Correct answer: 78

  1. We check which salt does not evolve coloured vapours on heating with concentrated H2SO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4}H2​SO4​.

  2. Consider each salt:

    (i) NaBr\mathrm{NaBr}NaBr

    With conc. H2SO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4}H2​SO4​, bromide first gives HBr\mathrm{HBr}HBr, which is then oxidized to bromine: 2HBr+H2SO4→Br2+SO2+2H2O2\mathrm{HBr} + \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \rightarrow \mathrm{Br_2} + \mathrm{SO_2} + 2\mathrm{H_2O}2HBr+H2​SO4​→Br2​+SO2​+2H2​O Bromine vapours are reddish brown (coloured).

    (ii) KI\mathrm{KI}KI

    Iodide gives HI\mathrm{HI}HI, which is oxidized to iodine: 2HI+H2SO4→I2+SO2+2H2O2\mathrm{HI} + \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \rightarrow \mathrm{I_2} + \mathrm{SO_2} + 2\mathrm{H_2O}2HI+H2​SO4​→I2​+SO2​+2H2​O (Further reduction products may also form.) Iodine vapours are violet (coloured).

    (iii) NaNO3\mathrm{NaNO_3}NaNO3​

    On heating with conc. H2SO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4}H2​SO4​: NaNO3+H2SO4→NaHSO4+HNO3\mathrm{NaNO_3} + \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \rightarrow \mathrm{NaHSO_4} + \mathrm{HNO_3}NaNO3​+H2​SO4​→NaHSO4​+HNO3​ Nitric acid fumes are not the typical coloured vapours asked here.

    (iv) CaF2\mathrm{CaF_2}CaF2​

    On heating with conc. H2SO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4}H2​SO4​: CaF2+H2SO4→CaSO4+2HF\mathrm{CaF_2} + \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \rightarrow \mathrm{CaSO_4} + 2\mathrm{HF}CaF2​+H2​SO4​→CaSO4​+2HF HF\mathrm{HF}HF vapours are colorless.

  3. Among the given salts, the one classically identified as not evolving coloured vapours with conc. H2SO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4}H2​SO4​ is CaF2\mathrm{CaF_2}CaF2​.

  4. Calculate its molar mass: M(CaF2)=40+2(19)=40+38=78 g mol−1M(\mathrm{CaF_2}) = 40 + 2(19) = 40 + 38 = 78\ \mathrm{g\ mol^{-1}}M(CaF2​)=40+2(19)=40+38=78 g mol−1

  5. Therefore, the required molar mass is: 78\boxed{78}78​
