Question on: JAMB Physics - 2021
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 point
Which of the above combinations are peculiarities of the boiling point of a liquid?
A
I, II and III only
B
I, II, III, and IV
C
I, II, and IV
D
II, III, and IV
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
