What is the Boiling Point Elevation Calculator?
The Boiling Point Elevation Calculator helps you determine the increase in a solvent’s boiling point when a solute is added, based on colligative properties. By entering the solvent’s ebullioscopic constant (K<sub>b</sub>), the molality of the solute, and the Van’t Hoff factor (i), the calculator computes the boiling point elevation (ΔT<sub>b</sub>) using the formula ΔT<sub>b</sub> = i × K<sub>b</sub> × m. This tool is useful for chemistry students and professionals to quickly analyze solutions and understand the effect of solutes on boiling points.
How to Use:
- Enter Ebullioscopic Constant (K<sub>b</sub>): Input the solvent-specific constant in °C·kg/mol.
- Enter Molality (m): Type the molality of the solute in mol/kg.
- Enter Van’t Hoff Factor (i): Input the number of particles the solute dissociates into.
- Click “Calculate”: The calculator will display the boiling point elevation (ΔT<sub>b</sub>) in °C.
- Review the Result: Use the output to understand how solute concentration affects the boiling point. Ensure all inputs are positive; otherwise, the calculator will prompt for valid values.
