Identify the compound amongst the following of which 0.1 M aqueous solution has the highest boiling point


A) Glucose

B) Sodium chloride

C) calcium chloride

D) Ferric chloride

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

As all the compounds have same concentration, i.e, 0.1M . Thus, the compound that will break into the most parts has highest boiling point.

Glucose (1 part, covalent ; does not ionise)

Sodium chloride (1 Na,1Cl ; ionises)

Calcium  chloride (1 Ca ,2Cl; ionise)

Ferric chloride (1Fe, 3Cl; ionises)
