I. A liquid boils when its saturated vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure
II. Dissolved substances in pure water lead to an increase in the boiling point.
III. When the external pressure is increased, the boiling point increases.
IV. Dissolved substances in pure water decreases the boiling pointÂ
Which of the above combinations are peculiarities of the boiling point of a liquid?
Correct Option:
A
The boiling point of a liquid depends on temperature, atmospheric pressure, and the vapour pressure of the liquid. Boiling begins when the atmospheric pressure is equal to the vapor pressure of the liquid.
