Which one of the following aqueous solutions will exhibit the highest boiling point?
Options
- A0 . 01   M   KNO 3
- B0 . 015   M urea
- C0 . 015   M glucose
- D0 . 01   M Na 2 SO 4
Correct answer
D. 0 . 01   M Na 2 SO 4
Step-by-step solution
Elevation in boiling point is a colligative property which depends upon the number of solute particles. Greater the number of solute particles in a solution, higher the extent of elevation in boiling point. Na 2 SO 4 ⟶ 2 Na + + SO 4 2 -   . On complete dissociation, i = 3 Δ T b KNO 3 = i  K b · m i = 2 Δ T b urea = i K b · m i  = 1 Δ T b glucose = i K b · m i  = 1 Δ T b Na 2 SO 4 = i  K b · m i = 3 The Van't Hoff factor is the highest for N
