Which of the following solutions will have the highest boiling point? A)1.0 g of NaCl in 100 g of water B)1.0 g of KNO₃ in 100 g of water C)1.0 g of NaC₂H₃O₂ in 100 g of water D)All the solutions will have the same boiling point.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boiling point elevation depends on the number of solute particles in the solution. NaCl dissociates into two ions (Na+ and Cl-), providing more particles compared to KNO3 and NaC2H3O2, which also dissociate but have different molar masses and dissociation extents. Thus, NaCl will cause a higher boiling point elevation.
