When compared to pure water,aqueous solutions always have
A)higher boiling point and higher freezing point.
B)lower boiling point and lower freezing point.
C)higher boiling point and lower freezing point.
D)lower boiling point and higher freezing point.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aqueous solutions have a higher boiling point and lower freezing point compared to pure water due to the presence of solutes in the solution. The solutes disrupt the hydrogen bonding between water molecules, making it harder for the water molecules to break apart and form a gas (higher boiling point) and making it easier for the water molecules to form solid bonds (lower freezing point).
