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 answer
    B
    $0.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
  • 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'.
