Question : 15
Total: 53
An aqueous solution of 2% non-volatile solute exerts a pressure of 1.004 bar at the normal boiling point of the solvent. What is the molecular mass of the solute ?
Solution:
Vapour pressure of pure water at the boiling point ( P 0 ) = 1 a t m = 1.013 b a r
Vapour pressure of solution( P s ) = 1.004 b a r
Let mass of solution =100 g , then, mass of solute = ( w 2 ) = 2 g
Mass of solvent( w 1 ) = 100 – 2 = 98 g
