Arrange the following solutions in order of their increasing boiling points.
(i) $10^{-4} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaCl}$
(ii) $10^{-4} \mathrm{M}$ $Urea$
(iii) $10^{-3} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaCl}$
(iv) $10^{-2} \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaCl}$
Assertion (A): Elevation in boiling point is a colligative property.
Reason (R): Elevation in boiling point is directly proportional to molarity.
The quantity of heat (in J) required to raise the temperature of 1.0 kg of ethanol from 293.45 K to the boiling point and then change the liquid to vapor at that temperature is closest to
[Given: Boiling point of ethanol 351.45 K specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol $2.44 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~g}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}$. Latent heat of vaporization of ethanol $855 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~g}^{-1}$ ]
Elevation in Boiling Point:
Boiling Point: It is the temperature of a liquid at which its vapour pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.
Now, the lowering of the vapour pressure of the solution occurs when the addition of non-volatile solute in solvent happens. In order to boil the solution, it is necessary to increase the temperature of the solution above the boiling point of the pure solvent. It means the boiling point of the solution is always higher than the boiling point of the pure solvent. This increase in the boiling point of the solution is called elevation in boiling point

It is also termed as Ebullioscopy.
Suppose and
are the B.P. of pure solvent and solution respectively, then elevation in B.P
is given as
is directly proportional to the molality of solution
If molality of the solution is one, then
The elevation in B.P. is also given as
Molecular weight of solute can be found out as follows
Here w = weight of solute
W = weight of solvent
Kb= molal elevation constant or ebullioscopic constant.
M = molar mass of solute
M1 = molar mass of solvent
The value of or Ebullioscopic constant is a property of the solvent only and does not depend on the type of solute. The value of
can be calculated as:
Here Lv or = latent heat of vaporization.
