Boiling point of a solution as compared to that of the corresponding solvent is _________________?
Correct answer: B. More
- A. Less
- B. More
- C. Same
- D. Either more or less; depends upon the solvent
Explanation
A dissolved non-volatile solute lowers the solvent vapour pressure, so a higher temperature is needed for the solution to boil. This is boiling-point elevation, making the solution's boiling point higher.
