Sodium chloride solution freezes at lowe...

Sodium chloride solution freezes at lower temperature then water but boils at higher temperature than water. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The freezing point of a liquid depresses on the addition of a non-volatile solute, and therefore, a solution of sodium chloride freezes at a temperature lower than the freezing point of water. On the other hand, there is elevation of boiling point on the addition of a non-volatile solute and consequently the boiling point of sodium chloride solution is more then that of water.
