What is the boiling point elevation formula? Chemistry Solutions Colligative Properties 1 Answer Sayani R. Oct 19, 2014 #Delta# #T_b#= #k_b# * m This is the basic formula. #Delta##T_b# stands for the change in boiling point, i.e. , if initially the boiling point was #T_1# and the final boiling point #T_2# ,then #Delta##T_b#= #T_2# - #T_1#. #k_b# is known as the ebullioscopic constant. *m * stands for molality.
