Q. Which substance would give a solution with a boiling point below that of pure water rather than above ?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

When two liquids are mixed, the boiling point of the mixture lies somewhere between the boiling points of the two pure substances. Since ethyl alcohol has a lower boiling point than water, a mixture of the two would also have a lower boiling point.
