\(5 \mathrm{~g}\) of non-volatile water soluble compound \(X\) is dissolved in \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) of water. The elevation in boiling point is found to be 0.25 . The molecular mass of compound \(X\) is

  1. A 35 g
  2. B 40 g
  3. C 20 g
  4. D 60 g
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 20 g

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The elevation in boiling point is, \(\begin{aligned} \Delta T_b & =\frac{1000 k_b \times w_2}{M_2 \times w_1(\text { in }(\mathrm{g}))} \Rightarrow M_2=\frac{1000 \times k_b \times 5}{0.25 \times 100} \\ \Rightarrow M_2 & =20 \mathrm{~g} \end{aligned}\)
