the boiling point of benzene is 353. 23k when 1.80 gram non volatile solute was dissolved is 90 gram of benzene the boiling point raise to 354.11 k calculate molar mass of solute kb for benzene is 2.53 kg per mole

Dear Student

Given,

Weight of solute = 1.80g

Weight of solvent = 90 g

Kb for benzene = 2.53 kg/ mole

Suppose Molar weight of solute = w g

Boiling point elevation = 354.11 K - 353.23 K = 0.88 K

Tb =Kb * M  
and
M = 1.80 x 1000w x 90

0.88 =2.53 x 1.80 x 1000w x 90

w =2.53 x 1.80 x 10000.88 x 90

w = 455479.2 = 57.5
Hence the weight of the solute is 57.5 g
