Dear Student ,
We know that relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by the formula
P0A− PAP0A = Xsolute
P0A of pure water = 760 mm Hg
PA of the solution = 732 mm Hg
This implies Xsolute = 760−732760 = 0.037
Now as we have got the mole fraction of the solute , we can find the no. of moles of solute present
0.037 = nsolutensolute + 10018
This gives , nsolute = 0.213
Hence we have 0.213 moles of the solute present . Now we know the formula for elevation in boiling point.
ΔTb = kb * m = 0.52 * 0.2131001000 = 1.1076
Hence ΔTb = 1.1076
Therefore the boiling point will be = (100 + 1.1076) = 101.1076o C
Hence the boiling point of the solution will be 101.1076o C.
