Concept introduction:
The effect of the addition of a non-volatile component to a solvent is that there is an increase in the boiling point. This is called elevation in boiling point. Such an increase is observed since the surface of the solvent is saturated with solute particles. This results in the lesser escape of gaseous molecules and hence the vapor pressure of the solution gets lowered compared to the vapor pressure found above the pure solvent to which no solute has been added.
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of solution becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure is known as the boiling point. Due to the lesser vapor pressure, the solution needs to be heated to higher temperatures in order to boil it. Therefore, the boiling point of the solution is elevated.
One mole of the nonvolatile solute increases the boiling point of one kilogram of water by
The extent of elevation in boiling point is directly proportional to the amount of non-volatile solute added. For example,
The formula to calculate the number of moles from the mass is given as follows:
