Options:
  • A $0.1 \mathrm{~m}$
  • B $0.01 \mathrm{~m}$
  • C $0.001 \mathrm{~m}$
  • D $1.0 \mathrm{~m}$

The correct answer is: $0.1 \mathrm{~m}$
$\Delta T_b=K_b \cdot m$
$$
T_b-T_b^{\circ}=K_b \cdot m
$$
where, $K_b=$ molal elevation constant $m=$ molality
$$
\begin{aligned}
(100.052-100.00) & =(0.52)(m) \\
0.052 & =0.52 \times m \\
m & =0.1
\end{aligned}
$$
