Boiling point depression: volatile vs. non-volatile solutes?
« on: July 25, 2012, 04:03:41 PM »
Is there a difference in boiling point depression for volatile and non-volatile solutes? I can't find an answer to this anywhere.

from a simplified "G-chem" perspective, the non-volatile solute is just that: it will remain dissolved.  The volatile solute on the other hand...?

Does this get you going in the right direction?  Most G-chem undergrad texts/courses/classes address the use of non-volatile solutes by the way.
