Question

Sensitivity of molar mass determination decreases with increase in molar mass of solute by ebullioscopy method.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The statement is true. An ebullioscope is an instrument for measuring the boiling point of a liquid. This can be used for determining the alcoholic strength of a mixture, or for determining the molecular weight of a non-volatile solute based on the boiling point elevation, which is more sensitive to the presence of other solutes. The procedure is known as ebullioscopy.
