a sample water under study was found to boil at 102 degree celsius at normal pressure. is the water pure and can it freeze at 0 degree celsius?

 No. At normal pressure (1 atm), the boiling point of water is 99.97 degrees Celsius. This is usually rounded to 100 degrees Celsius. As you go up in elevation, the atmospheric pressure decreases, and the boiling point of water decreases. So pure water can never have a boiling point higher than 100 (99.97) degrees Celsius. However, your thermometer may also be defective.

It cannot freeze at o degree celsius because If a solution boils at higher temperature at the normal pressure than the water is said to be impure because impure solution boils at higher temperature. Similarly impure water will lead to decrease in freezing point. Thus this water will not freeze at 0 0 C and will freeze at even lower temperature.

Yes the water is pure beacuse it has left all the impurities behind and is in the gaseous state.

No, it won't freeze at 0 degree Celsius as it has a non volatile impurity in it

No, Water is not pure because pure water boils at 100 degree celsius. It will not freeze at 0 degree celsius.
