The elevation in boiling point of a solution is proportional to the ______________ of the solution?

Correct answer: A. Molal concentration

  • A. Molal concentration
  • B. Reciprocal of the molal concentration
  • C. Normality
  • D. Molarity

Explanation

For a dilute solution, boiling-point elevation follows ΔTb = Kb m, so it is proportional to molality, the moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Molarity and normality depend on solution volume and are not the defining concentration here.
