Properties such as boiling point, freezing point and vapour, pressure of a pure solvent change Propeties such as boiling point, freezing point and vapour, pressure of a pure solvent change when solute molecules are added to get homogeneous solution. These are called colligative properties. Applications of colligative properties are very useful in day-to-day life. One of its examples is the use of ethylene glycol and water mixture as anti-freezing liquid in the radiator of automobiles.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the new boiling point of the solution after adding water such that the mole fraction of water becomes 0.9. We will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the mole fraction of ethanol Given that the mole fraction of water is 0.9, we can find the mole fraction of ethanol (the solute) using the relation: \[ \text{Mole fraction of ethanol} = 1 - \text{Mole fraction of water} = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the molality of the solution Molality (m) can be calculated using the following formula: \[ m = \frac{\text{Mole fraction of solute} \times 1000}{\text{Mole fraction of solvent} \times \text{Molecular weight of solvent}} \] Here, the mole fraction of the solute (ethanol) is 0.1, the mole fraction of the solvent (water) is 0.9, and the molecular weight of water is 18 g/mol. Plugging in these values: \[ m = \frac{0.1 \times 1000}{0.9 \times 18} = \frac{100}{16.2} \approx 6.17 \text{ mol/kg} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the boiling point elevation The boiling point elevation (ΔT_b) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta T_b = K_b \times m \] Where \(K_b\) for water is given as 0.52 kg/mol. Therefore: \[ \Delta T_b = 0.52 \times 6.17 \approx 3.20 \text{ K} \] ### Step 4: Determine the new boiling point The standard boiling point of water is 373 K. To find the new boiling point of the solution, we add the boiling point elevation to the standard boiling point: \[ T_b(\text{new}) = T_b(\text{initial}) + \Delta T_b = 373 + 3.20 = 376.20 \text{ K} \] ### Final Answer The new boiling point of the solution is **376.20 K**. ---
