Question

If salt is dissolved in water, state its effect on :

Boiling point of water

Answer 1

• The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure of the liquid and the liquid changes into vapor is called the boiling point of the liquid.
• The boiling point of water is 100$°$C.
• When salt is dissolved in water, it will increase the boiling point of water because the soluble salts absorb the heat supplied to boil the water causing the water to take in more heat in order to get boiled.
• Thus, water will boil slowly by increasing the boiling point of water.
