TaigaNonvolatile solutes are substances that do not evaporate or vaporize easily, therefore remaining in a solution even after the solvent has evaporated. These solutes do not affect the vapor pressure of the solution and do not participate in the vapor phase when the solution is heated.

Do other things other than salt increase water's boiling temperature?
Yes, most nonvolatile solutes such as sugar or glycerin will increase water's boiling point.
What are facts about nonvolatile?
Nonvolatile memory retains data even when power is cut off, like in ROM chips. Nonvolatile storage devices can be slower than volatile ones as they often use technologies such as flash memory. This type of memory is commonly used in devices like USB drives and solid-state drives.
Is glucose volatile or nonvolatile?
Glucose is nonvolatile because it does not easily vaporize at room temperature and pressure. It remains in the liquid form unless heated to a high temperature where it can undergo thermal decomposition.
Explain why vapor pressure is reduced in a solution with a nonvolatile solute?
Vapor pressure is reduced in a solution with a nonvolatile solute because the solute molecules take up space on the surface of the liquid, making it more difficult for solvent molecules to escape into the vapor phase. This reduces the number of solvent molecules that can evaporate, lowering the vapor pressure of the solution compared to the pure solvent.
What a solvent for both polar and nonpolar solutes?
Acetone is a good solvent for both polar and nonpolar solutes due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with polar solutes and dissolve nonpolar solutes through dispersion forces.
