  1. A \(1.204 \times 10^{23}\)
  2. B \(1.204 \times 10^{21}\)
  3. C \(6.022 \times 10^{23}\)
  4. D \(6.022 \times 10^{21}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1.204 \times 10^{21}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The elevation in boiling point is given by \(\Delta T_b = T_b - T_b^{\circ} = 100.01^{\circ} \text{C} - 100^{\circ} \text{C} = 0.01 \text{ K}\). Using the formula \(\Delta T_b = K_b \times m\), where \(m\) is the molality of the solution:…
