View source for Boiling-point elevation

'''Boiling-point elevation''' is the increase in temperature of the [[boiling point]] of a liquid that contains non-volatile solute. It is a [[colligative property]]: for dilute solutions of non-[[electrolyte]]s, the difference in boiling point from that of the pure solvent is proportional to the [[Amount of substance|amount]] of solute.

'''Ebullioscopy''' is the experimental technique that uses boiling-point elevation to measure the [[molecular weight]] of compounds.
