Options:
  • A $0 \cdot 25 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}$
  • B $0 \cdot 6 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}$
  • C $0 \cdot 45 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}$
  • D $0 \cdot 35 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}$

The correct answer is: $0 \cdot 35 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}$
(D)
$\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}=(100.18+273)-(100+273)=0.18 \mathrm{~K}$
$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}}=0.512 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}, \mathrm{~m}=?$
$\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}} \times \mathrm{m} \quad \therefore \mathrm{m}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{b}}}{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}}}$
$\therefore \mathrm{m}=\frac{0.18 \mathrm{~K}}{0.512 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}=0.35 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}$
