2.0g of a non-electrolyte X dissolved in 80g of water freezes at −0.465∘C. Using Kf=1.86 and Kb=0.52Kkgmol−1 (normal boiling point of water 100.00∘C), the boiling point of a solution of 5.0g of X in 100g of water is
A100.26∘C
B100.52∘C
C100.13∘C
D100.47∘C
Answer: A
From freezing: m=0.465/1.86=0.250molkg−1, moles of X =0.250×0.080=0.020, so M=2.0/0.020=100gmol−1. For the second solution m=(5.0/100)/0.100=0.50molkg−1 and ΔTb=0.52×0.50=0.26K, so the boiling point is 100.26∘C.
