How will the boiling point of a liter of water containing 1 mole of sodium chloride (NaCl) compare with that of a liter of water containing 1 mole of calcium chloride (CaCl2)? Explain your answer.
The boiling point of the calcium chloride CaCl2 solution will be higher than that of the boiling point of the sodium chloride NaCl solution, because more molecules are present in the CaCl2 solution since CaCl2 dissociates into three ions while NaCl only dissociates into two ions.
