Question

' W ' g of a non-volatile electrolyte solid solute of molar mass ${ }^{\prime} \mathrm{M}^{\prime} \mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ when dissolved in 100 mL water, decreases vapour pressure of water from 640 mm Hg to 600 mm Hg . If aqueous solution of the electrolyte boils at 375 K and $\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}}$ for water is $0.52 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$, then the mole fraction of the electrolyte solute ( $\mathrm{x}_2$ ) in the solution can be expressed as
(Given : density of water $=1 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}$ and boiling point of water $=373 \mathrm{~K}$ )
