Question

Some amount of common salt is dissolved in a beaker full of water. How does this affect the boiling point of water?

Answer 1

The boiling point of water is the temperature at which liquid water is converted into water vapour.

When soluble impurities like salt are added to water, they form bond with water. So, more amount of energy is required to break these bonds.

Hence, the boiling point of water will increase with the addition of salt.
