Question
What effect does adding a solute have on the boiling point of a solution?A.The temperature at which the solution boils is unchanged.B.The temperature at which the solution boils is lowered.C.The temperature at which the solution boils is raised.D.The solution will never reach a boiling point temperature.
Solution
C. The temperature at which the solution boils is raised.
This is known as boiling point elevation. When a solute is added to a solvent, it increases the boiling point of the solution. This is because the solute particles interfere with the ability of the solvent particles to vaporize, which is what happens during boiling. As a result, more energy (in the form of heat) is needed to make the solution boil, thus raising the boiling point.
