Which of the following solution has the highest boiling point ?
Correct answer: A. 5.85% NaCl Solution
- A. 5.85% NaCl Solution
- B. 18.0 % glucose solution
- C. 6.0 % urea solution
- D. All have same boiling point
Explanation
Boiling-point elevation depends on the number of dissolved particles. For 100 g of solution, NaCl gives about 0.100 mol ÷ 0.09415 kg = 1.06 mol kg-1, and its van't Hoff factor of about 2 gives roughly 2.12 effective mol kg-1, higher than glucose and urea, which do not ionise. The likely trap is glucose, because its percentage is larger, but concentration of particles rather than mass percentage alone matters.

About Properties of Liquids
Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
