MHT CET Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Question

Calculate the boiling point of an aqueous solution containing 18 g glucose in 100 g water if the molal elevation constant of water is 0.5\ K kg mol ^ -1 . [Molar mass of glucose = 180\ g mol ^ -1 and boiling point of water = 100\ ^ C ]

Options

  1. A. 100\ ^ C
  2. B. 100.5\ ^ C
  3. C. 101.0\ ^ C
  4. D. 101.5\ ^ C

Answer

B. 100.5\ ^ C

Step-by-step solution

Moles of glucose = 18 180 = 0.1\ mol Mass of water = 100\ g = 0.1\ kg Molality of the solution, m = 0.1 0.1 = 1\ mol kg ^ -1 Elevation in boiling point, T_b = K_b m T_b = 0.5 1 = 0.5\ ^ C Boiling point of the solution = 100\ ^ C + 0.5\ ^ C = 100.5\ ^ C Answer: 100.5\ ^ C
