Molal boiling point elevation is the least for the solvent

  • A.water
  • B.ethanol
  • C.benzene
  • D.carbon tetrachloride
  • E.cyclohexane

Answer: A

The molal boiling point elevation is least for water.

The molal elevation constant (ebullioscopic constant) Kb is the rise in boiling point for a 1 molal solution. Its values are about 0.52 K kg mol-1 for water, 1.2 for ethanol, 2.53 for benzene, 2.79 for cyclohexane and about 5 for carbon tetrachloride.

Water's Kb is the smallest because of its low molar mass and its large enthalpy of vaporisation, so the other solvents all show a larger elevation.
