Question
Derive the relation between molar mass of the solute and boiling point elevation.
✓
Answer
The boiling point elevation, $\Delta T_b$ of a solution is directly proportional to molality (m) of the solution. $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \Delta T_b \propto m \\ & \Delta T_b=K_b m \end{aligned}$ where $K _b$ is a proportionality constant If $m=1$ molal, then $\Delta T_b=K_b$ where $K_b$ is called molal elevation constant. The molality of the solution is given by, Number of moles of the solute, $m=\frac{\text { Number of moles of the solute }}{\text { Weight of the solvent in } kg }$ Let $W _1=$ Weight (in gram) of a solvent, $W _2=$ Weight (in gram) of a solute $M _2=$ Molecular weight of the solute Then the molality ( $m$ ) of the solution is given by If the weights and molecular weight are expressed in $kg$, then, $\Delta T_{ b }=K_{ b } \times \frac{W_2}{W_1 M_2}\
