JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 18th March Evening Shift - No. 22)

A solute A dimerizes in water. The boiling point of a 2 molal solution of A is 100.52$$^\circ$$C. The percentage association of A is __________. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

[Use : Kb for water = 0.52 K kg mol$$-$$1 Boiling point of water = 100$$^\circ$$C]
Answer
100

Explanation

$$\Delta$$Tb = Boiling point of the solution $$-$$ Boiling point of the pure solvent

= 100.52 $$-$$ 100

= 0.52

$$ \therefore $$ $$\Delta$$Tb = Kb (iM)

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 0.52 = i $$\times$$ 0.52 $$\times$$ 2

$$ \Rightarrow $$ i = $${1 \over 2}$$

We know,

i = 1 + $$\left( {{1 \over n} - 1} \right)\beta $$

here, $$\beta$$ = degree of dimerization

n = number of particle associated

n = 2 for dimerization

$$ \therefore $$ $${1 \over 2} = 1 + \left( {{1 \over 2} - 1} \right)\beta $$

$$ \Rightarrow \beta = 1$$

$$ \therefore $$ % association = 100
