Question

Describe vapour pressure lowering and boiling point elevation ​

Answer 1

$\huge{\red{\mathtt{\underline{Answer:}}}}$

When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, the vapour pressure of the resulting solution is lower than that of the pure solvent. Therefore, a greater amount of heat must be supplied to the solution for it to boil. This increase in the boiling point of the solution is the boiling point elevation.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, the vapour pressure of the resulting solution is lower than that of the pure solvent. Therefore, a greater amount of heat must be supplied to the solution for it to boil. This increase in the boiling point of the solution is the boiling point elevation.
