When a non-volatile solute is added to solvent,there is increase in boiling point of solution. Explain. |
|
Answer» When a non-volatile solute is added to a volatile solvent the vapour pressure of pure solvent decreases because a part of the surface is occupied by non-volatile solute which can’t volatilise. As a result, the vapour pressure of solution decreases and hence, the solution requires a comparatively higher temperature to boil causing an elevation of boiling point. |
