When \(1.5\) g of a non-volatile solute is dissolved in \(30\) g of a solvent, the boiling point of the solvent is raised by \(2\ K\). Calculate the molar mass of the solute, given that \(K_b\) for the solvent is \(1.85\ K\ kg\ mol^{-1}\).

  1. A \(46.25\ g\ mol^{-1}\)
  2. B \(103\ g\ mol^{-1}\)
  3. C \(94\ g\ mol^{-1}\)
  4. D \(23\ g\ mol^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(46.25\ g\ mol^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \Delta T_b = K_b \cdot \frac{w_2}{M_2} \cdot \frac{1000}{w_1} \) \( M_2 = K_b \cdot \frac{w_2}{\Delta T_b} \cdot \frac{1000}{w_1} \) \( M_2 = 1.85\ K\ kg\ mol^{-1} \cdot \frac{1.5\ g}{2\ K} \cdot \frac{1000}{30\ g} \) \( M_2 = 46.25\ g\ mol^{-1} \)
