JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 31st August Evening Shift - No. 15)

1.22 g of an organic acid is separately dissolved in 100 g of benzene (Kb = 2.6 K kg mol$$-$$1) and 100 g of acetone (Kb = 1.7 K kg mol$$-$$1). The acid is known to dimerize in benzene but remain as a monomer in acetone. The boiling point of the solution in acetone increases by 0.17$$^\circ$$C. The increase in boiling point of solution in benzene in $$^\circ$$C is x $$\times$$ 10$$-$$2. The value of x is ______________. (Nearest integer) [Atomic mass : C = 12.0, H = 1.0, O =16.0]
Answer
13

Explanation

With benzene as solvent

$$\Delta$$Tb = i Kb m

$$\Delta$$Tb = $${1 \over 2}$$ $$\times$$ 2.6 $$\times$$ $${{1.22/{M_w}} \over {100/1000}}$$ .... (1)

With Acetone as solvent

$$\Delta$$Tb = i Kb m

0.17 = 1 $$\times$$ 1.7 $$\times$$ $${{1.22/{M_w}} \over {100/1000}}$$ ..... (2)

(1) / (2)

$${{\Delta {T_b}} \over {0.17}} = {{{1 \over 2} \times 2.6 + {{1.22/{M_w}} \over {100/1000}}} \over {1 \times 1.7 \times {{1.22/{M_w}} \over {100/1000}}}}$$

$$\Delta$$Tb = $${{0.26} \over 2}$$

$$\Delta$$Tb = 13 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$2

$$\Rightarrow$$ x = 13
