P and Q combines to form two compounds \(\mathrm{PQ}_2\) and \(\mathrm{PQ}_3\). If \(1 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{P} Q_2\) is dissolved in 51 g benzene the depression of freezing point becomes \(0.8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). On the other hand if \(1 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{PQ}_3\) is dissolved in 51 g of benzene, the depression of freezing point becomes \(0.625^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The atomic mass of \(P\) and \(Q\) are \(\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}\right.\) of benzene \(\left.=5.1 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 55,35

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & 0.8=\frac{5.1 \times 1000 \times 1}{51 \times \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{PQ}_2}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{PQ}_2}=125 \\ & 0.625=\frac{5.1 \times 1000 \times 1}{51 \times \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{PQ}_3}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{PQ}_3}=160 \end{aligned}\)…
