Adding salt to water lowers the pressure of the water. To reach boiling point the pressure of the liquid needs to equal the pressure of the atmosphere. A lower pressure of the liquid therefore, requires a higher boiling point.

Will LiCl have a higher boiling point than water?

No, LiCl (Lithium chloride) will not have a higher boiling point than water. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, whereas the boiling point of LiCl is significantly higher at 1382 degrees Celsius.


Is it possible for distilled water in liquid form reach a temperature of 105 degrees Celsius. why or why not?

No, distilled water cannot exceed a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure because it will boil and turn into steam. Temperatures above this point indicate the water is transitioning from a liquid to a gaseous state.


Is the boiling point of rainwater and sea water same?

No. Sea water has a higher boiling point than rain water. Sea water contains a higher concentration of dissolved solutes than rain water, which is fresh water. The higher concentration of dissolved solutes in sea water causes it to have a higher boiling point.


Why boiling point of milk is greater than water?

The boiling point of milk is higher than water because milk is a mixture of water, fats, proteins, and sugars. These additional components in milk raise its boiling point compared to pure water. Additionally, milk has a higher specific heat capacity than water, which means it takes more energy to raise its temperature to the boiling point.


Which is a better solvent for boiling point elevation ethanol or water?

Ethanol is a better solvent for boiling point elevation compared to water. This is because ethanol has a higher boiling point than water. When a solute is added to ethanol, it will raise the boiling point of the solution more significantly than if the same solute were added to water.

What is the boiling point of distilled water?

The boiling point of distilled water seems to be 100 degrees celcius, based on the previous web sites I have seen. Tap water has more minerals, so it has a higher boiling point- 101 degrees Celsius. Salt water does not have a specific boiling point because the temp. is based on how mush salt there is. more salt=higher temp.I hope this helped because I am doing a paper on this and I have to know my stuff!

What state of distilled water at 110c?

Distilled water at 110°C is in a liquid state. As water reaches its boiling point at 100°C, it will be boiling and transitioning into vapor at 110°C.


Will LiCl have a higher boiling point than water?

No, LiCl (Lithium chloride) will not have a higher boiling point than water. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, whereas the boiling point of LiCl is significantly higher at 1382 degrees Celsius.


What can change the boiling point of water?

The boiling point of water can be affected by changes in atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the boiling point of water is lower. Conversely, at lower altitudes with higher atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is higher.


What has a higher boiling point alcohol or water?

Water has a higher boiling point that alcohol (ethanol). The main reason for this is because water has stronger intermolecular forces holding the molecules together.


What Fahrenheit temperature is boiling point for water?

For pure (distilled/deionized) water at sea level (standard pressure of 1 atmosphere), the boiling point is 212 degrees F.


A student measures the boiling point of rainwater and sea water.Which has the higher boiling point?

Sea water has higher boiling point,as it contains sodium chloride


The normal boiling point of chloroform which has a higher vapor pressure than water at 100 degrees celsius is?

Chloroform has a normal boiling point of 61.2 degrees Celsius, which is lower than the boiling point of water. This means that chloroform will have a higher vapor pressure than water at 100 degrees Celsius, where water is at its boiling point but chloroform is not.


Which substance would have a higher boiling point sodium chloride or water?

Sodium chloride has a higher boiling point.


What factor besides the temperature affects the boiling point of water?

Air pressure also affects the boiling point of water. The higher the air pressure, the higher the boiling point.
