I need to find the boiling point, but I am confused on this question

0.250M glucose in water (assume the density of water is 1.00 g/ml)

#4 in Related Questions.

But that one was density of solution, but this problem is density of water so is that different???

I am not sure, hence the modified title...

None of this makes sense to me. The question isn't complete.

Thank you for looking, I hunt the related questions for "best match", having no clue as to how to perform them myself. This is the first "callback".

I try to stay clear of the first 2 pages with this mode, as answered questions tend to get overlooked, at least by my eye.

To find the boiling point of a solution, you need to consider the effect of the solute (glucose in this case) on the boiling point of the solvent (water). The boiling point elevation can be determined using the formula:

ΔTb = Kb * m

Where:
- ΔTb is the boiling point elevation
- Kb is the molal boiling point elevation constant
- m is the molality of the solute

First, calculate the molality (m) using the following formula:

m = moles of solute / mass of solvent (in kg)

To find the moles of glucose, multiply the concentration (0.250 M) by the volume of the solution:

Moles of glucose = concentration * volume

Since the volume is not provided, let's assume it's 1000 ml, which is equivalent to 1 liter or 1 kg (since density of water is 1.00 g/ml).

Moles of glucose = 0.250 * 1

Next, we calculate the molality:

m = moles of glucose / mass of water

Since the density of water is 1.00 g/ml and the volume is 1000 ml:

mass of water = 1.00 g/ml * 1000 ml

Now, we can calculate the molality:

m = moles of glucose / mass of water

Finally, using the molality (m) and the boiling point elevation constant (Kb), you can calculate the boiling point elevation (ΔTb).

It's important to note that the boiling point elevation is an additive property. The boiling point of the solution is the sum of the boiling point of the pure solvent and the boiling point elevation.

Thus, you need to know the boiling point of the pure solvent (water) to determine the boiling point of the solution.

Please provide the boiling point elevation constant (Kb) for water, and I can assist you further in calculating the boiling point.
