1 g of non-volatile non-electrolyte solute is dissolved in 100 g of two different solvents A and B whose ebullioscopic constants are in the ratio of . The ratio of the elevation in their boiling points, is :
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)✓ Correct
- (D)
Answer: (C)
Solution
Boiling-point elevation is . The same mass of the same solute in the same mass of solvent means the molality is identical in A and B, so the elevations differ only through their values. Their ratio is therefore .
