    Wondering how you calculate boiling point elevation?

    For the following:
    1.000 mol/kg sucrose (non-ionic)
    0.500 mol/kg NaCl
    5.000 mol/kg CaCl2

    How do you calculate:
    1. the total molality of particles in solution
    2. the freezing point depression (Kf = 1.86 °C . kg/mol)
    3. the boiling point elevation (Kb = 0.51 °C . kg/mol)

    So confused..any help would be appreciated!

    to calculate boiling point elevation, use the formula delta Tb = iKb X m
    where delta Tb is the boiling point elevation(temp difference) i is the bond number and m is the molality (no of moles. / kg of solvant). kb is a constant.
    sucrose has covalent bonds therefore i = 1
    moles / kg is molality therefore m = 1
    plug these values into the equation.

    NaCl has ionic bonds but only one therefore i =1
    CaCl2 has two ionic bonds therefore i = 2
