What Is Boiling Point?
The temperature at which vapour pressure of a liquid becomes
equal to its external pressure is called boiling point.
Why addition of non-volatile solute increases boiling
point?
The vapour pressure of the solution decreases upon addition
of non-volatile solute, according to Raolt’s Law. Hence,
boiling point of the solution increases.
The increase in boiling point of a liquid when a non-volatile
solute is added in it is called boiling point elevation.
To T
TEMPRATURE K —The figure shows the vapour
pressure curves for the
pure liquid solvent and the
solution. At the temperature Tp,
the vapour pressure of the pure
solvent
becomes equal to the
atmospheric pressure P and T, is
the
boiling point of the solvent. But
the vapour pressure of the
two solutions 1 and 2 at Ty is Pi
and P2 respectively, which are less
than atmospheric pressure and
therefore it is needed to heat the
solvent to a highertemperature
say T1 and T> for solutions 1 and 2
respectively in order that the
vapour pressure becomes equal tc
the atmospheric pressure. ThusT,
and T2 are the boiling points of the
solutions 1 and 2 respectively.Thus it is clear that the solution
has higher
boiling point than the pure solvent
or To.
Evidently (Ti- T,)and (T2-T,) are
the elevation in boiling points of
solutions 1 and 2 respectively.
Since its magnitude is determined
by the vapour pressure lowering
the elevation in boiling point is
also proportional to solute
concentration.

It is quite clear from the above
discussion that we can calculate
molecular mass of solute by
measuring the elevation in boiling
point of a solution and elevation
in boiling point is a colligative
property.EXPERIMENT
AIM : To study the effect of various
solutes on the elevation of boiling of water
MATERIALS REQUIRED:
1.Bunsen burner 2. Tripod stand
3. Wire mesh 4. 250ml flask
5. Glass stirrer 6. Thermometer
7. Solutes under investigation
8. Tap Water
1.Set up the apparatus using a 250ml beaker
containing 200m! of the experimental solution.
4 r2.Put the beaker on a tripod stand with a wire mesh
and use a Bunsen burner to heat the solution
3.A celestial thermometer calibrated up to 110°C is
immersed in the solution in the beaker with the
help of a clamp stand.
4.The initial temperature taken before starting the
experiment was considered as the room
temperature.
5.At first, find the boiling point of tap water. This
temperature is taken as the standard boiling point
of the solution.6.Now, prepare three different concentrations of
NaCl and boil 250ml of each one by one in the
beaker.
7. Take the readings of the temperature after every 20
seconds
8. After 90 seconds, take the readings after every 10
seconds in order to easily find out the concurrent
result.
9. Repeat the procedure similarly for different
concentrations of glucose and take the observations
accordingly.OBSERVATION:
‘The boiling point of tap water as solvent is found to be 99.3°C
Least count of thermometer: 01°C

On increasing the concentration, the boiling point of
NaCl and glucose increases.
DISCUSSION AND SOURCES OF ERROR
The two experiments were not conducted simultaneously and
due to non-availability of distilled water, tap water was also
used. Moreover, due to prolonged heating, some of the
solution evaporates bringing about a change in the actual
concentrations. So it can be suggested that increase in b.p is
dependent only on the number of moles of solute and not on
the nature of the solute whether it is NaCl or glucose. Also,
NaCl dissociates into ions Na* and CI’, giving rise to two ions
from one unit.
The difference between theoretical predictions and
experimentally found values can be attributed to experimental
errors as experiment was not conducted in controlled
laboratory conditions.
It is proved that when a non-volatile solute is added to a
volatile solvent, the b.p. of the solvent increases. Also, this
increase in b.p is not dependent on the nature of the solute but
depends only on the number of moles of the solute. Thus, this
elevation in b.p. is a colligative property.BIBILOGRPAHY
