Sea water boils below 100°C. [True/ False] - Vidyadip

Question

Sea water boils below 100°C. [True/ False]

✓

Answer

False.Explanation:
Pure water boils at 100 degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure, but the Dead Sea surface is so low (more than 400 meters below "sea level") that water boils at about 101 degrees there. It does boil at a higher temperature because of the high amounts of non-volatile solids.
