Question

Why is boiling point of distilled water lower than tap water?

Answer 1

the solute stays in the liquid, there is less room for it to find various different states as the liquid boils away. When not so many states are available, we say that the "entropy" is reduced. The basic rule that tells us what will happen is that nature always heads toward an increase in entropy. So having solutes in there goes against boiling, which doesn't then occur until the temperature is higher. At the higher temperature it turns out that boiling still increases net entropy.that is y boiling point of distilled water is lower than tap water.
