The boiling point of a \(4 \%\) aqueous solution of a non-volatile solute \(\mathrm{P}\) is equal to the boiling point of \(\mathrm{X} \%\) solution of another non-volatile solute \(\mathrm{Q}\).
The relation between their Molar masses is \(\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{Q}}=4 \mathrm{~Mp}\). What is \(\mathrm{X}\) ?

  1. A 15.39
  2. B 14.29
  3. C 16.01
  4. D 8.01

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 14.29

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The elevation in boiling point is given by \(\Delta T_b = K_b \times m\), where \(m\) is the molality of the solution. Since the boiling points of the two solutions are equal, their elevations in boiling point are equal, which implies their molalities must be equal, assuming the…
