Question

Presence of non-volatile solute raises the ______ (melting/boiling) point of liquids.

Answer 1

Boiling point elevation describes the phenomenon that the boiling point of a liquid will be higher when another non-volatile compound is added.

It means that a solution has a higher boiling point than the pure solvent. This happens whenever a non-volatile solute, such as salt is added to a pure solvent, as like water.

So, the correct answer is boiling.
