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.
