Question

1. mario uses a hot plate to heat a beaker of 50ml of water. he used a thermometer to measure the temperature of the water. the water in the beaker began to boil when it reached the temperature of 100°c. if mario completes the same experiment with 25ml of water, what would happen to the boiling point? a) the water will not reach a boil. b) the boiling point of water will increase. c) the boiling point of water will decrease. d) the boiling point of water will stay the same.

Explanation:

The boiling point of a pure substance like water at a given pressure is a characteristic property and does not depend on the volume of the substance. At standard atmospheric pressure, water boils at 100°C regardless of whether there is 50mL or 25mL of it.

Answer:

d) The boiling point of water will stay the same.
