Elevation in boiling point: The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. i.e. 760 mm of Hg.
When a non-volatile solute is dissolved in a pure solvent, its vapor pressure is decreased. The difference of boiling points of the solution and pure solvent is called elevation in boiling point.
So, the boiling point of the solution is higher than the boiling point of the pure solvent.
