boiling point elevation of a benzene solution
« on: March 24, 2008, 09:16:42 PM »
What is the boiling point elevation of a benzene solution that is 2.0 m CCl4?
My solution: 2.53 x 2 = 5.06 degrees C - the boiling point elevation
5.06 + 80.1 = 85.16 degrees C - the boiling point

Is this correct? Or does CCl4 dissociate in a benzene solution?
Please help

Dear Oceanmd;

This is correct!,     –  It will only “dissociate” if you spend enough UV-Light, but then into Radicals, and not into ionic Form!
(That would then also be “Particles”.)

Good Luck!

Can you draw an ionic equation for CCl4, that you think will apply to benzene?
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
