How would a solute affect the boiling point of water?

The boiling point will be the same as the freezing point.

The water will not boil.

The water will boil at a higher temperature.

The water will boil at a lower temperature.

Respuesta :

The answer is C. The water will boil at a higher temperature. This is because the solute is an impurity that raises the boiling point and lowers the melting point of water.

Answer: c.)

Explanation: A solute raises the boiling point of water. A solution with any solvent and non-volatile solute has a higher boiling point and a lower freezing point than the pure solvent. The amount by which the boiling point increases depends on the concentration of particles but not on the identity of the solute.
