Detailed Solution

The volume of water in moles 100 g=10018=5.555
Let n represent the solute's molecular weight.
The mole fraction of solute equals the relative decrease in vapour pressure.
P0-PP0=X

760-732760=nn+5.555

0.0368=nn+5.555

27.144 = n+5.555

n=5.55526.14=0.212

The number of moles of solute in 1 kg of water is the molality of the solution.

100 g of water equals 0.1 kg.

m=0.2120.1=2.12

The elevation in the boiling point is

ΔTb=kbm=0.52×2.12=1.1°C

The boiling point of the solution is

Tb=100+1.1=101.1°C101°C

Hence, the correct answer is 1010C.
