A solute’S’ undergoes a reversible trimerization when dissolved in a certain solvent. The boiling point elevation of its 0.1 molal solution was found to be identical to the boiling point elevation in case of a 0.08 molal solution of a solute which neither undergoes association nor dissociation. To what percent had the solute ‘S’ undergone trimerization?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
3S 
S 3
1 0
1– α 
⇒ i = 1 – 
Now 0.1 
= 0.08
⇒ α = 0.3. Hence 30% trimerization.
