Problem:
Assuming complete dissociation, calculate the boiling point (in degrees C) of a solution made by dissolving 2.67 g of sodium chloride in 15.7 g of water. The Kfp of the solvent is 0.512 K/m and the normal boiling point is 373K.
Answer: 102.98 Celcius
Attempt:
This problem looks simple, however the trick part is they only gave the Normal boiling point. Please check why I did not get the right answer:
DeltaBP = Kbp*molality
molality= moles of solute/kg of solvent
molality= (2.67/58.44)/(15.7/1000)
molality= 2.91m
Therefore:
DeltaBP = Kbp*2.91
Now, how can I get the Kbp??? Is there any way I can use the Kfp to find Kbp? Someone please help me.
