Salts are insoluble in water
13. What is the effect of adding a non-volatile solute to a solvent on the boiling point of the solvent?
Decreases the boiling point
Increases the boiling point
No effect on the boiling point
Depends on the solute
14. Which of the following best describes a supersaturated solution?
