Question

Adding 1 mol magnesium chloride (MgCl_{2}) in 1 kg of water will cause a greater increase in boiling point than adding 1 mol of glucose ($$C_{6}$H_{12}O$$_{6}) in the same amount of water. Explain why.

Accepted Answer

Magnesium chloride will produce more particles than glucose which will cause a greater increase in boiling point.

Answer

Glucose will produce more particles than magnesium chloride which will cause a greater increase in boiling point.

Answer

Magnesium chloride is soluble in water while glucose is only sparingly soluble. Magnesium chloride will produce more dissolved particles causing a greater increase in boiling point.

Answer

Both magnesium chloride and glucose should cause the same increase in boiling point because 1 mol of both species is dissolved in water.

Adding 1 mol magnesium chloride (MgCl2) in 1 kg of water will cause a greater increase in boiling point than adding 1 mol of glucose (C6H12O6) in the same amount of water. Explain why.

Adding 1 mol magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) in 1 kg of water will cause a greater increase in boiling point than adding 1 mol of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) in the same amount of water. Explain why.
