Solution

Answer:

To confirm that a colourless liquid given to us is pure water we have to boil it.

As we know the boiling point and freezing point of the water are 100°Cor 373K and 0°Cor 273Kat one atmosphere of pressure.

If any impurities are present in water it will change the boiling point of water and it will not boil at sharp100°C.

Conclusion:

So, to confirm that a colourless liquid given to us is pure water we have to boil it.

If its boiling point is sharp 100°C means it is pure water and no impurities are present.
