An aqueous solution of 2 percent no volatile solute exerts a pressure of 1.004 bar at the boiling point of the solvent. What is the molecular mass of the solute ?
(b) Let mass of the solution = 100g
Mass of the solute = 2g
Mass of the solvent = 100g-2g= 98g
So, amount of solvent,
Amount of solute,
Then, Mole fraction of the solute,
(assuming solution to be dilute)
From Raoult's law,
Therefore,
or M=
