Question:

The constant of proportionality, Kb is called Boiling Point Elevation Constant or Molal Elevation Constant (Ebullioscopic Constant). What is the unit of Kb?

Options:

K kg mol-2

K kg mol-1

K kg2 mol-1

K kg-1 mol-1

Correct Answer:

K kg mol-1

Explanation:

∆Tb = Kbm

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.
