The addition of a non-volatile solute elevates the boiling point of a solution (in addition to the depression of freezing point). The formula is ΔT = Kbm where ΔT is the change in temperature, Kb is the ebullioscopic constant, and m is the molality (not molarity) of the solution.

It increases the boiling point of water. (under the condition that the solute is non-volatile so it doesn't contribute to the total vapor pressure).

This comes from an equation that states that the extent of poiling-point elevation is proportional to the molal concentration (the amount of solute divided by the mass of the solvent) of the solution. porviding the solution is ideal and diluted.

What are the three properties of a solution?

1. Vapor pressure lowering: the decrease in vapor pressure with increasing the number of solute molecules in solution. 2. Boiling point elevation: the increase in boiling point with increasing number of solute molecules in solution. 3.

What happens to a solvent when a nonvolatile solute is added to it?

It increases the boiling point of the solution and it increases the temperature range over which the solution remains a liquid.


How do different solutes affect boiling point?

When a solute is added to a solvent, the boiling point is raised according to the equation ΔTb=Kbm. Thus, the boiling temperature of a solution can be described by: Tb(solution)=ΔTb + Tb(pure solvent). However, for the purposes of this question, adding a solute increases the boiling point of a solution.
