The answer is #0.56^@C#.

Boiling-point elevation is modeled by this equation

#DeltaT_b = k_b * m#, where

#DeltaT_b# - represents the boiling-point elevation;
#k_b# - represents water's ebullioscopic constant;
#m# - represents the solution's molality;

SInce we are dealing with water, which has a density of #rho = 1.0(kg)/L#, the mass of the solvent will be

#m_(water) = rho_(water) * V = 1.0 (kg)/L * 2.0L = 2.0 kg#

So, the solution's molality wil be

#m = (2.1 mol es)/(2.0 kg) = 1.1m#

Therefore, the boiling-point elevation will be

#DeltaT_b = 0.51^@C/m * 1.1m = 0.56^@C#
