Answer is: he boiling point of a 1.5 m aqueous solution of fructose is 100.7725°C.
The boiling point elevation is directly proportional to the molality of the solution according to the equation: ΔTb = Kb · b.
ΔTb - the boiling point elevation.
Kb - the ebullioscopic constant. of water.
b - molality of the solution.
Kb = 0.515
°C/m.
b = 1.5 m.
ΔTb = 0.515°C/m · 1.5 m.
ΔTb = 0.7725°C.
Tb(solution) = Tb(water) + ΔTb.
Tb(solution) = 100°C + 0.7725°C = 100.7725°C.
