Why does a non-volatile solute raise the boiling point?
AIts molecules evaporate first
BIt lowers surface tension
CIt lowers the vapour pressure
DIt raises the density
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It lowers the vapour pressure
The solute lowers vapour pressure, so a higher temperature is needed for it to reach the external pressure of 1.013 bar.
