Boiling point
« on: July 17, 2011, 05:09:14 PM »
will the boiling point of a liquid increase or decrease when contaminated with a. a volatile impurity
b. a nonvolatile impurity..


i'm confused!

Do you know any laws or rules regarding boiling points of solutions?
Individual results may vary

only this info.
The simplest solution is made up of a solute and a solvent

 If the solvent is in pure form then the boiling point of the solvent will be that temperature at which the vapour pressure of the solvent = the atmospheric pressure.

 This the simplest definition of the boiling point.If a solute in its pure form is added to the solvent ... then the solute particles get mixed with the particles of the solvent  and all the particles of the solvent from near the surface  can now longer escape to the air , as they  experience gretaer pull or attractive force from the increased no of molecules.

A good example is the depression of the freezing point by adding NaCl to water. This will change the boilingpoint.

Another example is the azeotrope formed when mixing two liquids as toluene and water.

Boiling point will increase with volatile impurity.
