Consider a solution made from a nonvolatile solute and a volatile solvent. Which statement is true
A) The vapor pressure of the solution is always greater than the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.
B) The boiling point of the solution is always greater than the boiling point of the pure solvent.
C) The freezing point of the solution is always greater than the freezing point of the pure solvent.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding a nonvolatile solute to a volatile solvent decreases the solvent's vapor pressure, leading to an increase in the boiling point of the solution compared to the pure solvent.
