    The mass of non-volatile, non-elctrolyte solute (molar mass\[50gmo{{l}^{-1}}\]) needed to be dissolved in114g octane to reduce its vapour pressure to 75%, is ___________. [JEE Main 16-4-2018]

    A)  150g              

    B)  75g

    C)  37.5g             

    D)  50g

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Octane has molar mass of 114 g/mol. \[\frac{\Delta P}{P}=\frac{\frac{{{W}_{2}}}{{{M}_{2}}}}{\frac{{{W}_{2}}}{{{M}_{2}}}+\frac{{{W}_{1}}}{{{M}_{1}}}}\] \[\frac{75}{100}=\frac{\frac{{{W}_{2}}}{50g/mol}}{\frac{{{W}_{2}}}{50g/mol}+\frac{114g}{114g/mol}}\] \[0.75=\frac{\frac{{{W}_{2}}}{50}}{\frac{{{W}_{2}}}{50}+1}\] \[\frac{{{W}_{2}}}{50}+1=\frac{{{W}_{2}}}{50\times 0.75}\] \[{{W}_{2}}=150\,g\] \[{{W}_{2}}=150\,g\] Note: \[{{W}_{2}}\]and \[{{M}_{2}}\] are mass and molar mass of solute\[{{W}_{1}}\]and\[{{M}_{1}}\]and are mass and molar mass of octane.
