How would lakes oceans and the atmosphere be affected if water had different freezing and boiling points?

Lakes and oceans would be effected because if the boiling point changed, the water could evaporate...not sure about the atmosphere. Sorry!


What is the difference of boiling points between sea water and normal water?

Sea water has a higher boiling point than water, meaning that it will have to be heated more then pure water to boil. This temperature depends on the concentration of the salt in the salt water. The boiling point of normal water at normal pressure is 100C/212 F while for sea water it is 2 C higher or more depending on the salt concentration/impurities in the sea water. The difference in the boiling points would be 2 C or greater.


Explain why a distillation would not separate a mixture of the miscible liquids formic acid which boils at 100.7 degrees celsius and water which boils at 100 degrees celsius?

This is because their boiling points are close. Distillation is used to separate mixtures in which their constituents have boiling points that are relatively far apart. A better method would be fractional distillation which can be used to separate mixtures in which their constituents have relatively close boiling points.


For 4 cups of boiling water do you boil 4 cups of water or do you measure water after boiling?

you measure the water before boiling. after boiling would be more tricky.


Does boiled water make tap water cleaner?

The boiling point of tap water is higher than that of distilled water because tap water contains many minerals and bacteria that have higher boiling points than of water in its natural state and thus they collectively increase the boiling point of water. I would suggest researching the boiling points of substances in tap water such as nitrate, chlorine, fluoride, led, etc. because these substances are not in distilled water.


What is the boiling point and freezing point of fahrenheit?

Fahrenheit is a person or a temperature scale, while boiling and freezing points are physical properties of chemicals. You need to be specific in asking which chemical's boiling and freezing points. Water has a freezing point of 32 degrees F, and a boiling point of 212 degrees F.


What would be temperature of a pot of water if you continued heating it for 10 minutes after it had already started boiling?

If the water is actively boiling, it is never more than 100 degrees Celsius (212°F).When water is not boiling (because of pressure or lack of nucleation points), it can become hotter than 100°C, a process known as superheating.

What would happen to boiling water if an impurity is added?

The boiling point increases, thus the water would stop boiling, unless more energy is suppled than before.
