Which of the following solutions has the lowest boiling point? A)0.15 M NaCl B)0.10 M MgBr₂ C)0.15 M Ba(NO₃)₂ D)0.20 M C₂H₆O₂ E)0.10 M Fe(NO₃)₃

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boiling point elevation depends on the number of solute particles in the solution. C₂H₆O₂ is a non-electrolyte and does not dissociate into ions, so it contributes fewer particles compared to the ionic compounds which dissociate into multiple ions. Thus, it has the lowest boiling point elevation effect.
