Chapter 12, Problem 12.77QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The boiling point of the solution in degree Celsius has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

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

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

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).

  $\text{i=}$ van’t Hoff factor
