Why does a solution containing non-volatile solute have higher boiling point than the pure solvent? Why is elevation of boiling point a colligative property?
The boiling point of substance can be defined as, it is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the substance equal to atmospheric pressure. According to Raoult's law, the vapour pressure of a solvent decreases in the presence of a non-volatile solute. Thus, the vapour pressure of a solution containing a non-volatile solute requires a high temperature to become equal to the atmospheric pressure. That is why the boiling point of a solution containing a non-volatile solute increases. Thus, the solution containing a non-volatile solute has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent. Example of non-volatile solute sugar, NaCl. etc.
Elevation in boiling point is a colligative property, as it depends on the number of solute particles present in a solution.
