5.23 g of ethylene glycol, C2H6O2, are dissolved into 200.0 g of water. What is the boiling point of the final solution if kb = +0.512oC/m

a. 100.22 oC   
b. 100.10oC

Always find the no of moles first if you have no idea what to do and understand all the definitions first before solving the question.
