Options:
  • A $2 \mathrm{g}$
  • B $0.5 \mathrm{g}$
  • C $1 \mathrm{g}$
  • D $0.75 \mathrm{g}$

The correct answer is: $1 \mathrm{g}$
Elevation of boiling point,
$$
\Delta T_{b}=\frac{w \times K_{b} \times 1000}{M \times W}
$$
(Here, w and $W=$ weights of solute and solvent respectively.
$M=$ molecular weight of solute and $K_{b}=$ constant
On substituting values, we get
of
$$
\begin{aligned}
0.05 &=\frac{W \times 0.5 \times 1000}{100 \times 100} \\
w &=\frac{0.05 \times 100 \times 100}{0.5 \times 1000}=1 \mathrm{g}
\end{aligned}
$$
