The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Elevation of boiling point,
$\Delta T_{b}=\frac{w \times K_{b} \times 1000}{M \times W}$
(Here, $w$ and $W=$ weights of solute and solvent respectively,
$M=$ molecular weight of solute and
$K_{b}=$ constant $)$
On substituting values, we get
$0.05=\frac{w \times 0.5 \times 1000}{100 \times 100}$
or $w=\frac{0.05 \times 100 \times 100}{0.5 \times 1000}=1\, g$

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
