When a non-volatile solute is dissolved in a volatile solvent, the vapour pressure of the solution is lowered, which raises its boiling point (the solution must be heated to a higher temperature before its vapour pressure equals atmospheric pressure). Experimentally, for dilute solutions, the elevation in boiling point is directly proportional to the molal concentration (, moles of solute per kg of solvent) of the solution:
where is the molal elevation constant (ebullioscopic constant) of the solvent, a solvent-specific constant.
Molality , where = mass of solute, = molar mass of solute (unknown), = mass of solvent in grams.
