Correct answer: 100

  1. Use elevation in boiling point formula

For a non-volatile solute, ΔTb=Kbm\Delta T_b = K_b mΔTb​=Kb​m where mmm is the molality.

  1. Find the elevation in boiling point

Given:

  • Boiling point of pure water =373 K= 373\,\text{K}=373K
  • Boiling point of solution =373.52 K= 373.52\,\text{K}=373.52K

So, ΔTb=373.52−373=0.52 K\Delta T_b = 373.52 - 373 = 0.52\,\text{K}ΔTb​=373.52−373=0.52K

  1. Calculate molality

m=ΔTbKb=0.520.52=1 mol kg−1m = \frac{\Delta T_b}{K_b} = \frac{0.52}{0.52} = 1\,\text{mol kg}^{-1}m=Kb​ΔTb​​=0.520.52​=1mol kg−1

  1. Use definition of molality

Molality is: m=moles of solutemass of solvent in kgm = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}m=mass of solvent in kgmoles of solute​

Mass of water =20 g=0.020 kg= 20\,\text{g} = 0.020\,\text{kg}=20g=0.020kg

Thus, 1=n0.0201 = \frac{n}{0.020}1=0.020n​ n=0.020 moln = 0.020\,\text{mol}n=0.020mol

  1. Find molar mass of solute

Given mass of solute =2 g= 2\,\text{g}=2g

M=massmoles=20.020=100 g mol−1M = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{moles}} = \frac{2}{0.020} = 100\,\text{g mol}^{-1}M=molesmass​=0.0202​=100g mol−1

  1. Final answer

The molecular mass of the solute is 100 g mol−1\boxed{100\,\text{g mol}^{-1}}100g mol−1​

Nearest integer = 100100100.
