Question

A sample of water begins to freeze at —3°C at normal temperature and pressure. What can you say about its boiling point?

A.

It will boil below 100°C

B.

It will boil above 100°C

C.

It will boil at 100°C

D.

It will not boil

Correct option is B

The boiling point of water at normal temperature and pressure is 1000C. This means that, under normal conditions, water changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state at 1000C.
However, the information provides states that the water begins to freeze at -30C. This implies that the temperature of the water is below the freezing point of 00C. When the temperature of the water is below its freezing point, it transitions from a liquid state to a solid state. This indicates that the water is in a solid state at temperatures below -30 C. Since the water is in a solid at -30C, it is not at the boiling point, and therefore it will not boil at this temperature.
