Seawater contains about 3.5% by mass dis- solved solids. As a rough approximation, assume that the dissolved solids are predominantly NaCl(aq) [that is, 3.5 grams of NaCl(aq) in 96.5 grams of H2O(l )] and estimate the normal boiling point of seawater.

Question

Seawater contains about 3.5% by mass dis- solved solids. As a rough approximation, assume that the dissolved solids are predominantly NaCl(aq) [that is, 3.5 grams of NaCl(aq) in 96.5 grams of H2O(l )] and estimate the normal boiling point of seawater.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Well, in order to calculate the boiling point, we need to convert NaCl concentration in morality. Which means moles of NaCl per 1Kg of water. And using the morality we can calculate the elevation in boiling point. And finally the boiling point of sea water
