If a solute associates in a solvent, its experimentally calculated molar mass using boiling point elevation method will be

  1. A half of the actual value
  2. B will remain same as actual value
  3. C one fourth of the actual value
  4. D higher than the actual value
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) higher than the actual value

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If a solute associates in a solvent, its experimentally calculated molar mass using boiling point elevation method will be higher than the actual value. As colligative property are inversely proportional to molecular mass of solute.
