What is the molal elevation constant of solvent ?
Options
- Aratio of boiling point elevation to molarity of solution.
- Bratio of boiling point elevation to mole fraction of solution.
- Cratio of boiling point elevation to molarity of solute.
- Dratio of boiling point elevation to molality of solution.
Correct answer
D. ratio of boiling point elevation to molality of solution.
Step-by-step solution
The elevation in boiling point is given by the relation: T_b = K_b m where T_b is the elevation in boiling point, K_b is the molal elevation constant, and m is the molality of the solution. Rearranging the formula, we get: K_b = T_b m Thus, the molal elevation constant is the ratio of the boiling point elevation to the molality of the solution. Answer: ratio of boiling point elevation to molality of solution.
