Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a solution INCREASES with the number of dissolved solute particles.

This is summarized by the expression: Tb = m i Kb

Where:
Tb is the increase in the boiling point = Tb(solution) - Tb(pure solvent)
m is the molality of the solution = (# moles solute / kg solvent)
i is the "van't Hoff" factor = (# moles of solute particles / mole of solute)
  For nonelectrolytes: i = 1
  For strong electrolytes: i = number of (cations + anions)
  For weak electrolytes: 1 < i < number of (cations + anions)


Kb is the boiling point elevation constant. It depends only on the SOLVENT.

Example:
Na2SO4 is a soluble salt. It breaks into two Na+ cations and one SO42- anion in solution.
i = 2 + 1 = 3

CH3COOH is a weak acid. It breaks into a few CH3COO - anions and a few H+ cations.
1 < i < 2.
