Question

When some amount of salt is dissolved in plenty of water, which statement is most likely to be correct about the resulting solution?

• A. The solution becomes less concentrated on boiling for a long time
• B. The boiling point of solution decreases on boiling for a long time
• C. The boiling point of solution is higher than pure water
• D. The boiling point of solution is lower than pure water

Answer 1

The correct option is C

The boiling point of solution is higher than pure water

Salt increases the boiling point of the solution, salt has much higher boiling point than water. Thishappens because when salt is added to water,salt ions attract water molecules helping them to be in liquid phase at higher temperature.
