Suppose 3.005 g of a nonvolatile solute is added to 20.02 g of water (the solvent), and the boiling point increases from 100.000 OC to 101.286 OC. Determine the TB, molality, moles, and molecular weight for the solute if kb for water is 0.512 OC/m. Report each value using the correct number of significant digits. Refer to Example 1.2 and pages 3-4 in the chapter 1 notes for general chemistry 1 to understand significant figures. Also, include all applicable units and conversion factors.

Explanation:

Hello,

In case, for the boiling point raise we can write:

Whereas T2 accounts for the boiling point of the solution which is 101.286 °C, T1 the volume of pure water which is 100.000 °C, i the van't Hoff factor that for this problem is 1 due to the solute's non-volatility, m the molality of the solute and Kb the boiling point constant that is 0.512 °C/m. In such a way, the change in the temperature is:

The molality is computed from the boiling point raise:

The moles are computed by multiplying the molality by the kilograms of water as the solvent (0.02002g):

And the molecular mass by dividing the mass of the solute by its moles:

Best regards.

i believe the answer is a.
