What Is the Boiling Point of a Urea Solution?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the boiling point of a urea solution, 7.49 g of urea is dissolved in 28.0 g of water, resulting in a molality of approximately 4.458 m. The boiling point elevation constant (Kbp) for water is 0.512 K/m, and the normal boiling point of water is 373 K. The calculated boiling point of the solution is 375.28 K, which converts to 102.283 °C. There is confusion regarding the van't Hoff factor (i), with some sources suggesting it may not be necessary for urea, a non-electrolyte. The discussion highlights a mix of calculations and personal reflections on the challenges of understanding the topic.

Homework Statement


Calculate the boiling point (in degrees C) of a solution made by dissolving 7.49 g of urea {CO(NH2)2} in 28.0 g of water. The Kbp of the solvent is 0.512 K/m and the normal boiling point is 373 K

Homework Equations


Delta Tf = (i)(m)(Kbp)

The Attempt at a Solution



Kbp= 0.512 k/m

molality (m)= ?
first I have to find molality
(7.49g/60g)/(.028 kg water) = 4.458m

I don't know what the i value is. What do I do with the normal boiling point?

The answer is 102.283 celicus this would be 375.28K.
Then I did some research on the internet I came across this site that didn't use the i value is this possible.
375.28= 373 + delta Tf

I came to this forum to try and help out, but I see only so much stuff I don't know anything about anymore ... Obviously my education outdated LOL
I've reached my bioling point ... I'm going out for a smoke !
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
