Colligative Properties of Sodium Chloride and Glucose Solutions

Very Hard General Chemistry Solution Chemistry

A chemist is investigating the colligative properties of two different solutions to understand how solute concentration affects boiling point elevation. Solution A contains 2.0 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolved in 1.0 liter of water, and Solution B contains 1.0 mole of glucose (C6H12O6) dissolved in 1.0 liter of water. Given that sodium chloride dissociates into 2 ions (Na+ and Cl-) and glucose does not dissociate in solution, which solution will exhibit a higher boiling point? Assume ideal behavior for both solutions.
