A solution is prepared by dissolving 5 g of non-volatile solute in 95 g of water. It has a vapour pressure of 23.375 mm Hg at 25°C. Calculate the molar mass of the solute. (Vapour pressure of pure water at 25°C is 23.75 mm Hg)
Given, Mass of solute, w2 = 5g
Mass of solvent, w1 = 95g
Molar mass of solvent, M1 = 18 g/mol
Molar mass of solute, M2 = ?
Vapour pressure of pure water, P° = 23.75 mm Hg
Vapour pressure of solution, P = 23.375 mm Hg
We know,
=
= 
M2 = 
= 60 g/mol
