Which of the following aqueous solution will exhibit highest boiling point?
- 0.01 M Na2SO4
- 0.015 M C6H12O6
- 0.01 M Urea
- 0.01 M KNO3
Answer
(1) 0.01 M Na2SO4
Solution
Tb i m (effective particle concentration):
Na2SO4: i = 3, 3 0.01 = 0.03
C6H12O6: i = 1, 1 0.015 = 0.015
Urea: i = 1, 1 0.01 = 0.01
KNO3: i = 2, 2 0.01 = 0.02
The largest value is for Na2SO4, so it has the highest boiling point.
Answer: (1)
