Calculate the boiling point of solution when 2g of was dissolved in 50g of water, assuming undergoes complete ionization.

Given: Wsolute (W2) = 2g


Msolute (M2)= 142 g/mol


Wsolvent (W1) = 50g


Kb for water = 0.52 K kg /mol


Dissociation of Na2SO4:


Na2SO4 2Na+ + SO42-


i(no. of particles after dissociation) =3


First, we apply the formula:


ΔTb = i×Kb× m





ΔTb = 0.439 K


To calculate boiling point of the solution, we apply the formula given below:


Tb = Tb° + ΔTb


Tb = 100 K + 0.439 K


Tb = 100.496K


Thus, the boiling point of the solution is 100.496 K
