    The boiling point of \[0.2\,\,mol\,\,k{{g}^{-1}}\] solution of X in water is greater than equimolal solution of Y in water. Which one of the following statements is true in this case?                     [NEET 2015 ]

    A) X is undergoing dissociation in water.

    B) Molecular mass of X is greater than the molecular mass of V.

    C) Molecular mass of X is less than the molecular mass of V.

    D) V is undergoing dissociation in water while X undergoes no change.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Molality of solution X = molality of solution Y
                               = 0.2mol/kg
    We know that, elevation in the boiling point \[(\Delta {{T}_{b}})\] of a solution is proportional to the molal concentration of the solution i.e.
    \[\Delta {{T}_{b}}\propto m\,\,\,or\,\Delta {{T}_{b}}={{K}_{b}}m\]
    where, m is the molality of the solution and \[{{K}_{b}}\] is molal boiling point constant or ebullioscopic constant.
    \[\therefore \] By elevation in boiling point relation
    \[\Delta {{\Tau }_{b}}=i{{K}_{b}}m\,\,\text{or}\,\Delta {{\text{T}}_{b}}\propto i\]
    where, \[i\] is van't Hoff is factor
    Since, \[\Delta {{T}_{b}}\], of solution X is greater than \[\Delta {{T}_{b}}\] of solution Y.
    (Observed colligative property is greater than normal colligative property).
    \[\therefore \] \[i\] of solution X > i of solution Y
    \[\therefore \] Solution X undergoing dissociation.
