Which of the following aqueous solutions should have the least boiling point?(a) 1.0 M KOH(b) 1.0 M (NH4)2SO4(c) 1.0 M K2CO3(d) 1.0 M K2SO4The question was posed to me in my homework.My question is based upon Abnormal Molar Masses topic in section Solutions of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer» CORRECT choice is (a) 1.0 M KOH

Easiest explanation: KOH→K^+ + OH^–

(NH4)2SO4→2NH4^+ + SO4^2-

K2CO3→2K^+ + CO3^2-

K2SO4→2K^+ + SO4^2-

Concentration of particles in 1.0 M KOH SOLUTION is minimum (= 2 M). Hence, it will minimum ELEVATION in boiling POINT.
