A 0.2% aqueous solution of a non-volatile solufe exerts a vapour pressure of

1.004 bar at 100C. What is the molar mass of the solute?

Vapour pressure of the solution at normal boiling point (p1) = 1.004 bar

Vapour pressure of pure water at normal boiling point

Mass of solute, (w2) = 2 g

Mass of solvent (water), (w1) = 98 g

Molar mass of solvent (water), (M1) = 18 g mol−1

According to Raoult’s law,

= 41.35 g mol−1

Hence, the molar mass of the solute is 41.35 g mol−1.
