Even I know that if you add 100 + 6.7, you don't get 100.67. Rethink.

What is the boiling point of an aqueous solution that freezes at -6.7 degress C. Please help.
I feel ed because it seems like its something real easy but Im still not getting it.
I did 100 + 6.7 and got 100.67 and are you sayin to divide 1.86 by .52 which is 3.576. the book says the answer is 101.8 im lost

In addition you don't give enough information about the 1.86 and 0.52 to help. Apparently some tutor gave you the procedure for solving the problem and you didn't understand. However, you have posted just piece-meal info and that isn't enough to help. I suggest you repost the ENTIRE problem along with the tutor's reply, then tell us what you don't understand. We can go from there.
what is the boiling point of an aqueous solution that freezes at
-67 degrees C?
I was given this answer
What is 100+6.7 (1.86/.52) ?
so 100+6.7 = 106.7
1.86/.52 = 3.58
is the .52 the Kb
I got the answer in the book I just don't understand how they got to it.

Yes, undoubtedly the 0.52 is Kb, and I assume you intended to write 6.7 and not 67, but I think the Kf/Kb should be Kb/Kf. Let's do it another way.
delta T = Kf*m
6.7 = 1.86m and m = 6.7/1.86 = 3.6m
Then delta T = Kb*m
100 + Kb*m = 100 + (0.52*3.6) = 100 + 1.87 = or about 102 C. You can clean up the number of significant figures.
delta T = Kf*m
6.7 = 1.86m and m = 6.7/1.86 = 3.6m
Then delta T = Kb*m
100 + Kb*m = 100 + (0.52*3.6) = 100 + 1.87 = or about 102 C. You can clean up the number of significant figures.
I thank you very much, I believe I really need to see it step by step to understand it. Another thing what did the 100+6.7 have to do with the equation. Also changing the -6.7C to 6.7C is this something that you would do to any boiling or freezing problem
