Chapter 12, Problem 12.68QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The boiling-point elevation constant of cyclohexane has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Boiling-point elevation:  The effect of the solute concentration on the boiling point is given by the equation,

  ${\text{ΔT}}_{\text{b}}{\text{=mk}}_{\text{b}}$

Here,

  ${\text{ΔT}}_{\text{b}}\text{=}$ Increase in the boiling point (difference in boiling point of solution and boiling point of the solvent).

  $\text{m=}$ Molal concentration of the solute

  ${\text{k}}_{\text{b}}\text{=}$ Boiling point elevation constant (depends on the solvent used).
