Why can volatile impurity increase the boiling point of a substance?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Impurities dissolved in a liquid will increase the boiling point because they form chemical bonds with the solvent in which they are dissolved, which have to be broken by the addition of heat energy before the liquid can boil. In other words, they are like cement, holding the material together in liquid form.

What is volatile impurity?
A non volatile impurity does not have a tendency to form a vapor at the temperature of the substance it is mixed with. For example, adding salt to boiling water does not form a vapor of any sort.
Does sugar affect the boiling point of water?
Adding sugar to boiling water it will increase the boiling temperature very slightly
How can the boiling point of a liquid be raised without adding soluble impurity?
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, or the pressure above the liquid. So, to increase the boiling point without adding a solute, one can increase the pressure above the liquid.
Which is more volatile nitrogen oxygen or argon?
Nitrogen is more volatile as it has a lower boiling point, then argon and then oxygen.
What is the boiling point of pure water Mark 1?
boiling is caused by impurities in the water. . pure water wont boil until it comes in contact with an impurity like what is found in regular tap water. it can also boil explosively on contact of such an impurity
Can a volatile impurity increase the boiling point of a substance?
See this link for an explanation.
What happens to the melting and boiling point of a substance if it contains impurity?
If the impurity has a higher boiling point then the boiling point of the mixture will also be slightly higher, and vice versa.
What is volatile impurity?
A non volatile impurity does not have a tendency to form a vapor at the temperature of the substance it is mixed with. For example, adding salt to boiling water does not form a vapor of any sort.
What is the effect of soluble volatile substance on the boiling point of a water solution?
A soluble volatile substance will lower the boiling point of a solution. The volatile substance will boil at a lower temperature than the water component, thus causing the solution to boil at a lower temperature.
How can we use the boiling point of a liquid to decide if the liquid is pure?
on adding non-voatile substance there in an increase in bp of substance...for instance water with a non-volatile solute will h boiling point greater than 373K
How does impurities affect the boiling point of liquid?
Let's say substance A is the substance and substance B is the impurity. The boiling point of the mixture would be somewhere between that of A and B, depending on the amount of impurities in the mixture.
What is the effect of a soluble and nonvolatile impurity on the boiling point of a liquid?
The presence of a non-volatile solute in a solution increases its boiling point. The amount of the elevation of the boiling point depends only on the number of molecules of solute present, and not on their identity. See the article entitled "Boiling-point elevation" on Wikipedia for the maths involved.
How does one increase the melting or boiling point of a substance?
Add impurities (salt and others) to the substance.
Does sugar affect the boiling point of water?
Adding sugar to boiling water it will increase the boiling temperature very slightly
How can the boiling point of a liquid be raised without adding soluble impurity?

What is the boiling point of food coloring?
If the food coloring is water-based, it would be slightly above or below the boiling point of water (100 degrees Celsius) depending on the effect of the coloring substance on the water's boiling properties. Some colorings might be oil based, in which case their boiling point would be closer to 150-200 degrees Celsius.
How do you determine less volatile and more volatile?
The higher the boiling point, the less volatile. And vice versa.
