97. The following statements are made with

regard to the boiling point of a liquid.
Which statement is false?
A.

B.

C.

A nonvolatile substance having

zero vapor pressure in solution (for
example, sugars and salts) has no
true boiling point.
The boiling point is the temperature
at which the vapor pressure of a
liquid equals the applied pressure
on the liquid.
The total vapor pressure of a
solution is equal to the sum of the
partial pressure of the components
of the solution.
At high elevations, water boils at a
lower temperature because of a
reduction in the surface tension of
the water. *
