Question

How does the presence of dissolved solids affect the boiling point of water?

Answer 1

• The boiling point of water is 100^oC.
• The boiling point of water increases due to the presence of dissolved impurities in it.
• Example- Tap water contains dissolved solids but distilled water does not contain any dissolved solids in it so the boiling point of tap water is more in comparison to distilled water.
