Answer:
Molal concentration of glucose = 2.64 m
Explanation:
The excersise can be solved by the formula for colligative property, elevation of boiling point.
ΔT = Kb . m . i
As glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is an organic compound, i = 1. (No ions generated)
ΔT = Boiling T° for solution – Boiling T° of pure solvent
Kb = Ebulloscopic constant.
We need data from acetic acid.
Boiling T° of pure solvent: 118.1°C
Kb = 3.22 °C/m
We replace data:
126.6°C – 118.1°C = 3.22°C/m . m . 1
(126.6°C – 118.1°C) / 3.22 m/°C = m
Molality = 2.64 mol/kg
