Hi..
If I added sugar ( non-volatile and non-electrolyte ) to water , this will result in a depression in the freezing point to the solvent in the solution ( less than 0 C to water ).For the boiling point , it would raise or elevate it.
My question is , what will happen if I added something volatile and electrolyte to water ?, like ethanol for instance.
It may be incorrect to say fuming sulphuric acid is more volatile than water, but mixing the two raises the boiling point of both well above 212 f = 100 c, so there may be important exceptions. Neil
