Methanol (CH3OH) is an organic solvent with a boiling point of 64.5°C. How many grams of mercury(II) bromide (HgBr2, MM = 360.4) must be dissolved in 542.6 of methanol if the solution has a boiling point of 66.0? The Kb for methanol is 0.86 °C/molal. Assume ideal behavior. (+6 points for submitted work) Your Answer: Answer units​

Answer:

What is the formula for elevation in boiling point?

Explanation:

The elevation in boiling point (ΔTb) is proportional to the concentration of the solute in the solution. It can be calculated via the following equation. Where, i is the Van't Hoff factor.
