Question
Out of 1 M glucose and 2 M glucose, which one has a higher boiling point and why?
Advertisements
Solution
The elevation in the boiling point of a solution is a colligative property; therefore, it is affected by the number of particles of the solute. Since the amount of solute is higher in 2 M glucose solution as compared to 1 M glucose solution, the elevation in the boiling point is higher. Hence, 2 M glucose solution has a higher boiling point than 1 M glucose solution.
