Which of the following solutions will exhibit highest boiling point?
  1. $0.01 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(a q)$
  2. $0.01 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{KNO}_{3}(a q)$
  3. $0.015 \mathrm{M}$ urea $(a q)$
  4. $0.015 \mathrm{M}$ glucose $(a q)$

Solution

For, assume complete dissociation For $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} ; \quad i=3, m=0.01$ $\begin{aligned} &\Delta T_{b}=i K_{b} m \\ &\Delta T_{b}=3 \times K_{b} \times 0.01=0.03 K_{b} \end{aligned}$ For, 0.01 M $\mathrm{KNO}_{3}$; $\begin{aligned} i &=2, m=0.01 \\ \Delta T_{b} &=2 \times K_{b} \times 0.01 K_{b}=0.02 K_{b} \end{aligned}$ While, urea and glucose are non-electrolyte They do not dissociate into ions highest boiling point is shown by $0.01 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(a q)$ solution.
