2 g of a non-volatile non-electrolyte solute is dissolved in 200 g of two different solvents A and B whose ebullioscopic constants are in the ratio of . The elevation in boiling points of A and B are in the ratio . The value of is ______ (Nearest integer)
Answer: 8
Solution
The elevation in boiling point is given by , where m is molality. Since the same amount of solute (2 g) is dissolved in the same amount of solvent (200 g) for both A and B, the molality is the same. Therefore, . Thus, x = 1 and y = 8.
