Question

AB2 is 10% dissociated in water to A2+ and B-. The boiling point of a 10.0 molal aqueous solution of AB2 is ____________ °C. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

[Given: Molal elevation constant of water Kb=0.5Kkgmol-1 boiling point of pure water =100°C].

Solution

Step 1: Calculate the elevation in boiling point:

From the dissociation of AB2

AB2A2++2B-t=0a00t=ta-2

Since, AB2 is dissociated 10% hence α=0.1

n=a-++2n=a(1+2α)i=1+2α

From the formula:

Tb=iKbm=(1+2α)×0.5×10=5+10α=5+(10×0.10)=6K

Step 2: Calculate the boiling point of the solution

Let the boiling point of the solution be Tb

Boiling point of water, Tb°=100°C=373K

Tb=Tb-Tb°6=Tb-373Tb=379K=106°C

Thus, the boiling point of a 10.0 molal aqueous solution of AB2 is 106°C.
