Hi,
I'm looking at number 11 in BR Chemistry Chapter 4.
The question is basically comparing the boiling point of 0.1M HCL in water and 0.1M HCLO in water. Since HCL adds the Cl- ion to solution, delta t = imk would predict that the boiling point is elevated. However, I also thought that HCLO would be able to hydrogen bond to the water, which would elevate its boiling point.
The answer given is that HCL has a higher boiling point. Can someone explain the magnitudes by which each is changing the boiling point or if I'm getting confused?
