For dilute solutions the elevation of boiling point (∆Tb ) is directly proportional to which of the following? |
Molar concentration of solute Molal concentration of solute Mass fraction of solute Volume fraction of solvent |
Molal concentration of solute |
∆Tb ∝ m or ∆Tb = Kb m Here m (molality) is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of solvent and the constant of proportionality, Kb is called Boiling Point Elevation Constant or Molal Elevation Constant (Ebullioscopic Constant). The unit of Kb is K kg mol-1. |
