Question

Pure benzene boils at 80.1 degrees C and has a K_b of 2.53 degrees C/m. If 112.0 g of iron (lll) sulfide, Fe₂S₃, are dissolved in 850.0 g of benzene, what will the new boiling point of the solution be?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Answer:

Addition of non-volatile solute in a solvent always decreases the vapor pressure of solvent and that decrease causes the increase in the boiling point and this phenomenon is called as elevation in boiling point. Elevation in boiling point is a colligative property.
