When the liquid as a constant boiling point is it pure or not pure?

All pure liquids, such as water, H20, have constant boiling points at certain atmospheric pressures, which is helpful in determining the identity of an unknown liquid. Some liquids have constant boiling points that are not pure, such as nail polish remover, or ethyl acetate. Since it is a mixture of more than one pure liquid, it is not a pure liquid itself, but if always mixed in the same ratios, will have a constant boiling point.

∙ 9y agoAll pure liquids have a constant boiling point. Some non-pure liquids also have a constant boiling point. This means that one cannot predict whether or not a liquid is pure simply by looking at characteristics of boiling points.

If sample of a liquid was boiled for twelve minutes During that time the boiling point remained constant and the volume was reduced to half Is the liquid a pure substance?
yes
Why is the temp of boiling pure acetone constant?
Acetone has a constant boiling point because it is an azeotrope. Azeotropes are mixtures of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation. They are also called constant boiling mixtures.
What temp will alcohol change from liquid into gas?
The boiling point of pure ethanol is 78,37 0C.
What can you notice about the temperature of sea water during boiling?
The boiling point of sea water is higher compared with pure water. Temperature remain constant during boiling.
What happens to the boiling point of a solution as the concentraion increases?
Boiling-point elevation describes the phenomenon that the boiling point of a liquid (a solvent) will be higher when another compound is added, meaning that a solution has a higher boiling point than a pure solvent. This happens whenever a non-volatile solute, such as a salt, is added to a pure solvent, such as water. The boiling point can be measured accurately using an ebullioscope.
What is the term used to describe the constant temperature at which a pure liquid changes to a vapour?
Boiling point
What is the term used to describe the constant temperature at which a pure liquid changes to vapour?
Boiling point
The difference between the boiling point of a liquid in pure state and the boiling point of the liquid in solution?
Boiling Point Elevation
If sample of a liquid was boiled for twelve minutes During that time the boiling point remained constant and the volume was reduced to half Is the liquid a pure substance?
yes
How does pressure and impurities affects boiling point?
Boiling is used to describe a change of state of a pure liquid to vapour phase. The particular temperature at which this change of state occurs is defined as the boiling point of that specific liquid. Now the question is will addition of impurities have any effect on the boiling point of water. The addition of impurities such as salt or sugar to pure water raises its boiling point.
What is liquid's boiling point?
Boiling point is the temperature in which a substance in a liquid state turns to a gas state. In a pure substance (an element or 1 compound) that temperature is a unique property. For example, pure water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. Methanol has a boiling point of 64.7 degrees Celsius. In pure substances the temperature time graph makes a plateau. The boiling point is the same as the condensation point (where a gas turns into a liquid) for that substance.

What test can differentiate solution and a pure liquid?
Evaporation and/or condensation will separate out the components of a solution but will not be able to separate the pure liquid into anything.
Does adding more heat to a bowl of water raise the boiling point?
No, the boiling point of the pure water remain constant at 100 0C, of course at standard pressure.
Why is the temp of boiling pure acetone constant?
Acetone has a constant boiling point because it is an azeotrope. Azeotropes are mixtures of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation. They are also called constant boiling mixtures.
A pure substance boils only at a certain temperature?
Each liquid boils at a different temperature, but the temperature it boils at is called the Boiling Point. For example, the boiling point of water is 212 Fahrenheit.This specific temprature is dependant on the pressureon the liquid at that time, as an example at ahigher temperatures the boiling point is higher.
Why is the boiling point of a pure liquid usually reported along with the pressure at which the boiling point was measured?
Because the pressure could affect the temperature at which the water boils
