Mario uses a hot plate to heat a beaker of 50mL of water. He used a thermometer to measure the

temperature of the water. The water in the beaker began to boil when it reached the temperature of

100'C. If Mario completes the same experiment with 25mL of water, what would happen to the boiling

point?

a) The water will not reach a boil.

b) The boiling point of water will increase.

c) The boiling point of water will decrease.

d) The boiling point of water will stay the same.
