Question

If a solute associates in a solvent, its experimentally calculated molar mass using boiling point elevation method will be (A) half of the actual value (B) will remain same as actual value (C) one fourth of the actual value (D) higher than the actual value

If a solute associates in a solvent, its experimentally calculated molar mass using boiling point elevation method will be higher than the actual value. As colligative property are inversely proportional to molecular mass of solute.

Q. If a solute associates in a solvent, its experimentally calculated molar mass using boiling point elevation method will be

half of the actual value

will remain same as actual value

one fourth of the actual value

higher than the actual value
