List of boiling constants of solvents
Encyclopedia
| Solvent | Boiling Point (°C) | Kb Ebullioscopic constant In thermodynamics, the ebullioscopic constant, Kb, allows one to relate molality to boiling point elevation. It is the ratio of the latter to the former:\Delta T = i\cdot K_b \cdot mi is the Vant Hoff factor... (°C/(mol kg-1)) |
Freezing Point (°C) | Kf Cryoscopic constant In thermodynamics, the cryoscopic constant, Kf, allows one to relate molality to freezing point depression. It is the ratio of the latter to the former:\triangle T_f = K_f \cdot m \cdot i... (°C/(mol kg-1)) |
