What is the boiling point of a solution made by dissolving 23.6 g of a non-ionizing solute with a molar mass of 103.5 g/mol in 188 g of water?

The boiling point of solution is 100.62°C

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point is defined as the difference in the boiling point of solution and freezing point of pure solution.

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

Or,

where,

Boiling point of pure water = 100°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

= molal boiling point elevation constant = 0.512°C/m.g

= Given mass of solute = 23.6 g

= Molar mass of solute = 103.5 g/mol

= Mass of solvent (water) = 188 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 100.62°C

the answer is option a.
