_1 \times P^0}{w_1 \times (P^0 - P_s)}

Substituting the given values:
M2=13×18×28.065100×(28.065−27.371)M_2 = \dfrac{13 \times 18 \times 28.065}{100 \times (28.065 - 27.371)}

M2=13×18×28.065100×0.694M_2 = \dfrac{13 \times 18 \times 28.065}{100 \times 0.694}

M2≈94.74M_2 \approx 94.74 g/mol

Answer: 94.74 g/mol
