Calculate the relative lowering of vapour pressure of a 10% aqeous caustic soda solution.

Assertion: Elevation in boiling point is inversely proportional to lowering of vapour pressure for dilute solutions. Reason: Lowering of vapour pressure is directly proportional to mole fraction of solvent.

What is relative lowering of vapour pressure ? How is it useful to determine the molar mass of a solute ?

When some amount of non-volatile solute is dissolved in a solvent to prepare a dilute solution, the vapour pressure of the solvent is lowered and it is directly proportional to the mole fraction of solvent in the solution . Relative lowering in vapour pressure is equal to mole fraction of solute . Elevation in boiling point of solvent is a collgative property like lowering in vaour pressure of solvent in solution , K_(b) i.e., molal elevation constant is calculated by the formula, K_(b)=DeltaT_(b)// molality and also by the expression, K_(b)=RT_(b)^(2)//1000l_(v) where T_(b) is boiling point of solvent and I_(v) is latent heat of vapourisation for 1 gm solvent .
