a solution must be at a higher temperature than a pure solvent to boil. what colligative property can be employed to achieve this?

Respuesta :

Boiling-point elavation.

Answer : The colligative property employed to achieve this can be, Elevation in boiling point.

Explanation :

Elevation in boiling point : It is defined as the temperature or boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when the another compound is added. This means that a solution must be at a higher temperature or boiling point than a pure solvent.

For example : When a non-volatile solute (a salt) is added to a pure solvent such as water.

The formula for elevation in boiling point will be,

[tex]\Delta T_b=k_b\times m[/tex]

or,

[tex]T_b-T^o_b=\frac{1000\times k_b\times w_2}{w_1\times M_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]T_b[/tex] = boiling point of solution

[tex]T^o_b[/tex] = boiling point of pure solvent

[tex]k_b[/tex] = boiling point constant

m = molality

[tex]w_2[/tex] = mass of solute

[tex]w_1[/tex] = mass of solvent

[tex]M_2[/tex] = molar mass of solute

Hence, the colligative property employed to achieve this can be, Elevation in boiling point.
