The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of matching the boiling points of the three solvents with their respective \( K_b \) values, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationship**: The boiling point elevation (\( \Delta T_b \)) is given by the formula: \[ \Delta T_b = K_b \cdot m \cdot i \] where \( K_b \) is the ebullioscopic constant, \( m \) is the molality, and \( i \) is the van 't Hoff factor. Since the molar masses of the solvents are identical, we can assume the molalities are the same for comparison. 2. **Identify the Variables**: We are given three solvents (X, Y, Z) with their boiling points and \( K_b \) values: - Solvent X: Boiling Point = 100°C, \( K_b = 0.92 \) - Solvent Y: Boiling Point = 27°C, \( K_b = 0.63 \) - Solvent Z: Boiling Point = 283°C, \( K_b = 0.53 \) 3. **Analyze the \( K_b \) Values**: Since \( \Delta T_b \) is directly proportional to \( K_b \) (assuming constant molality and \( i \)), a higher \( K_b \) value indicates a greater boiling point elevation. Thus, we can rank the solvents based on their \( K_b \) values: - Highest \( K_b \): 0.92 (X) - Moderate \( K_b \): 0.63 (Y) - Lowest \( K_b \): 0.53 (Z) 4. **Match \( K_b \) Values with Boiling Points**: Since higher \( K_b \) values correspond to higher boiling points, we can match them as follows: - Solvent with \( K_b = 0.92 \) (X) should have the highest boiling point, which is 283°C (Z). - Solvent with \( K_b = 0.63 \) (Y) should have a moderate boiling point, which is 100°C (X). - Solvent with \( K_b = 0.53 \) (Z) should have the lowest boiling point, which is 27°C (Y). 5. **Final Matching**: - Solvent X (100°C) matches with \( K_b = 0.63 \) - Solvent Y (27°C) matches with \( K_b = 0.53 \) - Solvent Z (283°C) matches with \( K_b = 0.92 \) ### Summary of Matches: - X: 100°C → \( K_b = 0.63 \) - Y: 27°C → \( K_b = 0.53 \) - Z: 283°C → \( K_b = 0.92 \)
