(a) Explain why on addition of 1 mol glucose to 1 litre water the boiling point of water increases.
(b) Henry’s law constant for CO2 in water is at 298 K. Calculate the number of moles of CO2 in 500 ml of soda water when packed under
at the same temperature.
(a) On addition of 1 mol glucose to 1 litre water, the boiling point of water increases because the addition of glucose decreases the vapour pressure of solution form, hence solution has to be heated to a temperature greater than the boiling point of pure solvent so as to make its vapour pressure equal to atmospheric pressure.
(b)
Quantity of CO2 in 500 ml soda water
