Interpretation: The reason for the lesser magnitude of the boiling point elevation than that of the freezing point depression must be interpreted.
Concept introduction: Colligative properties are the properties that depend on the number of particles present in the solution. Elevation in boiling point, depression in freezing point, lowering in vapor pressure and osmotic pressure are some common examples of colligative properties.
Answer to Problem 9.1CP
The boiling point elevation is less than the freezing point depression because it depends on the
Explanation of Solution
The elevation in the boiling point can be expressed as:
Whereas, the depression in the freezing point is:
Since the value of
The elevation in the boiling point and depression in the freezing point varies with
