Question
Rikki has a sample of water but he is not sure if it is pure or not. He heats the water until it begins to boil. He records the temperature which is 103°C. Is this water pure?noyes
Solution
No, the water is not pure. Pure water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water is boiling at 103°C, it means that there are impurities present in the water which are raising its boiling point.
