The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$\Delta Tb = Kb \cdot \,m$
where,
$\Delta Tb$ is the boiling point elevation,
$Tb$ (solution) $-$ Tb (pure solvent),
$Kb$ is the ebullioscopic constant,
$m$ is the molality of the solution
$\Delta Tb =0.75 K$
weight of solute $=1.5 g$
weight of solvent $=50 g$
molality $=$
weight of solute molar weight of solute $1000$ weight of solvent in $g =1.5 \, M \times 100050 \,g$
Now,$0.75 \, K =2.5 \, K \, kg \, mol ^{-1} \times 1.5 \, M \times 100050$
$M =2.5 \,K \,kg \,mol^ {-1} \times 1.5 \times 10000.70 \,K \times 50=100.8 \,g \, mol ^{-1}$
Molecular weight of solute is $100.8 \, g \,mol^{-1}.$

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
