Problem 1: Boiling Point Elevation with Glucose

Given: 18 g glucose (M = 180 g/mol) dissolved in 500 g water. Find the boiling point. (Kb = 0.52 K·kg/mol)

Step 1: Find moles of solute. nglucose=18 g180 g/mol=0.1 moln_{glucose} = \frac{18 \text{ g}}{180 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.1 \text{ mol}

Step 2: Convert solvent mass to kg. w1=500 g=0.5 kgw_1 = 500 \text{ g} = 0.5 \text{ kg}

Step 3: Calculate molality. m=nsolutewsolvent(kg)=0.10.5=0.2 mol/kgm = \frac{n_{solute}}{w_{solvent}(\text{kg})} = \frac{0.1}{0.5} = 0.2 \text{ mol/kg}

Step 4: Apply ΔTb\Delta Tb formula (glucose is non-electrolyte, i = 1). ΔTb=Kb×m=0.52×0.2=0.104 K\Delta T_b = K_b \times m = 0.52 \times 0.2 = 0.104 \text{ K}

Answer: Boiling point = 100 + 0.104 = 100.104°C
