The boiling point of 0.2   m o l   k g - 1 solution of X in water is greater than equimolal solution of Y in water. Which one of the following statements is true in this case?
Options
- AX is undergoing dissociation in water
- BMolecular mass of X is greater than the molecular mass of Y.
- CMolecular mass of X is less than the molecular mass of Y.
- DY is undergoing dissociation in water while X undergoes no change
Correct answer
A. X is undergoing dissociation in water
Step-by-step solution
∆ T b = i   K b . m K b & m are constant for solutions of X and Y. ∆ T b is greater for solution of X implies i (Van't Hoff factor for X > 1) i.e X undergoes dissociation.
