Question

The temperature at boiling was 100.5 degrees * C . What can be said about the water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore the temperature of the liquid remains constant during boiling. The answer is the water reaches its boiling point temperature and stays there. ... If you boil water at a higher pressure (below sea level, for example), the boiling point would be higher than 100 °C .

Explanation:

Answer 2

This is an example of boiling point elevation; the boiling point is raised by the presence of a dissolved non-volatile substance. The amount of the temperature increase is given by the formula dT = K*b where K is the Ebullioscopic constant (0.512 C kg/mole for water) and b is the molality of the solution. It doesn’t matter what the solute is, except that some solutes dissociate in the solvent and effectively create a more concentrated solution. I dispute the value for boiling point of pure water, that should actually be 100.0 C, so dT is 1.5 C, and b is 1.5 C/0.512 C kg/mole or 2.9 mole solute/kg of water. If the solute is sucrose, that is 2.9 mole sucrose/kg water. If it is sodium chloride that is 1.45 mole Na and 1.45 mole Cl dissolved in a kg of water.
