Take into account that the boiling point of a liquid is increased when another substance or compund is added to the liquid. This situation is know as boiling point elevation.

The expression which determines the increase in the boiling point is:


\Delta T_b=k_b\cdot b_B

where kb is the ebullioscopic constant and bB is the molality of the solution.
