1.24 g of AX2 (molar mass 124 g mol−1) is dissolved in 1 kg of water to form a solution with boiling point of 100.015°C, while 25.4 g of AY2 (molar mass 250 g mol−1) in 2 kg of water constitutes a solution with a boiling point of 100.0260°C.
Kb(H2O) = 0.52 kg mol−1
Which of the following is correct?
Solution
<p>Mass of $A x_2=1.24 \mathrm{~g}$ (solute)</p>
<p>Molarmass of $A X_2=124 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$</p>
<p>Mass of water $=1 \mathrm{~kg}$ (solvent.)</p>
<p>Boiling point of water $=100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$</p>
<p>Boiling point of water after adding solute $A X_2=100.0156^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$</p>
<p>Mass of $A Y_2=25.4 \mathrm{~g}$ (solute)</p>
<p>Molarmass of $A Y_2=250 \mathrm{~g~mol}^{-1}$</p>
<p>Mass of water $=2 \mathrm{~kg}$ (Solvent)</p>
<p>Boiling point of water $\mp 100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$</p>
<p>Boiling point of water after adding solute $A y_2=100.0260^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$</p> <p>$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)=0.52 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}{ }^{-1}=0.520^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$</p>
<p>The ionisation of $A x_2$ and $A Y_2$ can be determined by calculating Van't Hoff factor.</p>
<p>The phenomenon given in the question is elevation in boiling point. The boiling point of solvent increases when another compound (solute) is added to it.</p>
<p>Relation: $\Delta T_b=K_b \cdot i \cdot m$</p>
<p>$\Delta T_b=T_b-T_b^0$</p>
<p>$\Delta T_b \rightarrow$ Boiling point elevation</p>
<p>$T_b \rightarrow$ Boiling point of solution (solvent + solute)</p>
<p>$T_b^0 \rightarrow$ Boiling point of solvent</p>
<p>$K_b \rightarrow$ Molal elevation constant</p>
<p>$i \rightarrow$ Van't Hoff factor</p>
<p>$$m \rightarrow \text { Molality }=\frac{\text { Number of moles }}{\mathrm{kg} \text { of solvent }}, \text { Moles }=\frac{\text { Mass }}{\text { Molarmass }}$$</p>
<p>For $A X_2$ and $A Y_2$ (solute), Van't Hoff factor represents how many particles a solute dissociates into when dissolved in a solvent (water).</p>
<p>For non-electrolytes, $i=1$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
&\begin{aligned}
& A X_2: \\
& \text { Moles }=\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { molarmass }}=\frac{1.249}{124 \mathrm{~g~mol^{-1}}}=0.01 \mathrm{~mol} \\

& =\frac{0.0156^\circ \mathrm{C}}{0.52 \times 0.01{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}=3
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>$i=3$ means, there are 3 particles in solution after $A X_2$ dissolved in water.</p>
<p>$A x_2 \rightarrow 1 A^{+}+2 X^{-} \quad(1+2=3)$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
&A x_2 \text { is completely ionised. }\\
&A Y_2:
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
&\begin{aligned}
\text { Moles } & =\frac{\text { Mass }}{\text { Molarmass }}=\frac{25.4 \mathrm{~g}}{250 \mathrm{g~mol}}=0.1016 \mathrm{~mol} \\
\text { Molality } & =\frac{\text { Moles }}{\mathrm{kgof}^{-1} \text { solvent }}=\frac{0.1016 \mathrm{~mol}}{2 \mathrm{~kg}}=0.050 .8 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1} \\
\Delta T_b & =k_b \times \mathrm{l}^2 \times \mathrm{m} \\
i & =\frac{\Delta T_b}{k_b \times m} \\
& =\frac{T_b-T_b^0}{k_b \times m}
\end{aligned}\\
&\text { Substitute values as, }
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>$$i = {{(100.0260^\circ C - 100^\circ C)} \over {0.52^\circ C\,kg\,mo{l^{ - 1}} \times 0.0508\,mol\,k{g^{ - 1}}}}$$</p>
<p>$=\frac{0.0260 ^\circ \mathrm{C}}{0.52 \times 0.0508 ^\circ \mathrm{C}}$</p>
<p>$= 0.98$</p>
<p>$\approx 1$</p>
<p>$i=1$ means $A Y_2$ is completely unionised.</p>
<p>$A y_2$ not give ionised particles when dissolved in water.</p>
<p>So, $A X_2$ is completely ionised and $A Y_2$ is completely unionised.</p>
<p>Answer: Option 4) $A x_2$ is fully ionised, $A Y_2$ is completely unionised.</p>
