    Boiling
    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.
