wolfe8 · Answer

Recall that ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points compared to organic compounds.

That should get you started. Welcome to OpenStudy.

aaronq · Answer

This has to do with colligative properties, which are independent of the nature of the solute.

The more particles (e.g. ions, molecules) present (signified by the van't hoff constant, $i$), the higher the deviation from the normal boiling temperature

wolfe8 · Answer

Or that. Lol.
