Mario uses a hot plate to heat a beaker of 50mL of water. He used a thermometer to measure the temperature of the water. The water in the beaker began to boil when it reached the temperature of 100 C. If Mario completes the same experiment with 25mL of water, what would happen to the boiling point?

Answer:

nothing

Step-by-step explanation:

as long as he's using pure water, there will be no change to the boling temperature. boiling point depends on the purity of the substance, not volume. so the temperature at which mario's water boils remains 100C.
