Question

Salt is added to a sample of water. Which of the following is is true.A. The boiling point will increase and the freezing point will decrease B. The boiling point will increase and the freezing point will increase C. The boy pony will decrease and the freezing point will increase D. The block point will decrease and the freezing point will decrease

Answer 1

When salt is added to water, what happens is some phenomena studied in Colligative properties, which will tell us that if salt is added, the boiling point and freezing point will have slight changes. Boiling point will go through a phenomenon called Boiling point elevation, which even though the elevation is not much, there is still a slight elevation. The freezing point will go through Freezing point depression, which is a slight decrease of the freezing point of water. Therefore the best answer will be letter A
