Question:medium

Compare boiling point of given solutions:

(i) \( 10^{-4} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(ii) \( 10^{-3} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(iii) \( 10^{-2} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(iv) \( 10^{-4} \, \text{M urea} \) 

(iii) \( 10^{-2} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(ii) \( 10^{-3} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(i) \( 10^{-4} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(iv) \( 10^{-4} \, \text{M urea} \) 

(ii) \( 10^{-3} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(i) \( 10^{-4} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(iii) \( 10^{-2} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(iv) \( 10^{-4} \, \text{M urea} \) 

(iii) \( 10^{-2} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(ii) \( 10^{-3} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(i) \( 10^{-4} \, \text{M NaCl} \)>(iv) \( 10^{-4} \, \text{M urea} \) 
 

Show Hint

Boiling point elevation is directly related to the molality of the solution and the number of dissociated particles.

  • \( i>ii>iii>iv \)
  • \( iii>ii>i>iv \)
  • \( ii>i>iii>iv \)
  • \( iii>ii>i>iv \)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

A greater elevation in boiling point corresponds to a higher boiling point.
\( \Delta T_b \propto i \times m \)
For urea, \( i = 1 \).
For NaCl, \( i = 2 \).
Boiling point order: III>II>I>IV
