The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Choose the aqueous solution that has the highest boiling point. These are all solutions of nonvolatile solutes and you should assume ideal van't Hoff factors where applicable. 0.100 m C6H12O6 0.100 m AlCl3 0.100 m NaCl 0.100 m MgCl2 They all have the same boiling point.
Answer:
AlCl3 0.100 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us remember that the boiling point elevation is given by;
ΔTb = Kb m i
Where;
ΔTb = boiling point elevation
Kb = boiling point constant
m = molality of the solution
i = Van't Hoff factor
We can see from the question that all the solutions possess the same molality, ΔTb now depends on the value of the Van't Hoff factor which in turn depends on the number of particles in solution.
AlCl3 yields four particles in solution, hence ΔTb is highest for AlCl3 . The solution having the highest value of ΔTb also has the highest boiling point.
