Strategy:
 For the same solvent ( constant), the elevation  is proportional to the number of particles ().

Step 1: Calculate effective particles
Solute X is a non-electrolyte ().
- .
-  is proportional to 0.02.

Step 2: Compare to glucose
Glucose is a non-electrolyte (). Molar mass = 180.
- .
- Elevation for X will be much greater.
