Question

Which of the following aqueous solution will have highest boiling point?

(a) 1.0 m kcl
(b) 1.0 m k₂so₄
(c) 2.0 m kcl
(d) 2.0 m k₂so₄

Answer 1

The 2.0 m K2SO4 solution will have the highest boiling point.

Step-by-step explanation:

The boiling point of an aqueous solution is influenced by the molal boiling point elevation constant and the concentration of solute particles in the solution.

In this case, the highest boiling point will be found in the solution with the greatest concentration of solute particles.

Considering the options given, the 2.0 m K2SO4 solution will have the highest boiling point because it contains the most solute particles.
