Question

The thermodynamic definition of the ebullioscopic constant ($K_b$) shows that it is fundamentally dependent upon which specific property of the system?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

$K_b$ is a constant unique to every solvent. The thermodynamic equation $K_b = \frac{R (T^0_b)^2 M}{1000 \Delta H_{vap}}$ proves it depends entirely on the boiling point, molar mass, and enthalpy of vaporization of the *pure solvent*, completely independent of the solute.
