Chapter 9, Problem 9.28UKC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason for $\text{HCl}$ added to water increases the boiling point by $\text{1}{\text{.0}}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$ whereas acetic acid increases by ${0.5}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$ has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Colligative properties such as vapor pressure, freezing point, and boiling point are affected by the presence of solute particles in a solution.

In comparing the a solution to a pure solvent, the solution has a lower vapor pressure , has a higher boiling point and a lower melting point. These colligative properties effects depend only on the number of dissolved particles.
