Step 1. Boiling point elevation is found experimentally to be directly proportional to molality: ΔTb∝m\Delta T_b \propto m.

Step 2. Introducing the proportionality constant KbK_b (the ebullioscopic/molal elevation constant, a property of the solvent) gives the equation ΔTb=Kbm\Delta T_b = K_b m.

✓Final answer

ΔTb=Kbm\Delta T_b = K_b m, where KbK_b is the molal elevation (ebullioscopic) constant of the solvent and m is the solution's molality.
