Which statement comparing solutions with pure solvents is not correct?
A)A solution containing a non-volatile solute has a lower vapor pressure than pure solvent.
B)A solution containing a non-volatile solute has a lower boiling point than pure solvent.
C)A solution containing a non-volatile solute has a lower freezing point than pure solvent.
D)A solution will have a greater mass than an equal volume of pure solvent if the solute has a molar mass greater than the solvent.
E)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding a non-volatile solute to a solvent results in a solution with a higher boiling point than the pure solvent, due to the elevation of boiling point phenomenon. This is contrary to choice B, which incorrectly states that the solution would have a lower boiling point.
