What is the tendency of a solute to change the boiling point of a solid called?
A. Boiling point elevation
B. Melting point elevation
C. Freezing point depression
D. Boiling point depression

Respuesta :

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 contain 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 increment in the boiling point as well hence called the boiling point elevation.

What is Boiling Point Elevation  ?

Boiling point elevation is a colligative property of matter. It is the difference in the temperature of the boiling point of the pure solvent in comparison to that of the solution that has solute added in it.

Factor on which "Boiling Point Elevation" depend upon:

It depends on the solute-to-solvent ratio; or the number of dissolved particles in a solution but it is important to keep in mind that it does not depend on the solute's identity. Therefore, it can be said that the elevation in the boiling point of any given solution depends on the amount of solute that is added to it.

Freezing point depression

When solute molecules are introduced to a solvent, freezing point depression occurs, which is a colligative property of matter. A solution's freezing point is always lower than a pure solvent's freezing point, and it is proportional to the molality of the solute.

This explains that "Boiling point elevation"  is the tendency of a solute to change the boiling point of a solid and not the other options like  Freezing point depression. Also there is not elevation of melting point and depression occurring in boiling point on adding the solute to the solvent.
