STANDARD Chemistry Colligative Properties MCQ Question
2 g of sugar is added to one litre of water to give sugar solution. What is the effect of addition of sugar on the boiling point and freezing point of water?
Both boiling point and freezing point increase.
Both boiling point and freezing point decrease.
Boiling point increases and freezing point decreases.
Boiling point decreases and freezing point increases.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Adding a solute like sugar to water increases the boiling point and decreases the freezing point due to colligative properties. This is known as boiling point elevation and freezing point depression.
