In the determination of molar mass of an unknown substance by ebullioscopic constant, 30 mL of acetone (C3H6O) was placed in a test tube with thermometer and glass tubing and subjected to water bath. Upon boiling, the temperature reads 56 degC. For the boiling point of unknown-acetone solution, you prepared the solution by mixing 1.60 g of unknown solute in the 30 mL acetone and subjected it again to water bath. The boiling temperature of the solution is 56.68 degC. The density of acetone = 0.9849 g/mL and the Kb of acetone = 1.67 degC/kg Questions: 1. What is the molal concentration of the solution? 2. What is the value for delta Tb or the change in boiling temperature (in degrees Celsius)? 3. How many moles of solute are present in the solution?
