The boiling point of a solution with respect to the corresponding solvent is to be determined. The measured boiling point for the solvent, with its absolute error, is 177±2°C; and that of the solution, 183±4°C. Regarding this measurement, which of the following statements is correct?(A). A significant value for the boiling point increase cannot be given for this experiment(B). The boiling point increase is 6±4°C(C). The relative error in the measurement of the boiling point of the solution is twice the relative error in the measurement of the boiling point of the pure solvent(D). The relative error in the boiling point increase is, in round numbers, 2%
