Question

Rank the following solutions in order of increasing boiling point: 1.5 m fructose, C₆H₁₂O₆ 2.2 m NaCl 2.0 m methanol, CH₃OH 1.0 m Al(NO₃)₃ A)C₆H₁₂O₆ < CH₃OH < Al(NO₃)₃ < NaCl B)CH₃OH < Al(NO₃)₃ < NaCl < C₆H₁₂O₆ C)Al(NO₃)₃ < NaCl < C₆H₁₂O₆ < CH₃OH D)C₆H₁₂O₆ < CH₃OH < NaCl < Al(NO₃)₃ E)NaCl < C₆H₁₂O₆ < CH₃OH < Al(NO₃)₃

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order is: C6H12O6 < CH3OH < Al(NO3)3 < NaCl. This is because the boiling point of a solution depends on the concentration of the solute particles in the solution. The more solute particles there are, the higher the boiling point. In this case, NaCl has the highest concentration of solute particles, followed by Al(NO3)3, CH3OH, and C6H12O6. Therefore, NaCl has the highest boiling point, followed by Al(NO3)3, CH3OH, and C6H12O6.
