Kolbe's reaction

Answer»

Kolbe reaction, also known as Kolbe Schmitt Reaction is a type of addition reaction named after Hermann Kolbe and Rudolf Schmitt. When phenol is treated with sodium hydroxide, phenoxide ion is generated. The phenoxide ion generated is more reactive than phenol towards electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Hence, it undergoes electrophilic substitution reaction with carbon dioxide, which is a weak electrophile. Ortho-hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid) is formed as the primary product. This reaction is popularly known as Kolbe’s reaction.

A solution containing 6 g of a solute is dissolved in 25mL of water gave an osmotic pressure of 4.5 atm at 27°C. Calculate the boiling point of the solution. Kb = 0.52Kkg/mol.

Answer»

Let say molar mass of solute is M g/mol.

Then

\(\pi = \frac{\frac6M}{25} \times 1000\times R\times T\)

\(\pi = 4.5 = \frac6{M\times25} \times 1000\times0.082 \times300\)

\(M = \frac6{4.5} \times 40 \times 0.082 \times 300\)

\(m = 1312 g/ mol\)

∴ Molality of solution \(= \frac{\frac6{1312}}{25} \times 1000 = 0.183 m\)

∴ \(\triangle T_b = K_bm\)

\(T - 100 = 0.52 \times 0.183\)

\(T = 100.095° C\)

Hence, boiling point of solution becomes 100.095°C.

Elevation of boiling point is inversely proportional to :(A) molal elevation constant (Kb)(B) molality (m)(C) molar mass of solute (M)(D) weight of solute (W)

Answer»

Option : (C) molar mass of solute (M)

ΔTb = kbm

or, ΔTb = kb\(\frac{W_1}{M\times W_2}\),

Where Kb = molal elevation constant, m = molality

or, ΔTb = kb\(\frac{W_1}{M\times W_2}\),

Where W1 = mass of solute,W2 = mass of solvent, M = molar mass of solute.

∴ ΔTb ∝ \(\frac{1}{M}\)

Therefore,

Elevation of boiling point is inversely proportional to molar of solute (M).
