Answer 2

The mean of the tap water boiling point is about 2 degrees Celsius less than the mean of the salt water temperature.

Explanation:

Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid boils or changes from liquid form to gaseous form. Water has a boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius.

Boiling point of water depends on atmospheric pressure which changes according to the height above sea level of a place.

Boiling point can also change depending on the purity of water.Water that has impurities such as salt will have a slightly higher boiling temperature.

The mean of the tap water boiling point is about 2 degrees Celsius less than the mean of the salt water temperature.
