Question

imagine a beaker of pure water and another beaker containing water with some NaCl are both kept at 80 degrees C and 1 atm pressure. Which of the following statements is correct if the atmospheric pressure is changed? Please Explain.

a) as the atmospheric pressure is slowly increased, first the beaker with the pure water will boil, them the beaker with the salt.

b) As the atmospheric pressure is slowly increased, first the beaker containing the water and salt will boil, then the beaker with the pure water

c) As the atmospheric pressure is slowly decreased, first the beaker with the pure water will boil, then the beaker with the salt.

d) As the atmospheric pressure is slowly decreased, first the beaker containing water and salt will boil then the beaker with the pure water.

Explanation / Answer

option b is correct. because as the atmospheric pressure is increassed, the collisions between the particles will get increased and boiling of salt solution increasesd
