Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Ture/False:Adding solutes can change the boiling point of a solution
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This is true for any solute added to a solvent; the boiling point will be higher than the boiling point of the pure solvent (without the solute). In other words, when anything is dissolved in water, the solution will boil at a higher temperature than pure water would.

Detailed explanation-2: -The boiling point of the solvent above a solution changes as the concentration of the solute in the solution changes (but it does not depend on the identity of either the solvent or the solute(s) particles (kind, size or charge) in the solution).

Detailed explanation-3: -Complete answer: A liquid boils when its vapor pressure becomes equal to atmospheric pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pure substances have true boiling points and freezing points, but solutions do not. For example, pure water has a boiling point of 100 °C and a freezing point of 0 °C.
