Aqueous solutions from the following with the highest boiling point will be: (Assume no dissociation or association) |
0.1 M Urea 0.25 M Glucose 0.2 M Acetic acid 1.0 M Fructose |
1.0 M Fructose |
The correct answer is option (4) 1.0 M Fructose. The boiling point of a solution is affected by the concentration of solute particles in the solution. The greater the concentration of solute particles, the higher the boiling point elevation. Let us analyze the given options: 1. 0.1 M Urea 2. 0.25 M Glucose 3. 0.2 M Acetic acid Based on the given concentrations, the solution with the highest boiling point will be the one with the highest concentration of non-ionic solute particles. Therefore, the aqueous solution with the highest boiling point is option: 4. 1.0 M Fructose |
