Answer:
lower than the normal boiling point of water
Step-by-step explanation:
The normal boiling point of water is higher than the normal boiling point of chloroform.
Boiling point is a function of the intermolecular interaction within a chemical entity.
- Intermolecular force of attractions determines determines the bulk of the physical properties of matter.
- Boiling point is one of such properties.
- Water is made up of very strong intermolecular forces called hydrogen bonds.
- Hydrogen bonds are very strong attraction between the hydrogen of one molecule and the more electronegative specie of another molecule.
- This bond type is not present in chloroform.
