What is the effect on the boiling point of water if 1 mole of methyl alcohol is added to 1 dm3 of water? Why?

Answer»
  • The boiling point of water (or any liquid) depends on its vapour pressure. 
  • Higher the vapour pressure, lower is the boiling point. 
  • When 1 mole of volatile methyl alcohol is added to 1 dm3 of water, its vapour pressure is increased decreasing the boiling point of water.
