Francis Raoult discovered the change in boiling points of solutions varies by the number of particles in the solution. Scholars apply the concept to determine the molality of a solution based on the change in boiling point. They use an unknown solid and ethanol to calculate moles of solute and determine the mystery solid.

Instructional Ideas
- Have different pupils test different solids and compare results
Classroom Considerations
- Follow all safety instructions, as ethanol is flammable and experimenters must keep hot plates at a level six or below
- Relies on prior knowledge of solutes, solvents, moles, and boiling points
Pros
- Includes solving for both experimental error and theoretical values
- Provides safety tips in full capitals throughout the experiment's instructions
Cons
- None
