Expression of elevation in boiling point:

ΔTb=iKbm
Given that:

ΔTbX>ΔTbY

Kb is the constant and it is same because solvent is the same. Value of m is also same. Hence, the only change in Tb value is due to the value of i (Van't Hoff factor).

iX>iY

This indicates that X undergoes dissociation in water.
