The molal boiling point elevation constant Kb = 1.97 C .Kg. Mol-1 for a certain substance X. When 31.98 g of urea are dissolved in 650.G of X. The solution boils at 137.0 C. Calculate the boiling point of pure X

Boiling point of pure liquid is 135.4°C

Explanation:

The boiling point elevation (Colligative property of solutions) follows the formula:

ΔT = Kb×m×i

ΔT is equal to increase in boiling point (Boililng point solution - boiling point pure liquid), Kb is boiling point elevation constant of the liquid, m is molality of solution and i is Van't Hoff factor.

Molality of solution (Moles urea / Kg X):

Moles urea: 31.98g * (1mol / 60.06g) = 0.53247 moles

-60.06g/mol = Molar mass urea-

In 650g = 0.650kg:

0.53247 moles urea / 0.650kg = 0.8192m

Van't Hoff factor of urea is 1

Replacing in the equation:

ΔT = Kb×m×i

ΔT = 1.97°CKgMol⁻¹×0.8192m×1

ΔT = 1.6

As the solution boils at 137°C:

ΔT = Boililng point solution - boiling point pure liquid

ΔT = 1.6°C = 137.0°C - boiling point pure liquid

Boiling point of pure liquid is 135.4°C

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.
