Where did I mess up? Problem: calculate the boiling point of a soultion made by dissolving 1.00g of glycerin (c3h8O3) in 54.0g of water:
my steps:
m=(mol solute/kg solvent)=(.011/.054)=0.204
(T-X)=m*K
100-X=0.204m*(0.513k/m)
X=99.9=boiling point of solution

or is it correct?

Welcome to OpenStudy. I think it might be easier if you solve the right side to be delta T and then just add it ti 100.
