Q. The correct relation between elevation of boiling point and molar mass of solute is

MHT CETMHT CET 2018Solutions

Solution:

For dilute solutions, the elevation in boiling point is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solute in solution $(m)$

Thus, $\Delta T_{b} \propto m $

$\Delta T_{b}=k_{b} m$

Where, $k_{b}$ is molal boiling point elevation constant.

As, molality $(m)=\frac{\text { Moles of solute }\left(n_{2}\right)}{\text { Mass of solvent }\left(W_{1}\right)(\text { in } kg )}$

Moles of solute $\left(n_{2}\right)=\frac{W_{2}}{M_{2}}$

$\therefore \Delta T_{b}=\frac{k_{b} \times W_{2}}{M_{2} \times W_{1}}$

$\Rightarrow M_{2}=\frac{k_{b} \cdot W_{2}}{\Delta T_{b} \cdot W_{1}}$
