Which of the following aqueous solutions should have the highest boiling point?
Options
- A( 1.0 M NaOH )
- B( 1.0 M Na ₂ SO ₄ )
- C( 1.0 M NH ₄ NO ₃ )
- D( 1.0 M KNO ₃ )
Correct answer
B. ( 1.0 M Na ₂ SO ₄ )
Step-by-step solution
Colligative property is an extensive property which depend on the number of moles of solute particles. array |l|c| Aqueous Solution & Number of Particles NaOH Na ⁺+ OH ⁻ & 2 Na ₂ SO ₄ 2 Na ⁺+ SO ₄²⁻ & 3 NH ₄ NO ₃ NH ₄⁺+ NO ₃⁻ & 2 KNO ₃ K ⁺+ NO ₃⁻ & 2 array Since, the concentration of the all compounds are same, therefore, compound having maximum no. of ions, that is, Na ₂ SO ₄ will have highest boiling point.
