Answer: Boiling point elevation

Step-by-step explanation:

Boiling Point Elevation is the property of a solute that allows it to modify the boiling point of a solid. The boiling point of a solution that contains a non-volatile solute becomes greater than the boiling point of the pure solvent (without any solute). As the solute concentration increases in a solution, there is an increment in the boiling point as well hence called the boiling point elevation.
