Detailed Solution

CuCl2 is an electrolyte, which ionises in solution as follows 
                                              CuCl2 Cu2++2Cl- At t=0                   1 mol            0           0 After ionisation    (1-α)mol    α mol   2α mol
Thus, number of particles after ionisation 
                =1-α+α+2α=1+2α
van't Hoff factor
      i=number of particles after ionisationnumber of particles before ionisation
or i=1+2α1                     on 100% ionisation α=1      =1+2×11=3
The elevation in boiling point (when colligative property is abnormal)
          Tb=i×Kb×m    m-molality of solution  Molality of CuCl2 solution
                               =Weight of CuCl2 (in gram)molecular weight of CuCl2Weight of water (solvent) in kg =13.4413.441=0.1 m Thus, Tb=3×0.52×0.1-0.156-0.16oC
