(1) Thermal Decomposition of Potassium Permanganate: \[ 2KMnO_4 \xrightarrow{\text{heat}} K_2MnO_4 + MnO_2 + O_2 \] (2) Dichromate-Iodide Reaction: \[ Cr_2O_7^{2-} + 6I^- + 14H^+ \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 3I_2 + 7H_2O \]
A substance 'X' (1.5 g) dissolved in 150 g of a solvent 'Y' (molar mass = 300 g mol$^{-1}$) led to an elevation of the boiling point by 0.5 K. The relative lowering in the vapour pressure of the solvent 'Y' is $____________ \(\times 10^{-2}\). (nearest integer)
[Given : $K_{b}$ of the solvent = 5.0 K kg mol$^{-1}$]
Assume the solution to be dilute and no association or dissociation of X takes place in solution.
