Boiling point elevation of an ideal solution_______________?

Correct answer: A. Increases rapidly with temperature rise

  • A. Increases rapidly with temperature rise
  • B. Decreases rapidly with temperature rise
  • C. In independent of pressure
  • D. Both B. and C.

Explanation

For an ideal dilute solution, ΔT_b = K_bm, and K_b is approximately proportional to T_b²/ΔH_vap, so the elevation increases as the boiling temperature rises. It is therefore not strictly independent of pressure, making option A the intended statement.
