Question

A sample of water under study was found to boil at 102 degree Celsius at normal temperature and pressure. Is water is pure? Will this water freeze at 0 degree Celsius? Comment

Answer 1

We know that the boiling point of pure water is 100 degree celcius . Thus if a sample of water at normal temperature and pressure boils at 102 degree celcius , then it is not pure. Also, since the given sample is not pure, therefore it will not freeze at 0 degree celcius (freezing point of pure water) but at a lower temperature.
