AIIMS 2001 Chemistry Colligative Properties MCQ Question
Vapour pressure of benzene at 30°C is 121.8 mm. When 15 g of a non-volatile solute is dissolved in 250 g of benzene, its vapour pressure is decreased to 120.2 mm. The molecular weight of the solute is
35.67 g
356.7 g
432.8 g
502.7 g
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using Raoult's law, the decrease in vapour pressure can be used to calculate the molar mass of the solute.
