Which of the following aqueous solutions will have the highest boiling point? A)0.10 m Na₂SO₄ B)0.20 m glucose C)0.25 m sucrose D)0.10 m NaCl E)0.10 m SrSO₄

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solutions with ionic compounds typically have higher boiling points due to the ionic compounds dissociating into ions, which increases the number of particles in solution. Na2SO4 (A) dissociates into 3 ions (2 Na+ and 1 SO4^2-), which increases the boiling point more significantly than the other options, which either do not dissociate into as many particles or are molecular compounds and do not dissociate into ions.
