The molal boiling point constant for water is 0.513⁰ C Kg/mol. When 0.1 mole of sugar is dissolved in 200mg of water, the solution boils under a pressure of one atmosphere at ___
Solution
The temperature at which a liquid's vapour pressure equals the pressure of the gas above it is known as the boiling point. A substance's boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid transforms into a vapour. The boiling point of a liquid is affected by the surrounding atmospheric pressure.
Complete answer:
The basic equation for calculating a solution's boiling point is ΔT = mKb. The boiling-point elevation, meaning how much higher the boiling point of the solution is than that of the pure solvent, is referred to as ΔT . The temperature is measured in degrees Celsius. The molal boiling-point elevation constant is known as Kb. When one mole of solute is dissolved in one kg of solution, the boiling point rises. The molal boiling point elevation constant, Kb is the proportionality constant.
Now from the question,
Kb = 0.513⁰ C Kg/mol
ΔT = 100⁰ C
Given, moles of sugar = 0.1
Mass of Water = 200 ml = 0.2 l
Molality is the number of moles of solute per kg of liquid which is a characteristic of a solution.
Using the formula Molality = mol/kg
Molality, m=0.20.1
m = 0.5
Now, substituting all the values,
ΔT = mKb
ΔT = Tb−Tb0
Tb−Tb0=mKb
Tb - 100 = 0.5 x 0.513
Tb= 100 + 0.256
Tb= 100.256⁰ C
