Homework Statement



What is the approximate molal concentration of the solute pure ether? Kb is 2.02, normal boiling point is 37 degrees Celsius.

Homework Equations



ΔTb= Kb * m

ΔTb is the change in boiling point temp.
Kb for ether is 2.02
m is the molal concentration which I am trying to find.
37 celsius is the normal boiling point

The Attempt at a Solution

ΔTb/Kb = m

i tried 37 degrees divided by (Kb value 2.02), and i also tried 137/2.02 -> i added 100 degrees because the boiling point elevation thing. Both answers were wrong

You need to know boiling point of your mixture, without it you will be not able to calculate bp elevation.
