- #10Boiling
point of water at 750 mm Hg is 99.63°C. How much sucrose is to be
added to 500 g of water such that it boils at 100°C.
Molal elevation constant for water is 0.52 K kg mol-1.Ans : Here,
elevation of boiling point ΔTb = (100 + 273) - (99.63 + 273)
=
0.37 K
Mass
of water, wl = 500 g
Molar
mass of sucrose (C12H22O11), M2 = 11 × 12 + 22 × 1 + 11 × 16
=
342 g mol-1
Molal
elevation constant, Kb = 0.52 K kg mol-1
We
know that:


=
121.67 g (approximately)
Hence,
121.67 g of sucrose is to be added.
Note: There is a slight variation in this answer and the one given in the
NCERT textbook.
