JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 25th February Evening Shift - No. 17)

If a compound AB dissociates to the extent of 75% in an aqueous solution, the molality of the solution which shows a 2.5 K rise in the boiling point of the solution is ____________ molal. (Rounded off to the nearest integer)

[Kb = 0.52 K kg mol$$-$$1]
Answer
3

Explanation

As AB is a binary electrolyte,

$$\therefore$$ AB $$\rightleftharpoons$$ A+ + B$$-$$, n = 2

$$i = 1 + \alpha (n - 1) = 1 + {{75} \over {100}}(2 - 1) = 1.75$$

Given, $$\Delta$$Tb = 2.5 K

Kb = 0.52 K kg mol$$-$$1

$$\therefore$$ $$\Delta$$Tb = Kb $$\times$$ m $$\times$$ i

$$ \Rightarrow m = {{\Delta {T_b}} \over {{K_b} \times i}} = {{2.5} \over {0.52 \times 1.75}}$$

$$ = 2.74 \simeq 3$$ mol/kg
