Answer:
Boiling-point elevation describes the phenomenon that the boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when another compound is added, meaning that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent. This happens whenever a non-volatile solute, such as a salt, is added to a pure solvent, such as water.

- Boiling point elevation refers to the increase in the boiling point of a solvent upon the addition of a solute. When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, the resulting solution has a higher boiling point than that of the pure solvent. For example, the boiling point of a solution of sodium chloride (salt) and water is greater than that of pure water.
- Boiling point elevation is a colligative property of matter, i.e. it is dependent on the solute-to-solvent ratio but not on the solute’s identity. This implies that the elevation in the boiling point of a solution depends on the amount of solute added to it. The greater the concentration of solute in the solution, the greater the boiling point elevation.
- FIG :- A graph detailing the elevation in the boiling point of water upon the addition of sucrose is provided above. At 1atm of pressure, pure water boils at 100oC. However, a 10 molal solution of sucrose in water boils at approximately 105oC.
