    Vapour pressure of benzene at \[30{}^\circ C\] is 121.8 mm. When 15 g of a non-volatile solute is dissolved in 250 g of benzene its vapour pressure decreased to 120.2mm. The molecular weight of the solute (Mo. wt. of solvent = 78)

    A) 356.2

    B)                    456.8

    C) 530.1

    D)                    656.7

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Given vapour pressure of pure solute \[({{P}^{0}})=121.8\,\,MM;\] Weight of solute\[(w)=15\,\,g\] Weight of solvent \[(W)=250\,g;\] Vapour pressure of pure solvent \[(P)=120.2\,\,mm\] and Molecular weight of solvent \[(M)=78\] From Raoult's law \[=\frac{{{P}^{o}}-P}{{{P}^{O}}}=\frac{w}{m}\times \frac{M}{W}=\frac{121.8-120.2}{121.8}=\frac{15}{m}\times \frac{78}{250}\] or \[m=\frac{15\times 78}{250}\times \frac{121.8}{1.6}=356.2\]
