Order the one has highest boiling point to lowest
« on: November 15, 2019, 04:22:08 AM »
1 g each of these dissolve in 1 L water
1. Glucose
2. Sodium chloride
3. Sodium sulfate
4. Magnesium chloride

My answer :
Glucose is the lowest, due to covalent bonding with no hydrogen forces not ionic

Na2so4 Nacl and mgcl2
But what about these 3?
Should i count it wih formula of t=i*kb*b
b = molality
Kb = constanta
i = van hoff factor

Yes. Same for glucose - ionic vs. covalent is irrelevant - and it does have hydrogen bonding.

according to your formula t/kb=i*b should show the highest value. Compare all i*b values.

After i calculated, i get nacl = 0.035, and mgcl2 = 0.0315, so highest is nacl
But the answer isnt nacl, why?

From the question:
"Order the one has the highest boiling point to lowest"
I understand that the answer should be:
eg.) 1>3>2>4 or 1,3,2,4

Tell me how do i decide which one is higher and lower?

You were on the right lines before. @AWK is simply pointing out that the question doesn't say "which is highest?" but "put them in order".

Ok. But the highest isnt nacl, why is it wrong then?

From my calculation nacl is bigger than mgcl2, but why the answer mgcl2 has higher boil point than nacl?

Must be an error, I got the same numbers as you did for NaCl and MgCl2 and your conclusion that NaCl has the highest boiling point looks OK.

Technically i for MgCl2 will be lower than 3 due to the ion association, whether you should account for that or nor depends on the course level. If that is a HS course i=3 is a reasonable first approximation.

Four months ago there was an analogous question (using 10 g of substances)  with the same wrong answer: magnesium chloride
https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/118229/which-one-has-the-highest-boiling-point

Please, give the source of your problem

Yes. I found it but i already posted here. What do i do by "give source of problem"
