0.50 mole of KCl, a strong electrolyte, is added to 2.0 kg of water. The boiling point of the solution will be ________ the boiling point of pure water.
A)higher than
B)lower than
C)the same as

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding a strong electrolyte like KCl to water will increase its boiling point. This is because the ions present in the solution will increase the boiling point of the solution by increasing its vapor pressure. Therefore, the boiling point of the KCl solution will be higher than the boiling point of pure water.
