Correct answer: 116

  1. Use elevation in boiling point

For a solution, ΔTb=Kb∑im\Delta T_b = K_b \sum i mΔTb​=Kb​∑im where iii is the van't Hoff factor and mmm is molality.

Since ionization is 100%100\%100%:

  • For NaCl\mathrm{NaCl}NaCl: i=2i=2i=2
  • For MgCl2\mathrm{MgCl_2}MgCl2​: i=3i=3i=3

  1. Assume 100 g of sea water

Given composition by mass of solution:

  • 29.25% NaCl⇒29.25 g29.25\%\ \mathrm{NaCl} \Rightarrow 29.25\,\text{g}29.25% NaCl⇒29.25g
  • 19% MgCl2⇒19 g19\%\ \mathrm{MgCl_2} \Rightarrow 19\,\text{g}19% MgCl2​⇒19g

So mass of water: 100−29.25−19=51.75 g=0.05175 kg100 - 29.25 - 19 = 51.75\,\text{g} = 0.05175\,\text{kg}100−29.25−19=51.75g=0.05175kg


  1. Moles of solutes

For NaCl\mathrm{NaCl}NaCl: nNaCl=29.2558.5=0.5 moln_{\mathrm{NaCl}}=\frac{29.25}{58.5}=0.5\,\text{mol}nNaCl​=58.529.25​=0.5mol

For MgCl2\mathrm{MgCl_2}MgCl2​: nMgCl2=1995=0.2 moln_{\mathrm{MgCl_2}}=\frac{19}{95}=0.2\,\text{mol}nMgCl2​​=9519​=0.2mol


  1. Calculate effective molality contribution

Using ∑in\sum i n∑in first: in for NaCl=2×0.5=1.0i n \text{ for NaCl} = 2 \times 0.5 = 1.0in for NaCl=2×0.5=1.0 in for MgCl2=3×0.2=0.6i n \text{ for MgCl}_2 = 3 \times 0.2 = 0.6in for MgCl2​=3×0.2=0.6

Total effective moles of particles: 1.0+0.6=1.61.0 + 0.6 = 1.61.0+0.6=1.6

Now effective molality: meff=1.60.05175≈30.92 mol kg−1m_{\text{eff}} = \frac{1.6}{0.05175} \approx 30.92\,\text{mol kg}^{-1}meff​=0.051751.6​≈30.92mol kg−1


  1. Boiling point elevation

ΔTb=0.52×30.92≈16.08 K\Delta T_b = 0.52 \times 30.92 \approx 16.08\,\text{K}ΔTb​=0.52×30.92≈16.08K

So normal boiling point of sea water: 100+16.08=116.08∘C100 + 16.08 = 116.08^\circ\text{C}100+16.08=116.08∘C

Nearest integer: 116\boxed{116}116​


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Derived answer = 116116116

Stored correct answer = 116116116

Hence, they agree.
