If 5.0 grams of sucrose, C12H22O11, are dissolved in 10.0 grams of water, what will be the boiling point of the resulting solution?

Respuesta :

Answer : The boiling point of the resulting solution is, [tex]100.6^oC[/tex]

Explanation :

Formula used for Elevation in boiling point :

[tex]\Delta T_b=i\times k_b\times m[/tex]

or,

[tex]T_b-T^o_b=i\times k_b\times \frac{w_2\times 1000}{M_2\times w_1}[/tex]

where,

[tex]T_b[/tex] = boiling point of solution = ?

[tex]T^o_b[/tex] = boiling point of water = [tex]100^oC[/tex]

[tex]k_b[/tex] = boiling point constant  = [tex]0.52^oC/m[/tex]

m = molality

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

[tex]w_2[/tex] = mass of solute (sucrose) = 5.0 g

[tex]w_1[/tex] = mass of solvent (water) = 10.0 g

[tex]M_2[/tex] = molar mass of solute (sucrose) = 342.3 g/mol

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

[tex](T_b-100)^oC=1\times (0.52^oC/m)\times \frac{(5.0g)\times 1000}{342.3\times (10.0g)}[/tex]

[tex]T_b=100.6^oC[/tex]

Therefore, the boiling point of the resulting solution is, [tex]100.6^oC[/tex]
