Which solution has the highest boiling point?

A Pure water

B 1.0 M NaCl (aq)

C 0.5 M NaCl (aq)

D 0.5 M glucose (aq)

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Boiling point elevation is a colligative property. NaCl dissociates into 2 ions, so 1.0 M NaCl gives the greatest effect.

💡 Why is B) the correct answer?

The correct answer to the question "Which solution has the highest boiling point?" is Option B: 1.0 M NaCl (aq).

The other options — A) Pure water, C) 0.5 M NaCl (aq), D) 0.5 M glucose (aq) — are incorrect for this Everyday Science question. As explained above: Boiling point elevation is a colligative property. NaCl dissociates into 2 ions, so 1.0 M NaCl gives the greatest effect.
