What is the colligative property that means a solution typically has a measurably higher boiling point than a pure solvent alone?
a) osmotic pressure
b) boiling point elevation
c) boiling point alleviation
d) vapor-pressure lowering

Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we add a non-volatile solute in a solvent then due to the impurity added to the solution there will occur an increase in the boiling point of the solution.

This increase in boiling point will be known as elevation in boiling point.

This increase in boiling point arises because particles of the non-volatile solute are aligned at the surface of solution due to which solvent particles are not able to escape out of the solution.

Hence, high amount of heat is required for the solute particles to escape out of the solution. Therefore, an increase in boiling point will occur.

Thus, we can conclude that boiling point elevation is the colligative property that means a solution typically has a measurably higher boiling point than a pure solvent alone.

in cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. a contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes.
