Has anyone ever heard of boiling point elevation that involves an activity coefficient?
∆Tb = kb i m γ
"where ∆Tb is the boiling-point elevation, kb is the boiling-point elevation constant, i is the ionizability constant, m is the molality of the solution, and γ is the activity coefficient of the solute."
This was on TBR CBT 5 and I was unsure how to analyze this.
Based on one of the answers, it states that "The lowest value for γ belongs to the compound that has the least interaction with water."
How were we supposed to know this earlier other than making an assumption?
