Boiling-point elevation

ID: boiling-point-elevation

Boiling-point elevation is a colligative property of solutions that describes the phenomenon where the boiling point of a solvent increases when a non-volatile solute is dissolved in it. This occurs because the presence of solute particles interferes with the ability of solvent molecules to escape into the vapor phase, which is necessary for boiling to occur.
