Answer to Question #251976 in General Chemistry for Larah

Question

A solution contains 50.0 g of sucrose, C12H22O11, a nonelectrolyte, dissolved in 500.0g of water. What is the boiling-point elevation?

Answer 1

solution

Elevation in boiling point is given by:

Weight of solvent (water)= 500.0 g = 0.5 kg 

Molar mass of solute (sucrose) = 342 g/mol

Mass of solute (sucrose) = 50.0 g
