Which of these solutes raises the boiling point of water the most? a. ionic lithium chloride (licl) b. ionic sodium chloride (nacl) c. molecular sucrose (c12h22o11) d. ionic sodium phosphate (na3po4) e. ionic magnesium bromide (mgbr2)

D. ionic sodium phosphate (Na3PO4)

Explanation:

Molecule for molecule, the solute that raises the boiling point of water the most is the one that makes the most particles in the solution. Lithium chloride breaks up into two ions (Li+ and Cl-). So does sodium chloride (Na+ and Cl-). Molecular molecules don't break up at all, so sucrose has only 1 particle per molecule. Sodium phosphate makes 4 total particles (3 Na+ ions and 1 PO4^3-). And magnesium bromide would make 3 particles (1 Mg2+ and 2 Br-). So the most is 4.

in the given question, the partial pressure is calculated by using the ideal gas equation, that is, pv = nrt

here, p is pressure, v is volume = 25 l, n is number of moles = 0.0104 moles, r is gas constant = -0.0821 l.atm / mol.k

t is temperature = 273 k

p = nrt / v

p = (0.0104 mol × 0.0821 l.atm / mol.k × 273 k) / 25 l

= 0.0093 atm
