Step-by-step explanation

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 17th March Evening Shift Chemistry - Solutions Question 99 English Explanation

Effective molality = 0.6 + 1.6 + 0.4 = 2.6 m

As elevation in boiling point is a colligative property which depends on the amount of solute. So, to have same boiling point, the molality of two solutions should be same.

Molality of non-electrolyte solution = molality of = 2.6 m

Now, 18.1 weight per cent solution means 18.1 g solute is present in 100 g solution and hence, (100 18.1) = 81.9 g water.

Now,

where, M is the molar mass of non-electrolyte solute

Molar mass of solute, M = 85
