Question:

The correct order of boiling points of the given aqueous solutions is

Show Hint

Colligative properties depend on the number of solute particles. Strong electrolytes dissociate completely, producing more particles than weak electrolytes or non-electrolytes.

  • 1 N KNO3>1 N NaCl>1 N CH3COOH>1 N sucrose
  • 1 N KNO3 = 1 N NaCl>1 N CH3COOH>1 N sucrose
  • Same for all
  • 1 N KNO3 = 1 N NaCl = 1 N CH3COOH>1 N sucrose

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The boiling point elevation is a colligative property, which depends on the number of solute particles in the solution:

  • KNO3: Strong electrolyte, dissociates into 2 ions (K+ and NO3).
  • NaCl: Strong electrolyte, dissociates into 2 ions (Na+ and Cl).
  • CH3COOH: Weak electrolyte, partially dissociates into CH3COO and H+ ions.
  • Sucrose: Non-electrolyte, does not dissociate.

23

Since strong electrolytes like KNO3 and NaCl produce more particles in solution compared to weak electrolytes like CH3COOH and non-electrolytes like sucrose, the order of boiling points is: 1 N KNO3 = 1 N NaCl>1 N CH3COOH>1 N sucrose.
