Question

Laura has three beakers. Each contains 200 cm3 of a colourless liquid. Suggest how Laura could nd out which beakers contain pure water, and which contain solutions.

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A pure liquid has a sharp boiling point. Now we know that the boiling point of water is 100°C.

If Laura begins to heat each liquid with a thermometer inserted into each liquid, the liquid that boils at exactly 100°C is pure water while the rest are solutions.
