Question
Define molal elevation constant or ebullioscopic constant.

Answer

Molal elevation constant is defined as increase in boiling point of the solvent, when one mole of solute is dissolved in $1000g$ of solvent. The elevation is proportional to the number of particles dissolved and given by $\Delta T_b= K _{ b }$ m,where m is the molal concentration of solute. The constant $K_b$ is the ebullioscopic constant of the solvent.
