How is raoult's law used in determining the molecular weight of a non-volatile solute?

Ostwald and Walker method: The apparatus used is shown in Fig. It consists of two sets of bulbs. The first set of three bulbs is filled with solution to half of their capacity and second set of another three bulbs is filled with the pure solvent. Each set is separately weighed accurately. Both sets are connected to each other and then with the accurately weighed set of guard tubes filled with anhydrous calcium chloride or some other dehydrating agents like P2O5, conc. H2SO4 etc. The bulbs of solution and pure solvent are kept in a thermostat maintained at a constant temperature. A current of pure dry air is bubbled through. The air gets saturated with the vapours in each set of bulbs. The air takes up an amount of vapours proportional to the vapour pressure of the solution first and then it takes up more amount of vapours from the solvent which is proportional to the difference in the vapour pressure of the solvent and the vapour pressure of solution, i.e. p0 - ps. The two sets of bulbs are weighed again. The guard tubes are also weighed. Loss in mass(x) in the solution bulbs ∝ ps Loss in mass(y) in the solvent bulbs ∝ (p0 - ps) Total loss(x+y) in both sets of bulb ∝ [ps +(p0 - ps)]
