Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following solutions has the highest boiling point elevation? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that boiling point elevation happens when a solute is added to a solvent, making the boiling point higher.
  • Step 2: Know that the more particles a solute breaks into when it dissolves, the greater the boiling point elevation.
  • Step 3: Look at the solute options given in the question. Identify how many particles each solute produces when it dissolves.
  • Step 4: For example, if you have CaCl2, it breaks into 3 particles: 1 calcium ion (Ca²⁺) and 2 chloride ions (Cl⁻).
  • Step 5: Compare this with other solutes. If another solute only breaks into 2 particles, it will cause less boiling point elevation than CaCl2.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the solution with CaCl2 has the highest boiling point elevation because it produces the most particles.
