(N/A) The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapour pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure $(1.013 \ bar)$.
When a non-volatile solute is added to a pure solvent,the vapour pressure of the resulting solution decreases compared to the pure solvent at the same temperature.
Because the vapour pressure of the solution is lower,it must be heated to a higher temperature to reach the atmospheric pressure $(1.013 \ bar)$.
This increase in the boiling point of the solution compared to the pure solvent is known as the elevation in boiling point,denoted by $\Delta T_b$.
