Question

what is ebuloscopic and cryoscopic constant

Open in App
Solution

The elevation of boiling point of solution, when a non volatile solute impuriy is added is given by the formula

Δ T = Kb m . Here Δ T is rise in boiling point , m is molality of solution and Kb is ebuloscopic constant. So Kb can be defined as change in boiling point of solvent in 1 molal solution.

The depression in freezing point of solution, when a non-volatile impurity is added is given by the formula

Δ T = Kf m Where Δ T is depression in freezing point, m is molality of solution and Kf is cryoscopic constant. so Kf is defined as change in freezing point of solvent in 1 molal solution.
