$1 \ g$ of non-volatile non-electrolyte solute is dissolved in $100 \ g$ of two different solvents $A$ and $B$ whose ebullioscopic constants are in the ratio of $1 : 5$. The ratio of the elevation in their boiling points,$\frac{\Delta T_b (A)}{\Delta T_b (B)}$ is
A
$5:1$
B
$10:1$
C
$1:5$
D
$1:0.2$

Solution

(C) The elevation in boiling point is given by the formula: $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $K_b$ is the ebullioscopic constant and $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Since the mass of the solute $(1 \ g)$ and the mass of the solvent $(100 \ g)$ are the same for both solvents $A$ and $B$,the molality $m$ is the same for both solutions $(m_A = m_B)$.
Therefore,the ratio of the elevation in boiling points is directly proportional to the ratio of their ebullioscopic constants:
$\frac{\Delta T_b (A)}{\Delta T_b (B)} = \frac{K_{b(A)}}{K_{b(B)}}$.
Given that the ratio of the ebullioscopic constants is $\frac{K_{b(A)}}{K_{b(B)}} = \frac{1}{5}$,the ratio of the elevation in boiling points is $1:5$.

$13.44 \ g$ of $CuCl_2$ is dissolved in $1 \ kg$ of water. Determine the elevation in boiling point of the solution. [$K_b = 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,$mol \ wt$ of $CuCl_2 = 134.4$]
A
$0.16$
B
$0.052$
C
$0.1$
D
$0.5$

Solution

(A) Step $1$: Calculate the number of moles of $CuCl_2$: $n = \frac{13.44 \ g}{134.4 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.1 \ mol$.
Step $2$: Calculate molality $(m)$: $m = \frac{0.1 \ mol}{1 \ kg} = 0.1 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Step $3$: Determine the van't Hoff factor $(i)$: $CuCl_2$ dissociates as $CuCl_2 \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + 2Cl^-$. Assuming $100 \%$ ionization,$i = 3$.
Step $4$: Calculate elevation in boiling point: $\Delta T_b = i \times K_b \times m = 3 \times 0.52 \times 0.1 = 0.156 \ K \approx 0.16 \ K$.

Which of the following solutions will exhibit the highest boiling point?
A
$0.01 \ M \ Na_2SO_4$
B
$0.01 \ M \ KNO_3$
C
$0.015 \ M \ \text{urea}$
D
$0.015 \ M \ \text{glucose}$

Solution

(A) The elevation in boiling point is given by the formula $\Delta T_b = i \times K_b \times m$,where $i$ is the van't Hoff factor and $m$ is the molality.
Since $K_b$ is constant for a given solvent,the boiling point depends on the product $i \times m$.
For $0.01 \ M \ Na_2SO_4$,$i = 3$ $(Na_2SO_4 \rightarrow 2Na^+ + SO_4^{2-})$,so $i \times m = 3 \times 0.01 = 0.03$.
For $0.01 \ M \ KNO_3$,$i = 2$ $(KNO_3 \rightarrow K^+ + NO_3^-)$,so $i \times m = 2 \times 0.01 = 0.02$.
For $0.015 \ M \ \text{urea}$,$i = 1$ (non-electrolyte),so $i \times m = 1 \times 0.015 = 0.015$.
For $0.015 \ M \ \text{glucose}$,$i = 1$ (non-electrolyte),so $i \times m = 1 \times 0.015 = 0.015$.
Since $0.01 \ M \ Na_2SO_4$ has the highest value of $i \times m$,it will exhibit the highest boiling point.

Which of the following aqueous solutions will exhibit the highest boiling point?
A
$0.01 \ M \ Na_2SO_4$
B
$0.01 \ M \ KNO_3$
C
$0.015 \ M$ urea
D
$0.015 \ M$ glucose

Solution

(A) The elevation in boiling point is given by the formula $\Delta T_b = i \times K_b \times m$.
Since $K_b$ is constant for the solvent,$\Delta T_b$ depends on the product of the van't Hoff factor $(i)$ and molality $(m)$.
For $0.01 \ M \ Na_2SO_4$,$i = 3$ (as it dissociates into $2Na^+ + SO_4^{2-}$),so $i \times m = 3 \times 0.01 = 0.03$.
For $0.01 \ M \ KNO_3$,$i = 2$ (as it dissociates into $K^+ + NO_3^-$),so $i \times m = 2 \times 0.01 = 0.02$.
For $0.015 \ M$ urea,$i = 1$ (non-electrolyte),so $i \times m = 1 \times 0.015 = 0.015$.
For $0.015 \ M$ glucose,$i = 1$ (non-electrolyte),so $i \times m = 1 \times 0.015 = 0.015$.
Since $0.01 \ M \ Na_2SO_4$ has the highest value of $i \times m$,it will exhibit the highest boiling point.

Two different solutions were prepared by dissolving sucrose in water having concentrations of $1 \ m$ and $2 \ m$ respectively. The value of $(T_2 - T_1)$ will be ........... $K$. (Given: $K_b$ for water $= 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$)
Question diagram
A
$1$
B
$1.86$
C
$0.52$
D
$2.86$

Solution

(C) Sucrose is a non-electrolyte,so the van't Hoff factor $i = 1$.
The boiling point elevation is given by the formula: $\Delta T_b = i K_b m$.
For the first solution $(m_1 = 1 \ m)$: $\Delta T_{b_1} = T_1 - T_0 = 1 \times 0.52 \times 1 = 0.52 \ K$.
For the second solution $(m_2 = 2 \ m)$: $\Delta T_{b_2} = T_2 - T_0 = 1 \times 0.52 \times 2 = 1.04 \ K$.
Subtracting the two equations: $(T_2 - T_0) - (T_1 - T_0) = 1.04 - 0.52$.
Therefore,$T_2 - T_1 = 0.52 \ K$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ solution is prepared by dissolving a $2.5 \ g$ sample of an unknown compound in $34 \ g$ of benzene,$C_6H_6$. The solution boils at $1.38 \ ^\circ C$ higher than pure benzene. Which expression gives the molar mass of the unknown compound? $K_b$ of $C_6H_6$ is $2.53 \ ^\circ C \ m^{-1}$.
A
$2.53 \times \frac{2.50}{1.38}$
B
$1.38 \times \frac{34}{2.53} \times 2.50$
C
$2.5 \times 10^3 \times \frac{2.53}{34} \times \frac{1}{1.38}$
D
$2.50 \times 10^3 \times \frac{1.38}{34} \times 2.53$

Solution

(C) The formula for the molar mass $(M_2)$ of a solute is given by:
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times K_b \times w_2}{\Delta T_b \times w_1}$
Where:
$w_2 = 2.5 \ g$ (mass of solute)
$w_1 = 34 \ g$ (mass of solvent)
$\Delta T_b = 1.38 \ ^\circ C$ (elevation in boiling point)
$K_b = 2.53 \ ^\circ C \ m^{-1}$ (ebullioscopic constant)
Substituting the values into the formula:
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times 2.53 \times 2.5}{1.38 \times 34}$
This can be written as:
$2.5 \times 10^3 \times \frac{2.53}{34} \times \frac{1}{1.38}$

MediumMCQ
The elevation in boiling point for a $0.1 \ m$ solution of a solute in $500 \ g$ of benzene is $0.51 \ K$. If $1000 \ g$ of a $0.1 \ m$ solution of the same solute in benzene is added to the above solution,the $\Delta T_b$ for the resulting solution will be ............... $K$.
A
$0.225$
B
$1.02$
C
$1.53$
D
$0.51$

Solution

(D) The elevation in boiling point is given by the formula $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
For the first solution: $0.51 = K_b \times 0.1$,so $K_b = 5.1 \ K \cdot kg \cdot mol^{-1}$.
When we mix two solutions of the same molality $(0.1 \ m)$,the resulting solution will also have a molality of $0.1 \ m$ because molality is an intensive property.
Since the molality $(m)$ of the resulting solution remains $0.1 \ m$,the elevation in boiling point $\Delta T_b$ will remain $K_b \times 0.1 = 5.1 \times 0.1 = 0.51 \ K$.

MediumMCQ
$5 \ g$ of a non-volatile organic substance with molar mass $M_A$ is dissolved in $200 \ g$ of tetrahydrofuran. If $K_b$ is the molal elevation constant of tetrahydrofuran,then $\Delta T_b$ will be:
A
$K_b / (25 M_A)$
B
$25 K_b / M_A$
C
$5 K_b / M_A$
D
$K_b / (5 M_A)$

Solution

(B) The formula for elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}$.
Moles of solute = $\frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}} = \frac{5}{M_A}$.
Mass of solvent = $200 \ g = 0.2 \ kg$.
Therefore,$m = \frac{5 / M_A}{0.2} = \frac{5}{0.2 \times M_A} = \frac{5}{M_A / 5} = \frac{25}{M_A}$.
Substituting this into the elevation formula: $\Delta T_b = K_b \times \frac{25}{M_A} = \frac{25 K_b}{M_A}$.

B
Mole fraction of solvent
C
Molality
D
Molarity

Solution

(C) The elevation of boiling point $(\Delta T_b)$ is given by the formula: $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $K_b$ is the molal elevation constant and $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Therefore,the molal elevation constant $K_b$ is the ratio of the elevation of boiling point $(\Delta T_b)$ to the molality $(m)$: $K_b = \frac{\Delta T_b}{m}$.

The boiling point of toluene is $110.7\,^oC$ and its molal elevation constant is $3.32\, K\, kg\, mol^{-1}$. The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid toluene is ............ $kJ\, mol^{-1}$.
A
$34$
B
$0.84$
C
$17$
D
$0.51$

Solution

(A) The molal elevation constant $(K_b)$ is related to the enthalpy of vaporization $(\Delta_{vap}H)$ by the formula: $K_b = \frac{R \times T_b^2 \times M}{1000 \times \Delta_{vap}H}$.
Here,$T_b = 110.7 273.15 = 383.85\, K$.
$R = 8.314\, J\, K^{-1}\, mol^{-1}$.
$M$ (molar mass of toluene,$C_7H_8$) = $92\, g\, mol^{-1}$.
Rearranging for $\Delta_{vap}H$: $\Delta_{vap}H = \frac{R \times T_b^2 \times M}{1000 \times K_b}$.
$\Delta_{vap}H = \frac{8.314 \times (383.85)^2 \times 92}{1000 \times 3.32}$.
$\Delta_{vap}H = \frac{8.314 \times 147340.82 \times 92}{3320} \approx 33945\, J\, mol^{-1} \approx 34\, kJ\, mol^{-1}$.

When $0.5 \ g$ of anthracene is dissolved in $35 \ g$ of chloroform,the boiling point increases by $0.3 \ K$. If the $K_b$ value for $CHCl_3$ is $3.9 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,the experimental molar mass of anthracene is ......... $g \ mol^{-1}$.
A
$178$
B
$185.7$
C
$212.5$
D
$192$

Solution

(B) The formula for the elevation of boiling point is $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $m = \frac{w_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times w_1}$,where $w_2$ is the mass of solute,$M_2$ is the molar mass of solute,and $w_1$ is the mass of solvent in grams.
Given: $\Delta T_b = 0.3 \ K$,$w_2 = 0.5 \ g$,$w_1 = 35 \ g$,$K_b = 3.9 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.3 = \frac{3.9 \times 0.5 \times 1000}{M_2 \times 35}$.
$M_2 = \frac{3.9 \times 0.5 \times 1000}{0.3 \times 35} = \frac{1950}{10.5} \approx 185.7 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

DifficultMCQ
$0.15 \ g$ of a solute is dissolved in $15 \ g$ of a solvent. If the solution boils at a temperature $0.215 \ K$ higher than the boiling point of the pure solvent,what is the molar mass of the solute? $(K_b = 2.15 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1})$
A
$10$
B
$100$
C
$151$
D
$215$

Solution

(B) The formula for elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality.
Molality $m = \frac{w_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times w_1}$,where $w_2$ is the mass of solute,$M_2$ is the molar mass of solute,and $w_1$ is the mass of solvent in grams.
Given: $\Delta T_b = 0.215 \ K$,$w_2 = 0.15 \ g$,$w_1 = 15 \ g$,$K_b = 2.15 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.215 = \frac{2.15 \times 0.15 \times 1000}{M_2 \times 15}$.
$0.215 = \frac{2.15 \times 150}{M_2 \times 15}$.
$0.215 = \frac{2.15 \times 10}{M_2}$.
$M_2 = \frac{21.5}{0.215} = 100 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

If the enthalpy of vaporization is approximately the same,for which of the following will the value of the ebullioscopic constant $(K_b)$ be maximum?
A
Naphthalene
B
Toluene
C
Benzene
D
Water

Solution

(A) The ebullioscopic constant $(K_b)$ is given by the formula: $K_b = \frac{R \cdot M_1 \cdot T_b^2}{1000 \cdot \Delta H_{vap}}$.
Here,$R$ is the gas constant,$M_1$ is the molar mass of the solvent,$T_b$ is the boiling point of the solvent,and $\Delta H_{vap}$ is the enthalpy of vaporization.
Given that $\Delta H_{vap}$ is approximately the same for all,$K_b$ is directly proportional to $M_1 \cdot T_b^2$.
Comparing the molar masses $(M_1)$ and boiling points $(T_b)$:
$1$. Naphthalene $(C_{10}H_8)$: $M_1 = 128 \ g/mol$,$T_b = 491 \ K$
$2$. Toluene $(C_7H_8)$: $M_1 = 92 \ g/mol$,$T_b = 384 \ K$
$3$. Benzene $(C_6H_6)$: $M_1 = 78 \ g/mol$,$T_b = 353 \ K$
$4$. Water $(H_2O)$: $M_1 = 18 \ g/mol$,$T_b = 373 \ K$
Calculating the product $M_1 \cdot T_b^2$ shows that Naphthalene has the highest value due to its high molar mass and high boiling point.

When $3 \ g$ of a non-volatile solute is dissolved in $200 \ mL$ of water, the boiling point of the solution becomes $100.52 \ ^oC$. If $K_b$ for water is $0.6 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$, the molar mass of the solute is ......... $g \ mol^{-1}$.
A
$10.5$
B
$12.6$
C
$15.7$
D
$17.3$

Solution

(D) Given: Mass of solute $(w_2)$ = $3 \ g$, Volume of water = $200 \ mL$, so Mass of solvent $(w_1)$ = $200 \ g = 0.2 \ kg$.
Boiling point of solution $(T_b)$ = $100.52 \ ^oC$, Boiling point of pure water $(T_b^o)$ = $100 \ ^oC$.
Elevation in boiling point $(\Delta T_b)$ = $T_b - T_b^o = 100.52 - 100 = 0.52 \ K$.
Formula: $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m = K_b \times \frac{w_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times w_1}$.
Substituting values: $0.52 = 0.6 \times \frac{3 \times 1000}{M_2 \times 200}$.
$0.52 = 0.6 \times \frac{15}{M_2}$.
$M_2 = \frac{0.6 \times 15}{0.52} = \frac{9}{0.52} \approx 17.3 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

A
$1.02$
B
$0.51$
C
$3.06$
D
$1.51$

Solution

(B) Weight of solute $(w) = 1 \ g$
Weight of solvent $(W) = 75 \ g$
Boiling point of solution $= 100.114 \ ^oC$
Boiling point of solvent $= 100 \ ^oC$
$\Delta T = 100.114 - 100 = 0.114 \ ^oC$
Molecular weight of solute $(m) = 60.1$
Boiling point elevation constant $(K_b) = ?$
The formula for boiling point elevation is $\Delta T = K_b \times m_{olality} = K_b \times \frac{w \times 1000}{m \times W}$
Rearranging for $K_b$: $K_b = \frac{\Delta T \times m \times W}{w \times 1000}$
$K_b = \frac{0.114 \times 60.1 \times 75}{1 \times 1000}$
$K_b = \frac{513.855}{1000} \approx 0.513 \ ^oC \ kg \ mol^{-1}$

$373.202$
B
$373.15$

The boiling point of benzene is $353.23 \, K$. When $1.80 \, g$ of a non-volatile solute was dissolved in $90 \, g$ of benzene,the boiling point is raised to $354.11 \, K$. Calculate the molar mass of the solute. $K_{b}$ for benzene is $2.53 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$.

Solution

(N/A) The elevation in boiling point $(\Delta T_{b})$ is given by: $\Delta T_{b} = T_{b} - T_{b}^{\circ} = 354.11 \, K - 353.23 \, K = 0.88 \, K$.
The formula for molar mass $(M_{2})$ of the solute is: $M_{2} = \frac{K_{b} \times w_{2} \times 1000}{\Delta T_{b} \times w_{1}}$.
Substituting the given values: $M_{2} = \frac{2.53 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1} \times 1.80 \, g \times 1000 \, g \, kg^{-1}}{0.88 \, K \times 90 \, g} = 58 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.
Thus,the molar mass of the solute is $58 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.

Boiling point of water at $750 \, mm \, Hg$ is $99.63^{\circ} \, C$. How much sucrose is to be added to $500 \, g$ of water such that it boils at $100^{\circ} \, C$?

Solution

(D) The elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_{b} = 100^{\circ} \, C - 99.63^{\circ} \, C = 0.37 \, K$.
Mass of solvent $(w_{1}) = 500 \, g$.
Molar mass of sucrose $(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}) (M_{2}) = 342 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.
Molal elevation constant $(K_{b})$ for water is $0.52 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$.
Using the formula $\Delta T_{b} = \frac{K_{b} \times 1000 \times w_{2}}{M_{2} \times w_{1}}$,we get:
$w_{2} = \frac{\Delta T_{b} \times M_{2} \times w_{1}}{K_{b} \times 1000} = \frac{0.37 \times 342 \times 500}{0.52 \times 1000} \approx 121.67 \, g$.
Thus,$121.67 \, g$ of sucrose must be added.

What is elevation in boiling point? Explain.

Solution

(N/A) The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapour pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure $(1.013 \ bar)$.
When a non-volatile solute is added to a pure solvent,the vapour pressure of the resulting solution decreases compared to the pure solvent at the same temperature.
Because the vapour pressure of the solution is lower,it must be heated to a higher temperature to reach the atmospheric pressure $(1.013 \ bar)$.
This increase in the boiling point of the solution compared to the pure solvent is known as the elevation in boiling point,denoted by $\Delta T_b$.

What is molal elevation? Explain.

Solution

(N/A) The elevation in boiling point is defined as the increase in the boiling point of a solution when $1 \ mol$ of a non-volatile solute is dissolved in $1 \ kg$ of solvent.
The boiling point of a solution is always higher than that of the pure solvent. This elevation depends on the number of solute particles rather than their nature.
Let $T_{b}^{0}$ be the boiling point of the pure solvent and $T_{b}$ be the boiling point of the solution. The increase in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_{b} = T_{b} - T_{b}^{0}$.
For dilute solutions,the elevation of boiling point $(\Delta T_{b})$ is directly proportional to the molal concentration $(m)$ of the solute:
$\Delta T_{b} \propto m$
$\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m$
Where $K_{b}$ is the Boiling Point Elevation Constant or Ebullioscopic Constant. Its unit is $K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
If $w_{2}$ grams of solute with molar mass $M_{2}$ are dissolved in $w_{1}$ grams of solvent,the molality $(m)$ is:
$m = \frac{w_{2} \times 1000}{M_{2} \times w_{1}}$
Substituting $m$ into the equation for $\Delta T_{b}$:
$\Delta T_{b} = \frac{K_{b} \times 1000 \times w_{2}}{M_{2} \times w_{1}}$
Rearranging to find the molar mass of the solute:
$M_{2} = \frac{1000 \times w_{2} \times K_{b}}{\Delta T_{b} \times w_{1}}$

Give the unit for the molal elevation constant in boiling point.
A
$K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
B
$K \ m^{-1}$
C
$K \ kg \ mol$
D
$K \ mol \ kg^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The molal elevation constant $(K_b)$ is defined by the equation: $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $\Delta T_b$ is the elevation in boiling point $(K)$ and $m$ is the molality $(mol \ kg^{-1})$.
Rearranging for $K_b$: $K_b = \frac{\Delta T_b}{m} = \frac{K}{mol \ kg^{-1}} = K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Thus,the unit is $K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.

D
$K_b = \frac{M_1 \times T_b^2}{1000 \times \Delta_{vap}H}$

Solution

(A) The boiling point elevation constant $(K_b)$,also known as the ebullioscopic constant,is defined by the formula:
$K_b = \frac{R \times M_1 \times T_b^2}{1000 \times \Delta_{vap}H}$
Where:
$R$ is the universal gas constant,
$M_1$ is the molar mass of the solvent,
$T_b$ is the boiling point of the pure solvent in Kelvin,
$\Delta_{vap}H$ is the enthalpy of vaporization of the solvent.

Explain why on addition of $1 \ mol$ of $NaCl$ to $1 \ litre$ of water,the boiling point of water increases,while addition of $1 \ mol$ of methyl alcohol to one litre of water decreases its boiling point.

Solution

(N/A) The boiling point of a liquid depends on its vapor pressure relative to the atmospheric pressure. At a fixed atmospheric pressure,a lower vapor pressure leads to a higher boiling point,and vice-versa.
$NaCl$ is a non-volatile solute. When added to water,it occupies the surface area and reduces the escaping tendency of water molecules,thereby lowering the vapor pressure of the solution. Consequently,the boiling point of water increases.
Conversely,methyl alcohol $(CH_3OH)$ is more volatile than water. Its addition increases the total vapor pressure of the solution,which leads to a decrease in the boiling point of the resulting mixture.

If the boiling point of water is $100 \,^{\circ}C$,how many grams of $NaCl$ must be added to $500 \,g$ of water to increase the boiling point by approximately $1 \,^{\circ}C$ (in $,g$)? Given $(K_{b})_{H_2O} = 0.52 \,K \cdot kg/mol$.
A
$2.182$
B
$7.03$
C
$14.06$
D
$28.12$

Solution

(D) The elevation in boiling point is given by the formula: $\Delta T_{b} = i \times K_{b} \times m$.
For $NaCl$,the van't Hoff factor $i = 2$.
The molality $m$ is defined as: $m = \frac{W_{NaCl} \times 1000}{M_{NaCl} \times W_{H_2O(g)}}$.
Given $\Delta T_{b} = 1 \,K$,$K_{b} = 0.52 \,K \cdot kg/mol$,$M_{NaCl} = 58.5 \,g/mol$,and $W_{H_2O} = 500 \,g$.
Substituting the values: $1 = 2 \times 0.52 \times \frac{W_{NaCl} \times 1000}{58.5 \times 500}$.
Solving for $W_{NaCl}$: $W_{NaCl} = \frac{1 \times 58.5 \times 500}{2 \times 0.52 \times 1000} = 28.125 \,g$.

A
$250$
B
$425$
C
$124$
D
$854$

Solution

(A) The formula for elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{3.00 / M}{100 / 1000} = \frac{30}{M} \, mol \, kg^{-1}$.
Given $\Delta T_b = 0.60 \, K$ and $K_b = 5.0 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.60 = 5.0 \times \left( \frac{30}{M} \right)$.
$0.60 = \frac{150}{M}$.
$M = \frac{150}{0.60} = 250 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.

Solution

(D) Given:
Mass of solute $(w_2)$ $= 2.5 \times 10^{-3} \ kg = 2.5 \ g$
Mass of solvent $(w_1)$ $= 75 \times 10^{-3} \ kg = 75 \ g$
$K_b = 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
Boiling point of solution $(T_b)$ $= 373.535 \ K$
Boiling point of pure water $(T_b^o)$ $= 373.15 \ K$
Elevation in boiling point $(\Delta T_b)$ $= T_b - T_b^o = 373.535 - 373.15 = 0.385 \ K$
Formula: $\Delta T_b = K_b \times \frac{w_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times w_1}$
$0.385 = 0.52 \times \frac{2.5 \times 1000}{M_2 \times 75}$
$M_2 = \frac{0.52 \times 2500}{0.385 \times 75} = \frac{1300}{28.875} \approx 45.02 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
Rounding to the nearest integer,the molar mass is $45 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

$2 \, g$ of a non-volatile non-electrolyte solute is dissolved in $200 \, g$ of two different solvents $A$ and $B$ whose ebullioscopic constants are in the ratio of $1: 8$.

A
$8$
B
$16$
C
$4$
D
$24$

Solution

(A) The elevation in boiling point is given by the formula $\Delta T_b = K_b \cdot m$,where $K_b$ is the ebullioscopic constant and $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Since the mass of the solute and the mass of the solvent are the same for both solutions,the molality $m$ is identical for both solvents $A$ and $B$.
Given the ratio of ebullioscopic constants $\frac{(K_b)_A}{(K_b)_B} = \frac{1}{8}$.
Therefore,the ratio of the elevation in boiling points is $\frac{(\Delta T_b)_A}{(\Delta T_b)_B} = \frac{(K_b)_A \cdot m}{(K_b)_B \cdot m} = \frac{(K_b)_A}{(K_b)_B} = \frac{1}{8}$.
Comparing this to $\frac{x}{y}$,we get $x = 1$ and $y = 8$.
The value of $y$ is $8$.

Boiling point of a $2\%$ aqueous solution of a non-volatile solute $A$ is equal to the boiling point of an $8\%$ aqueous solution of a non-volatile solute $B$. The relation between molecular weights of $A$ and $B$ is:
A
$M_A = 4M_B$
B
$M_B = 4M_A$
C
$M_A = 8M_B$
D
$M_B = 8M_A$

Solution

(B) For a dilute aqueous solution,the elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_B = K_B \times m$,where $m$ is the molality.
Since the boiling points are equal,the elevation in boiling point is the same,so the molalities must be equal: $m_A = m_B$.
For $A$: $2 \ g$ of solute in $98 \ g$ of solvent. Molality $m_A = \frac{2 / M_A}{98 / 1000} = \frac{2000}{98 M_A}$.
For $B$: $8 \ g$ of solute in $92 \ g$ of solvent. Molality $m_B = \frac{8 / M_B}{92 / 1000} = \frac{8000}{92 M_B}$.
Equating $m_A = m_B$: $\frac{2000}{98 M_A} = \frac{8000}{92 M_B}$.
$\frac{1}{98 M_A} = \frac{4}{92 M_B}$.
$M_B = \frac{4 \times 98}{92} M_A = \frac{392}{92} M_A \approx 4.26 M_A$.
Given the standard approximation often used in such problems where the mass of solvent is taken as $100 \ g$ (assuming dilute solution),the ratio becomes $\frac{2/M_A}{100} = \frac{8/M_B}{100}$,which leads to $M_B = 4M_A$.

The boiling point (in $K$) measured at $1 \, atm$ pressure is closest to: [Ebullioscopic constant,$K_{b}$ for water is $0.52 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$. Consider the boiling point of pure water to be $373.15 \, K$]
A
$373.15$
B
$373.10$
C
$373.20$
D
$373.25$

Solution

(C) Given,mass of glucose $(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6})$,$w_{2} = 18 \, g$.
Mass of solvent (water),$w_{1} = 1 \, kg$.
$K_{b}$ of water $= 0.52 \, K \, kg \, mol^{-1}$.
Molar mass of glucose $(M_{2}) = 6 \times 12 + 12 \times 1 + 6 \times 16 = 180 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.
Number of moles of glucose $(n_{2}) = \frac{18 \, g}{180 \, g \, mol^{-1}} = 0.1 \, mol$.
Molality $(m) = \frac{n_{2}}{w_{1} \text{ (in kg)}} = \frac{0.1 \, mol}{1 \, kg} = 0.1 \, m$.
Elevation in boiling point,$\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m = 0.52 \times 0.1 = 0.052 \, K$.
Boiling point of solution,$T_{b} = T_{b}^{\circ} + \Delta T_{b} = 373.15 \, K + 0.052 \, K = 373.202 \, K$.
Thus,the boiling point is closest to $373.20 \, K$.

Solution

(B) The elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_b = T_b - T_b^\circ = 373.52 \ K - 373 \ K = 0.52 \ K$.
Using the formula $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $m = \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{mass of solvent in } g}$.
Substituting the values: $0.52 = 0.52 \times \frac{2}{M} \times \frac{1000}{20}$.
$1 = \frac{2}{M} \times 50$.
$M = 100 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

If the boiling points of two solvents $X$ and $Y$ (having same molecular weights) are in the ratio $2 : 1$ and their enthalpies of vaporization are in the ratio $1 : 2$,then the boiling point elevation constant of $X$ is $\underline{ m }$ times the boiling point elevation constant of $Y$. The value of $m$ is $.....$. (Nearest integer)
A
$8$
B
$6$
C

D
$2$

Solution

(A) The boiling point elevation constant $K_B$ is given by the formula: $K_B = \frac{R \cdot T_B^2 \cdot M}{1000 \cdot \Delta H_{vap}}$.
Since the molecular weights $M$ are the same and $R$ is a constant,we have $K_B \propto \frac{T_B^2}{\Delta H_{vap}}$.
Given $\frac{(T_B)_X}{(T_B)_Y} = \frac{2}{1}$ and $\frac{(\Delta H)_X}{(\Delta H)_Y} = \frac{1}{2}$.
Therefore,$\frac{(K_B)_X}{(K_B)_Y} = \left( \frac{(T_B)_X}{(T_B)_Y} \right)^2 \times \frac{(\Delta H)_Y}{(\Delta H)_X}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{(K_B)_X}{(K_B)_Y} = (2)^2 \times \left( \frac{2}{1} \right) = 4 \times 2 = 8$.
Thus,$m = 8$.

Solution

(D) Mass of solution = $100 \, g$.
Mass of $NaCl = 29.25 \, g$,Mass of $MgCl_2 = 19 \, g$.
Mass of solvent $(H_2O)$ = $100 - (29.25 + 19) = 51.75 \, g = 0.05175 \, kg$.
For $NaCl$ $(i=2)$: Moles = $29.25 / 58.5 = 0.5 \, mol$.
For $MgCl_2$ $(i=3)$: Moles = $19 / 95 = 0.2 \, mol$.
Total moles of ions = $(i_{NaCl} \times n_{NaCl}) + (i_{MgCl_2} \times n_{MgCl_2}) = (2 \times 0.5) + (3 \times 0.2) = 1.0 + 0.6 = 1.6 \, mol$.
$\Delta T_b = i \times K_b \times m = K_b \times (n_{total_ions} / \text{mass of solvent in kg}) = 0.52 \times (1.6 / 0.05175) \approx 16.07 \, ^{\circ}C$.
Boiling point of solution = $100 + 16.07 = 116.07 \, ^{\circ}C$.
Nearest integer is $116$.

(B) From the graph,the boiling points of pure solvents $X$ and $Y$ are $360 \ K$ and $367 \ K$ respectively,and for their $NaCl$ solutions are $362 \ K$ and $368 \ K$ respectively.
For $NaCl$ (completely dissociated,$i = 2$):
$(\Delta T_b)_X = i (K_b)_X m = 362 - 360 = 2 \ K$
$(\Delta T_b)_Y = i (K_b)_Y m = 368 - 367 = 1 \ K$
Dividing the two equations: $\frac{(K_b)_X}{(K_b)_Y} = \frac{2}{1} = 2$.
For solute $S$ undergoing dimerization,the Van't Hoff factor is $i = 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$.
Given $\alpha_Y = 0.7$,so $i_Y = 1 - \frac{0.7}{2} = 0.65$.
Given $(\Delta T_b)_X = 3 (\Delta T_b)_Y$ for solute $S$:
$i_X (K_b)_X m = 3 \cdot i_Y (K_b)_Y m$
$(1 - \frac{\alpha_X}{2}) \cdot (K_b)_X = 3 \cdot (0.65) \cdot (K_b)_Y$
$(1 - \frac{\alpha_X}{2}) \cdot 2 = 1.95$
$1 - \frac{\alpha_X}{2} = 0.975$

Solution

(A) The elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_b = i \times K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality.
For Vessel-$1$: $(\Delta T_b)_1 = i_1 \times K_b \times \frac{w_2 / GMM_X}{w_1 / 1000}$.
For Vessel-$2$: $(\Delta T_b)_2 = i_2 \times K_b \times \frac{w_2 / GMM_Y}{w_1 / 1000}$.
Taking the ratio: $\frac{(\Delta T_b)_1}{(\Delta T_b)_2} = \frac{i_1}{i_2} \times \frac{GMM_Y}{GMM_X}$.
Given $GMM_X = 0.8 \times GMM_Y$ and $i_1 = 1.2 \times i_2$.
Substituting these values: $\frac{(\Delta T_b)_1}{(\Delta T_b)_2} = \frac{1.2 \times i_2}{i_2} \times \frac{GMM_Y}{0.8 \times GMM_Y} = \frac{1.2}{0.8} = 1.5$.

Solution

(A) The elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_{b} = i \cdot K_{b} \cdot m$,where $i$ is the van't Hoff factor and $m$ is the molality (proportional to concentration $C$).
Since $K_{b}$ is constant for the solvent,$\Delta T_{b} \propto i \cdot C$.
Solution$i \cdot C$
$(i) \ 10^{-4} \ M \ NaCl$$2 \times 10^{-4}$

$(iii) \ 10^{-3} \ M \ NaCl$$2 \times 10^{-3}$
$(iv) \ 10^{-2} \ M \ NaCl$$2 \times 10^{-2}$

Comparing the values of $i \cdot C$: $1 \times 10^{-4} < 2 \times 10^{-4} < 2 \times 10^{-3} < 2 \times 10^{-2}$.

If $K_{b}$ denotes the molal elevation constant of water,then the boiling point of an aqueous solution containing $36 \ g$ of glucose (molar mass $= 180 \ g/mol$) per $1 \ kg$ of water is:
A
$100 + 0.2 K_{b}$
B
$100 + 0.1 K_{b}$
C
$100 + 0.02 K_{b}$
D
$100 + 0.01 K_{b}$

Solution

(A) The molality $(m)$ of the solution is calculated as: $m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}$.
Given mass of glucose $= 36 \ g$,molar mass $= 180 \ g/mol$.
Moles of glucose $= \frac{36}{180} = 0.2 \ mol$.
Assuming the density of the solution is approximately $1 \ g/mL$,$1 \ dm^3$ (or $1 \ L$) of solution contains $1000 \ g$ of water,which is $1 \ kg$.
Thus,$m = 0.2 \ mol / 1 \ kg = 0.2 \ m$.
The elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m = K_{b} \times 0.2 = 0.2 K_{b}$.
The boiling point of the solution $= 100 + \Delta T_{b} = 100 + 0.2 K_{b}$.

The solution containing $18 \ g \ dm^{-3}$ of glucose (molar mass $180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) in water and another containing $6 \ g \ dm^{-3}$ of solute $A$ in water boil at the same temperature. What is the molar mass of $A$?
A
$54 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
B
$90 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$120 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(D) Since both solutions boil at the same temperature,their elevation in boiling point $(\Delta T_b)$ must be the same.
Since $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,and $K_b$ is the same for the same solvent (water),the molality $(m)$ of both solutions must be equal.
Given concentration in $g \ dm^{-3}$ is $C = \frac{W}{V}$. For a fixed volume of solvent,the molarity and molality are proportional to the concentration divided by the molar mass.
$\frac{C_{\text{glucose}}}{M_{\text{glucose}}} = \frac{C_A}{M_A}$
Substituting the given values:
$\frac{18}{180} = \frac{6}{M_A}$
$0.1 = \frac{6}{M_A}$
$M_A = \frac{6}{0.1} = 60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

B
$3.0 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$
C

D
$3.5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(C) The elevation in boiling point is given by the formula: $\Delta T_b = T_b - T_b^\circ$
Given,$T_b = 319.8 \ K$ and $T_b^\circ = 319.5 \ K$.
So,$\Delta T_b = 319.8 \ K - 319.5 \ K = 0.3 \ K$.
The formula for elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality.
Given $m = 0.12 \ m$.
Therefore,$K_b = \frac{\Delta T_b}{m} = \frac{0.3 \ K}{0.12 \ mol \ kg^{-1}} = 2.5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

Given: $\Delta T_{b} = 0.2 \ K$ and $K_{b} = 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Rearranging the formula to solve for molality $(m)$: $m = \frac{\Delta T_{b}}{K_{b}}$.
Substituting the values: $m = \frac{0.2}{0.52} \approx 0.3846 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.

A
$0.13$
B

C
$0.38$
D
$0.54$

Solution

(A) The formula for boiling point elevation is $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $(m)$ = $\frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}$.
Moles of urea = $\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{15 \ g}{60 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.25 \ mol$.
Mass of solvent (water) = $1000 \ g = 1 \ kg$.
Therefore,$m = \frac{0.25 \ mol}{1 \ kg} = 0.25 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Now,$\Delta T_{b} = 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1} \times 0.25 \ mol \ kg^{-1} = 0.13 \ K$.

Solution

Molality $m = \frac{n_{solute}}{W_{solvent} \text{ (in kg)}}$.
Substituting the values: $0.3 \ K = 1.8 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1} \times \frac{n_{solute}}{0.3 \ kg}$.
$n_{solute} = \frac{0.3 \times 0.3}{1.8} \ mol$.
$n_{solute} = \frac{0.09}{1.8} \ mol = 0.05 \ mol$.

When $0.01 \ mol$ of nonvolatile solute is dissolved in a certain solvent,calculate the mass of the solvent in $kg$ if $\Delta T_{b} = 0.6 \ K$ and $K_{b}$ for the solvent $= 2 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$. (in $kg$)
A
$0.014$
B
$0.028$
C
$0.033$
D
$0.045$

Solution

(C) The formula for elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in } kg}$.
Given: $\Delta T_{b} = 0.6 \ K$,$K_{b} = 2 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,and moles of solute $= 0.01 \ mol$.
Substituting the values: $0.6 = 2 \times \frac{0.01}{W_{solvent}}$.
$W_{solvent} = \frac{2 \times 0.01}{0.6} = \frac{0.02}{0.6} = \frac{1}{30} \ kg$.
$W_{solvent} \approx 0.0333 \ kg$.
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

A
$0.480$
B
$0.33$
C
$0.58$
D
$0.63$

Solution

(C) The formula for boiling point elevation is given by $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $\Delta T_b$ is the boiling point elevation,$K_b$ is the molal boiling point elevation constant,and $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Given: $\Delta T_b = 1.75 \ K$ and $K_b = 3 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values into the formula: $1.75 = 3 \times m$.
Solving for $m$: $m = \frac{1.75}{3} \approx 0.5833 \ m$.
Rounding to two decimal places,we get $0.58 \ m$.

Calculate the molality of the solution containing a nonvolatile solute if the boiling point elevation of the solution is $0.39 \ K$.
[$K_{b}$ of water $= 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$]
A
$0.52 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$
B
$0.65 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$
C
$0.75 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$
D
$0.86 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$

Solution

(C) The formula for boiling point elevation is given by: $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m$.
Here,$\Delta T_{b} = 0.39 \ K$ and $K_{b} = 0.52 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Rearranging the formula to solve for molality $(m)$: $m = \frac{\Delta T_{b}}{K_{b}}$.
Substituting the values: $m = \frac{0.39}{0.52} = 0.75 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

EasyMCQ
Calculate the number of moles of nonvolatile solute dissolved in $0.5 \ kg$ solvent if molal elevation constant for solvent is $2 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$ and the elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_{b} = 0.8 \ K$.
A
$0.1$
B
$0.2$
C
$0.3$
D
$0.4$

Solution

(B) The formula for elevation in boiling point is given by: $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $(m)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute $(n_{solute})$ divided by the mass of the solvent in kilograms $(W_{solvent(kg)})$.
So,$\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times \frac{n_{solute}}{W_{solvent(kg)}}$.
Given: $\Delta T_{b} = 0.8 \ K$,$K_{b} = 2 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,and $W_{solvent(kg)} = 0.5 \ kg$.
Substituting the values: $0.8 = 2 \times \frac{n_{solute}}{0.5}$.
$0.8 = 4 \times n_{solute}$.
$n_{solute} = \frac{0.8}{4} = 0.2 \ mol$.

DifficultMCQ
Calculate the molar mass of a non-volatile solute when $5 \ g$ of it is dissolved in $50 \ g$ of solvent,which boils at $119.6^{\circ} C$. $[K_{b} = 3.2 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$,boiling point of pure solvent $= 118^{\circ} C]$.
A
$180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
B
$210 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$200 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D
$190 \ g \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(C) The elevation in boiling point is given by $\Delta T_{b} = T_{b} - T_{b}^{\circ} = 119.6^{\circ} C - 118^{\circ} C = 1.6 \ K$.
Using the formula $\Delta T_{b} = \frac{1000 \times K_{b} \times W_{2}}{M_{2} \times W_{1}}$,where $W_{2} = 5 \ g$,$W_{1} = 50 \ g$,and $K_{b} = 3.2 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Rearranging for molar mass $M_{2}$: $M_{2} = \frac{1000 \times 3.2 \times 5}{1.6 \times 50}$.
$M_{2} = \frac{16000}{80} = 200 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

Given $\Delta T_{b} = 1.75 \ K$ and $K_{b} = 3.5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $1.75 \ K = 3.5 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1} \times m$.
Solving for molality: $m = \frac{1.75}{3.5} = 0.50 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.

EasyMCQ
Which of the following equations correctly represents the molar mass of a solute by knowing the boiling point elevation?
A
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times K_b \times W_2}{\Delta T_b \times W_1}$
B
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times K_b \times W_1}{\Delta T_b \times W_2}$
C
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times \Delta T_b \times W_1}{K_b \times W_2}$
D
$M_2 = \frac{1000 \times K_b \times W_2}{\Delta T_b \times W_1}$

Solution

(A) The elevation in boiling point $(\Delta T_b)$ is given by the formula: $\Delta T_b = K_b \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $(m)$ is defined as the number of moles of solute $(n_2)$ per kilogram of solvent $(W_1 \text{ in grams})$.
$m = \frac{n_2 \times 1000}{W_1} = \frac{W_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times W_1}$.
Substituting this into the elevation formula: $\Delta T_b = \frac{K_b \times W_2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times W_1}$.
Rearranging for the molar mass of the solute $(M_2)$: $M_2 = \frac{1000 \times K_b \times W_2}{\Delta T_b \times W_1}$.

The molal elevation boiling point constant for water is $0.513 \ ^{\circ}C \ kg \ mol^{-1}$. Calculate the boiling point of the solution if $0.1 \ mol$ of sugar is dissolved in $200 \ g$ of water. (in $^{\circ}C$)
A
$100.513$
B
$100.256$
C
$100.0513$
D
$100.025$

Solution

(B) The formula for elevation in boiling point is $\Delta T_{b} = K_{b} \times m$.
First,calculate the molality $(m)$: $m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{0.1 \ mol}{0.2 \ kg} = 0.5 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Now,calculate the elevation in boiling point: $\Delta T_{b} = 0.513 \ ^{\circ}C \ kg \ mol^{-1} \times 0.5 \ mol \ kg^{-1} = 0.2565 \ ^{\circ}C$.
The boiling point of the solution $(T)$ is $T_{b} + \Delta T_{b} = 100 \ ^{\circ}C + 0.2565 \ ^{\circ}C = 100.2565 \ ^{\circ}C$,which is approximately $100.256 \ ^{\circ}C$.
