Elevation in BP and Depression in FPSolutions

You have two solutions: 0.1 M KCl and 0.1 M sugar. Which solution will have the higher boiling point and why?.

Expert Answer

0.1 M KCl. Colligative properties depend on the number of particles. Sugar (i=1) does not dissociate, while KCl (i=2) dissociates into K+ and Cl-. Since KCl produces more particles, the elevation in boiling point is higher.
