I'm not sure this answers why, but I'll try. As water dissolves matter, the solution's vapor pressure lowers. It cannot boil (evaporate) unless its vapor pressure equals that of the atmosphere. Since the vapor pressure reduces as the solution dissolves more solute (that which is dissolves), the temperature must increase to increase the vapor pressure of the solution. When the vapor pressure reaches that of the atmosphere, the solution begins to boil. Therefore, the boiling occurs at a higher temperature.

I'm not completely sure i think it may have to do with the viscosity, and most probably the molecular structure

Due to pressure in the air surrounding the water. The higher the altitude of the water is, the less pressure is acting on the water from the surrounding air.

How do the boiling and freezing points between the Fahrenheit and celsius?

Boiling points and melting points differ for different elements and compounds. However, if water is considered, the freezing point is 0 degree Celsius which is 32 degree Fahrenheit. Boiling point is 100 degree Celsius which is 212 degree Fahrenheit.


Do metalloids have high boiling points?

Very high. For example, sodium (Na) has a boiling point of 883 degrees C, and iron has a boiling point of 2750.0 degrees C, and gold has a boiling point of 2600 degrees C. You can probably find a Period Table that includes the boiling points of all the elements and much more information.


What degree is boiling point?

Boiling points of elements and compounds vary, as do the scale units you are using. It depends on the fluid. For water it is 100 degrees centigrade, 212 degrees fahrenheit. Helium has the lowest known boiling point, -268.9° C (-452° F), tungsten is thought to have the highest, about 5900° C (10,650° F), at the atmospheric pressure at sea level.
