Correct answer: D

  1. Use Raoult’s law for a non-volatile solute

Since glucose is a non-volatile solute, only water contributes to vapour pressure.

Psolution=Xwater Pwater∘P_{\text{solution}} = X_{\text{water}}\, P^\circ_{\text{water}}Psolution​=Xwater​Pwater∘​

At 100∘C100^\circ\text{C}100∘C, pure water has vapour pressure:

Pwater∘=760 TorrP^\circ_{\text{water}} = 760\ \text{Torr}Pwater∘​=760 Torr

  1. Calculate moles of glucose

Molar mass of glucose, C6H12O6C_6H_{12}O_6C6​H12​O6​:

6×12+12×1+6×16=72+12+96=180 g mol−16\times 12 + 12\times 1 + 6\times 16 = 72 + 12 + 96 = 180\ \text{g mol}^{-1}6×12+12×1+6×16=72+12+96=180 g mol−1

So,

nglucose=18180=0.1 moln_{\text{glucose}} = \frac{18}{180} = 0.1\ \text{mol}nglucose​=18018​=0.1 mol

  1. Calculate moles of water

Molar mass of water = 18 g mol−118\ \text{g mol}^{-1}18 g mol−1

nwater=178.218=9.9 moln_{\text{water}} = \frac{178.2}{18} = 9.9\ \text{mol}nwater​=18178.2​=9.9 mol

  1. Calculate mole fraction of water

Xwater=nwaternwater+nglucose=9.99.9+0.1=9.910.0=0.99X_{\text{water}} = \frac{n_{\text{water}}}{n_{\text{water}} + n_{\text{glucose}}} = \frac{9.9}{9.9+0.1} = \frac{9.9}{10.0} = 0.99Xwater​=nwater​+nglucose​nwater​​=9.9+0.19.9​=10.09.9​=0.99

  1. Calculate vapour pressure of solution

Psolution=0.99×760=752.4 TorrP_{\text{solution}} = 0.99 \times 760 = 752.4\ \text{Torr}Psolution​=0.99×760=752.4 Torr

  1. Match with the options

752.4 Torr752.4\ \text{Torr}752.4 Torr

So the correct option is:

D: 752.40 Torr

  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer: D

Our derived answer: D

They match.
