Answer #1

Boiling point elevation is an example for the colligative properties. It is the phenomenon in which the boiling point of a liquid is increased on the addition of a compound.

The elevation in boiling point is given by the equation,

ΔΤ = iK5 m

Here, \bigtriangleup T is the increase in boiling point

i is the van't Hoff factor

K_{b} is the boiling point elevation constant

m is the molality of the solution

Thus from the equation it can be identified that the elevation in boiling point is directly proportional to van't Hoff factor and molality of the solution.

van't Hoff factor is defined as the ratio of number of particles in the solution after the dissociation to the number of particles in the solution before dissociation.

For non electrolytes, i=1

For strong electrolytes, i=Number of cations +Number of anions

For weak electrolytes, 1<i<Number of cations+Number of anions

The i value for each of the given electrolytes are,

MgSO_{4}=2(MgSO_{4}\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+SO_{4}^{2-})

HBr=2(HBr\rightarrow H^{+}+Br^{-})

NaCl=2(NaCl\rightarrow Na^{+}+Cl^{-})

CaCl_{2}=3(CaCl_{2}\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2Cl^{-})

Glucose=1(non electrolyte)

On comparing the molality values,

MgSO4, Ta2 x 0.100m = 0.200m

HBr = 2, AT a2 x 0.100m = 0.200m

NaCl=2,\bigtriangleup T\alpha 2\times 0.010m=0.020m

CaCl_{2}=3, \bigtriangleup T\alpha 3\times 0.010m=0.030m

Glucose=1,\bigtriangleup T\alpha 1\times 0.010m=0.010m

Thus the order of increasing boiling point of the electrolytes are given by,

Glucose<NaCl<CaCl2<HBr<MgSO4
