Correct answer: 3

  1. Use colligative property formulas

For a non-electrolyte like glucose, van't Hoff factor i=1i=1i=1.

So, ΔTb=Kbm\Delta T_b = K_b mΔTb​=Kb​m ΔTf=Kfm\Delta T_f = K_f mΔTf​=Kf​m

  1. From the boiling point data

Given:

  • Molality m=1.5m = 1.5m=1.5
  • Elevation in boiling point ΔTb=4 K\Delta T_b = 4\,\text{K}ΔTb​=4K

Thus, Kb=ΔTbm=41.5K_b = \frac{\Delta T_b}{m} = \frac{4}{1.5}Kb​=mΔTb​​=1.54​

  1. From the freezing point data

Given:

  • Molality m=4.5m = 4.5m=4.5
  • Depression in freezing point ΔTf=4 K\Delta T_f = 4\,\text{K}ΔTf​=4K

Thus, Kf=ΔTfm=44.5K_f = \frac{\Delta T_f}{m} = \frac{4}{4.5}Kf​=mΔTf​​=4.54​

  1. Find the ratio

KbKf=41.544.5\frac{K_b}{K_f} = \frac{\frac{4}{1.5}}{\frac{4}{4.5}}Kf​Kb​​=4.54​1.54​​

Cancel 444: KbKf=4.51.5=3\frac{K_b}{K_f} = \frac{4.5}{1.5} = 3Kf​Kb​​=1.54.5​=3

  1. Final answer

3\boxed{3}3​

The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
