If 8 g of a non-electrolyte solute is dissolved in 114 g of n-octane to reduce its vapour pressure to 80%, the molar mass (in g mol–1) of the solute is [Given that molar mass of n-octane is 114 g mol–1]
(1) 20
(2) 40
(3) 60
(4) 80

Ans: (2) 40
Sol. Assuming dilute solution
${\Delta P\over P_A^0}={n_B\over n_A}={w_B\over m_B}.{m_A\over w_A}$
${20\over100}={8\over m_B}.{114\over114}$
$m_B={8\times100\over20}=40\ \text{gmol}^{-1}$
