Identify the compound amongst the following of which 0.1 M aqueous solution has highest boiling point.

Question

Identify the compound amongst the following of which 0.1 M aqueous solution has highest boiling point. (A) Glucose (B) Sodium chloride (C) Calcium chloride (D) Ferric chloride

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

As all the compounds have same concentration, i.e.

0.1 M

. Thus, the compound that will break into the most parts has highest boiling point.

Glucose (1 part, covalent; does not ionise)

Sodium chloride (1 Na,

1 Cl

; ionises)

Calcium chloride

(1 C a, 2 Cl;

ionises)

Ferric chloride (1Fe,

3 Cl;

ionises)
