1.24 g of AX2 (molar mass 124 g mol−1) is dissolved in 1 kg of water to form a solution with boiling point of 100.015°C, while 25.4 g of AY2 (molar mass 250 g mol−1) in 2 kg of water constitutes a solution with a boiling point of 100.0260°C.
Kb(H2O) = 0.52 kg mol−1
Which of the following is correct?
Mass of \(A x_2=1.24 \mathrm{~g}\) (solute)
Molarmass of \(A X_2=124 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
Mass of water \(=1 \mathrm{~kg}\) (solvent.)
Boiling point of water \(=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Boiling point of water after adding solute \(A X_2=100.0156^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Mass of \(A Y_2=25.4 \mathrm{~g}\) (solute)
Molarmass of \(A Y_2=250 \mathrm{~g~mol}^{-1}\)
Mass of water \(=2 \mathrm{~kg}\) (Solvent)
Boiling point of water \(\mp 100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Boiling point of water after adding solute \(A y_2=100.0260^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
\(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)=0.52 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}{ }^{-1}=0.520^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\)
The ionisation of \(A x_2\) and \(A Y_2\) can be determined by calculating Van't Hoff factor.
The phenomenon given in the question is elevation in boiling point. The boiling point of solvent increases when another compound (solute) is added to it.
Relation: \(\Delta T_b=K_b \cdot i \cdot m\)
\(\Delta T_b=T_b-T_b^0\)
\(\Delta T_b \rightarrow\) Boiling point elevation
\(T_b \rightarrow\) Boiling point of solution (solvent + solute)
\(T_b^0 \rightarrow\) Boiling point of solvent
\(K_b \rightarrow\) Molal elevation constant
\(i \rightarrow\) Van't Hoff factor
\(m \rightarrow \text { Molality }=\frac{\text { Number of moles }}{\mathrm{kg} \text { of solvent }}, \text { Moles }=\frac{\text { Mass }}{\text { Molarmass }}\)
For \(A X_2\) and \(A Y_2\) (solute), Van't Hoff factor represents how many particles a solute dissociates into when dissolved in a solvent (water).
For non-electrolytes, \(i=1\)
\(\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} & A X_2: \\ & \text { Moles }=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { molarmass }}=\frac{1.249}{124 \mathrm{~g~mol^{-1}}}=0.01 \mathrm{~mol} \\ & \text { Molality }=\frac{\text { Moles }}{k_g \text { of solvent }}=\frac{0.01 \mathrm{~mol}}{1 \mathrm{~kg}}=0.01 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1} \\ & \Delta T_b=K_b \times i \times m \\ & i=\frac{\Delta T_b}{k_b \times m} \\ &=\frac{T_b-T_b^0}{K_b \times m} \end{aligned}\\ &\text { Substitute values as., } \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} i & =\frac{\left(100.0156^{\circ} \mathrm{C}-100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)}{0.52^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \times 0.01 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}} \\ & =\frac{0.0156^\circ \mathrm{C}}{0.52 \times 0.01{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}=3 \end{aligned}\)
\(i=3\) means, there are 3 particles in solution after \(A X_2\) dissolved in water.
\(A x_2 \rightarrow 1 A^{+}+2 X^{-} \quad(1+2=3)\)
\(\begin{aligned} &A x_2 \text { is completely ionised. }\\ &A Y_2: \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} \text { Moles } & =\frac{\text { Mass }}{\text { Molarmass }}=\frac{25.4 \mathrm{~g}}{250 \mathrm{g~mol}}=0.1016 \mathrm{~mol} \\ \text { Molality } & =\frac{\text { Moles }}{\mathrm{kgof}^{-1} \text { solvent }}=\frac{0.1016 \mathrm{~mol}}{2 \mathrm{~kg}}=0.050 .8 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1} \\ \Delta T_b & =k_b \times \mathrm{l}^2 \times \mathrm{m} \\ i & =\frac{\Delta T_b}{k_b \times m} \\ & =\frac{T_b-T_b^0}{k_b \times m} \end{aligned}\\ &\text { Substitute values as, } \end{aligned}\)
\(i = {{(100.0260^\circ C - 100^\circ C)} \over {0.52^\circ C\,kg\,mo{l^{ - 1}} \times 0.0508\,mol\,k{g^{ - 1}}}}\)
\(=\frac{0.0260 ^\circ \mathrm{C}}{0.52 \times 0.0508 ^\circ \mathrm{C}}\)
\(= 0.98\)
\(\approx 1\)
\(i=1\) means \(A Y_2\) is completely unionised.
\(A y_2\) not give ionised particles when dissolved in water.
So, \(A X_2\) is completely ionised and \(A Y_2\) is completely unionised.
Answer: Option 4) \(A x_2\) is fully ionised, \(A Y_2\) is completely unionised.
Arrange the following solutions in order of their increasing boiling points.
(i) \(10^{-4} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaCl}\)
(ii) \(10^{-4} \mathrm{M}\) Urea
(iii) \(10^{-3} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaCl}\)
(iv) \(10^{-2} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaCl}\)
NaCl dissociates (ideally) into two ions:
\( \mathrm{NaCl} \;\rightarrow\; \mathrm{Na^+} + \mathrm{Cl^-}, \)
so \(i \approx 2.\)
Urea (\(\mathrm{CH_4N_2O}\)) is a non‐electrolyte (does not dissociate), so \(i = 1.\)
The total particle concentration for each solution is approximately \((i \times \text{molarity})\).
(i) \(10^{-4}\,M\) NaCl
\( \text{Effective concentration} \;=\; 2 \times 10^{-4} = 2 \times 10^{-4}. \)
(ii) \(10^{-4}\,M\) Urea
\( \text{Effective concentration} \;=\; 1 \times 10^{-4} = 1 \times 10^{-4}. \)
(iii) \(10^{-3}\,M\) NaCl
\( \text{Effective concentration} \;=\; 2 \times 10^{-3} = 2 \times 10^{-3}. \)
(iv) \(10^{-2}\,M\) NaCl
\( \text{Effective concentration} \;=\; 2 \times 10^{-2} = 2 \times 10^{-2}. \)
A larger total particle concentration (and hence larger colligative effect) corresponds to a higher boiling point. Arrange from lowest to highest:
Lowest: \(10^{-4}\,M\) Urea \(\bigl[1 \times 10^{-4}\bigr]\)
Next: \(10^{-4}\,M\) NaCl \(\bigl[2 \times 10^{-4}\bigr]\)
Next: \(10^{-3}\,M\) NaCl \(\bigl[2 \times 10^{-3}\bigr]\)
Highest: \(10^{-2}\,M\) NaCl \(\bigl[2 \times 10^{-2}\bigr]\)
Hence, in the format \((\text{ii}) < (\text{i}) < (\text{iii}) < (\text{iv})\).
\( \boxed{\text{(ii) } < \text{(i) } < \text{(iii) } < \text{(iv)}} \quad \text{(Option B)} \)
When 1 g each of compounds AB and \(\mathrm{AB}_2\) are dissolved in 15 g of water separately, they increased the boiling point of water by 2.7 K and 1.5 K respectively. The atomic mass of A (in \(a m u\) ) is____________ \(\times 10^{-1}\) (Nearest integer)
(Given : Molal boiling point elevation constant is \(0.5 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) )
For AB
\(\begin{aligned} & \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}=2.7 \mathrm{~K} \\ & 2.7=1 \times 0.5 \times \mathrm{m} \\ & \mathrm{~m}=\frac{27}{5} \end{aligned}\)
Let molar mass of \(A B=x\).
So \(\frac{1 / x}{15} \times 1000=\frac{27}{5}\)
\(x=12.34\)
For \(\mathrm{AB}_2\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}=1.5 \mathrm{~K} \\ & 1.5=1 \times 0.5 \times \mathrm{m} \\ & \mathrm{~m}=3 \end{aligned}\)
Let molar mass of \(\mathrm{AB}_2=\mathrm{y}\)
So \(\frac{1 / \mathrm{y}}{15} \times 1000=3\)
\(\begin{aligned} & y=\frac{1000}{45} \\ & y=22.22 \end{aligned}\)
Now let a and b be atomic masses of A and B respectively, then
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{b}=12.34 \quad\text{...... (i)}\\ & \mathrm{~A}+2 \mathrm{~b}=22.22 \quad\text{...... (ii)}\\ & \mathrm{~B}=22.22-12.34=9.88 \end{aligned}\)
Now \(\mathrm{a}=12.34-9.88=2.46\)
\(=24.6 \times 10^{-1}=25 \times 10^{-1}\)
Boiling Point Elevation Formula:
\( \Delta T_b = i_1 \cdot m_1 \cdot K_b + i_2 \cdot m_2 \cdot K_b \)
where:
\(i_1\) and \(i_2\) are the van't Hoff factors for ethylene glycol and glucose, respectively (both are 1 since they do not dissociate in solution).
\(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are the molalities of ethylene glycol and glucose, respectively.
\(K_b\) is the ebullioscopic constant of water (\(0.52 \, \text{K kg mol}^{-1}\)).
Calculate Molality:
Each solute has 2 moles dissolved in 500 grams of water (\(0.5 \, \text{kg}\)):
\( m_1 = \frac{2 \, \text{moles}}{0.5 \, \text{kg}} = 4 \, \text{mol kg}^{-1} \)
\( m_2 = \frac{2 \, \text{moles}}{0.5 \, \text{kg}} = 4 \, \text{mol kg}^{-1} \)
Substitute into the Formula:
\( \Delta T_b = 1 \cdot 4 \cdot 0.52 + 1 \cdot 4 \cdot 0.52 = 4.16 \)
Determine Boiling Point of Solution:
The normal boiling point of water is \(373.16 \, \text{K}\).
Add the boiling point elevation to the normal boiling point:
\( T_b (\text{solution}) = 373.16 + 4.16 = 377.3 \, \text{K} \)
Thus, the boiling point of the resulting solution is \(377.3 \, \text{K}\).
A solution of two miscible liquids showing negative deviation from Raoult's law will have :
The correct answer is Option D: decreased vapor pressure, increased boiling point.
\(2.5 \mathrm{~g}\) of a non-volatile, non-electrolyte is dissolved in \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) of water at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The solution showed a boiling point elevation by \(2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Assuming the solute concentration is negligible with respect to the solvent concentration, the vapor pressure of the resulting aqueous solution is _________ \(\mathrm{mm}\) of \(\mathrm{Hg}\) (nearest integer)
[Given : Molal boiling point elevation constant of water \(\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}}\right)=0.52 \mathrm{~K} . \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\), \(1 \mathrm{~atm}\) pressure \(=760 \mathrm{~mm}\) of \(\mathrm{Hg}\), molar mass of water \(=18 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}]\)
First, we calculate the molality (m) of the solution using the boiling point elevation formula:
\( \Delta T_b = K_b \times m \)
From the problem, we know:
\( 2 = 0.52 \times m \)
Solving for m:
\( m = \frac{2}{0.52} \approx 3.846 \text{ mol/kg} \)
Next, considering the solution is highly diluted, we use the formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure:
\( \frac{\Delta P}{P^0} = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{n_{\text{solvent}}} \)
Given that molality (m) is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent:
\( \frac{\Delta P}{P^0} = \frac{m}{1000} \times M_{solvent} \)
Substitute the known values:
\( \Delta P = P^0 \times \frac{m}{1000} \times M_{solvent} \)
\( = 760 \times \frac{3.846}{1000} \times 18 \)
\( = 52.615 \text{ mm Hg} \)
Therefore, the vapor pressure of the solution:
\( P_{solution} = P^0 - \Delta P \)
\( = 760 - 52.615 \)
\( \approx 707.385 \text{ mm Hg} \)
Rounding to the nearest integer, the vapor pressure of the aqueous solution is 707 mm Hg.
A solution containing \(10 \mathrm{~g}\) of an electrolyte \(\mathrm{AB}_2\) in \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) of water boils at \(100.52^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The degree of ionization of the electrolyte \((\alpha)\) is _________ \(\times 10^{-1}\). (nearest integer)
[Given : Molar mass of \(\mathrm{AB}_2=200 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}, \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{b}}\) (molal boiling point elevation const. of water) \(=0.52 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\), boiling point of water \(=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ; \mathrm{AB}_2\) ionises as \(\mathrm{AB}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{A}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{~B}^{-}]\)
To find the degree of ionization \((\alpha)\), we need to use the boiling point elevation formula and the van't Hoff factor. The formulas we will use are:
\(\Delta T_b = i \cdot K_b \cdot m\)
where:
\(\Delta T_b\) is the boiling point elevation,
\(i\) is the van't Hoff factor,
\(K_b\) is the molal boiling point elevation constant, and
\(m\) is the molality of the solution.
Given data:
First, we calculate the molality (m):
\(m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}\)
\(= \frac{\frac{10}{200}}{0.1} \:\mathrm{mol\ kg}^{-1}\)
\(= 0.5 \:\mathrm{mol\ kg}^{-1}\)
Next, using the formula for boiling point elevation:
\(0.52 = i \cdot 0.52 \cdot 0.5\)
\(i = \frac{0.52}{0.52 \cdot 0.5}\)
\(i = \frac{1}{0.5}\)
\(i = 2\)
Now, the van't Hoff factor \(i\) is related to the degree of ionization \((\alpha)\). For the electrolyte \(\mathrm{AB}_2\), which ionizes as \(\mathrm{AB}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{A}^{2+}+2\mathrm{B}^{-}\), the van't Hoff factor \(i\) can be expressed as:
\(i = 1 + (n-1)\alpha\)
where
Substituting \(i = 2\) into the equation:
\(2 = 1 + 2 \alpha\)
\(2 - 1 = 2 \alpha\)
\(\alpha = \frac{1}{2}\)
\(\alpha = 0.5\)
The degree of ionization \((\alpha)\) is therefore
\(0.5 \times 10^{-1} = 5 \times 10^{-2}\).
Hence, the degree of ionization of the electrolyte \((\alpha)\) is approximately 5 \(\times 10^{-1}\) (the nearest integer is 5).
