If for a sucrose solution, elevation in boiling point is $0.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, then what will be the boiling point of NaCl solution for same molal concentration?
- A$0.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
- Correct answerB$0.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
- C$0.08^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
- D$0.01^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
Solution
Elevation in boiling point is a colligative property as it depends upon the number of particles.
$\Delta T_b \propto n$
For sucrose, $n=1, \Delta T_b=0.1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
For $\mathrm{NaCl}, n=2, \Delta T_b=0.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
