Which of the following solutions will have the highest boiling point ?

Updated On: Jun 23, 2023
  • $0.1 \,M \,FeCl_3$
  • $0.1 \,M\, BaCl_2$
  • $0.1 \,M \,NaCl$
  • $0.1 M\, urea \,(NH_2CONH_2)$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Except for urea (a non electrolyte) the ionisation of $FeCl_3, BaCl_2, NaCl$ can be represented as follows $ {FeCl_3-> Fe^{3+} + 3Cl^-}$ $ { BaCl_2 -> Ba2+ + 2Cl^-}$ $ {NaCl -> Na+ + Cl^-}$ As number of particles (ions) produced is maximum in $FeCl_3$ the elevation in boiling point (a colligative property) will be maximum in case of $FeCl_3$.

Solutions

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.

For example, salt and sugar is a good illustration of a solution. A solution can be categorized into several components.

Types of Solutions:

The solutions can be classified into three types:

  • Solid Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Solid-state.
  • Liquid Solutions- In these solutions, the solvent is in a Liquid state.
  • Gaseous Solutions - In these solutions, the solvent is in a Gaseous state.

On the basis of the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, solutions are divided into the following types:

  1. Unsaturated Solution- A solution in which more solute can be dissolved without raising the temperature of the solution is known as an unsaturated solution.
  2. Saturated Solution- A solution in which no solute can be dissolved after reaching a certain amount of temperature is known as an unsaturated saturated solution.
  3. Supersaturated Solution- A solution that contains more solute than the maximum amount at a certain temperature is known as a supersaturated solution.
