Question

The median boiling temperature of the tap water is 100°C. The median boiling temperature of the salt water is 102°C. Which statement about the means is most likely true?

Answer 1

THE ANSWER IS B. On Edginuity.

Answer 2

Answer;

The mean of the tap water boiling point is about 2 degrees Celsius less than the mean of the salt water temperature.

Explanation;

• Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid boils or changes from liquid form to gaseous form. Water has a boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius.
• Boiling point of water depends on atmospheric pressure which changes according to the height above sea level of a place.

• Boiling point can also change depending on the purity of water.Water that has impurities such as salt will have a slightly higher boiling temperature.
