Chapter 11, Problem 11.76QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The boiling point of an aqueous solution that has $2.50\text{m}$ of ethylene glycol $\left({\text{OHCH}}_2{\text{CH}}_2\text{OH}\right)$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The addition of a substance (solute) in a solvent is known as dissolution. After the process of dissolution the boiling point of solvent increases and the freezing point decreases. The boiling point of the given solution is calculated by the elevation of boiling point for the given amount of solvent. Molality of the solution is an expression of concentration and it is defined as number of moles of solute per kilogram of the solvent.

To determine: The boiling point of an aqueous solution that has $2.50\text{m}$ of ethylene glycol $\left({\text{OHCH}}_2{\text{CH}}_2\text{OH}\right)$.
