NEET · Chemistry · STD 12 -1. Solution and colligative properties

The boiling point of \(0.2 \,mol\, kg^{-1}\) solution of \(X\) in water is greater than equimolal solution of \(Y\) in water. Which one of the following statements is true in this case ?

  1. A Molecular mass of \(X\) is less than the molecular mass of \(Y.\)
  2. B \(Y\) is undergoing dissociation in water while \(X\) undergoes no change.
  3. C \(X\) is undergoing dissociation in water.
  4. D Molecular mass of \(X\) is greater than the molecular mass of \(Y.\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(X\) is undergoing dissociation in water.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta T_{b}=i K_{b} m\) For equimolal solutions, elevation in boiling point will be higher if solution undergoes dissociation i.e., \(i>1\)
