Question:

2 moles each of ethylene glycol and glucose are dissolved in 500 g of water. The boiling point of the resulting solution is: (Given: Ebullioscopic constant of water = $ 0.52 \, \text{K kg mol}^{-1} $)

Show Hint

Use the formula for boiling point elevation. Remember to account for the van't Hoff factor (i) for each solute and the total molality of the solution.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\Delta T_b = i_1 m_1 k_b + i_2 m_2 k_b$

$\Delta T_b = 1 \times \frac{2}{0.5} \times 0.52 + 1 \times \frac{2}{0.5} \times 0.52 = 4.16$

$(T_b)_{\text{solution}} = 373.16 + 4.16 = 377.3 \text{ K}$
