Chemistry Question from JEE Main 2026 · 24 January, Shift 1

WW g of a non-volatile electrolyte solid solute of molar mass Mg mol1M \, \text{g mol}^{-1} when dissolved in 100mL100 \, \text{mL} water decreases vapour pressure of water from 640mm Hg640 \, \text{mm Hg} to 600mm Hg600 \, \text{mm Hg}. If aqueous solution of the electrolyte boils at 375K375 \, \text{K} and KbK_b for water is 0.52K kg mol10.52 \, \text{K kg mol}^{-1}, then the mole fraction of the electrolyte (x2)(x_2) in the solution can be expressed as

(Given: density of water =1g mL1= 1 \, \text{g mL}^{-1}, boiling point of water =373K= 373 \, \text{K})
