How do mixtures affect boiling point?

Answer 1

The boiling point of a mixture is affected by the composition of the mixture, specifically by the presence of solutes dissolved in a solvent. Adding solutes to a solvent typically raises the boiling point of the mixture compared to the pure solvent. This phenomenon is known as boiling point elevation and is a colligative property. The extent of boiling point elevation depends on the concentration of the solute particles in the solution.

mixtures increase the boiling point of a substance for example salt water boils at a higher temperature than pure water.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
