Answer:
0.33 mol/kg NH₃
Explanation:
Data:
b(NH₃) = 0.33 mol/kg
b(Na₂SO₄) = 0.10 mol/ kg
Calculations:
The formula for the boiling point elevation ΔTb is
i is the van’t Hoff factor — the number of moles of particles you get from a solute.
(a) For NH₃,
The ammonia is a weak electrolyte, so it exists almost entirely as molecules in solution.
1 mol NH₃ ⟶ 1 mol particles
i ≈ 1, and ib = 1 × 0.33 = 0.33 mol particles per kilogram of water
(b) For Na₂SO₄,
Na₂SO₄(aq) ⟶ 2Na⁺(aq) + 2SO₄²⁻(aq)
1 mol Na₂SO₄ ⟶ 3 mol particles
i = 1 and ib = 3 × 0.10 = 0.30 mol particles per kilogram of water
The NH₃ has more moles of particles, so it has the higher boiling point.
