Question

Calculate the boiling point elevation of a 2.33 molal solution where the solvent has a molal boiling point elevation constant of 5.46 C/m.

Answer 1

∆T = imK

∆T = change in boiling point = ?

i = van't Hoff factor = 1 assuming the solute is a non electrolyte (the problem doesn't state what it is)

m = molality = 2.33 mol/kg

K = boiling point constant = 5.46 º/m

Solving for ∆T...

∆T = (1)(2.33)(5.46) = 12.7ºC
