Boil just the amount of water you actually need will help and put a lid on top of you cooking pot, you can also split the water between two pans and each will boil quicker, or boil half the water in a pan the other half in the kettle.

No, doing this actually prolongs the time that it takes to boil the water. The reason for this is because by stirring it, you are letting more of the heat escape. Therefore, it will take longer for the water to become heated.

no it doesn't because if u just put the tempurchure on full power until it starts bubbling the you lower it... i have tyred adding salt and the bubbles actually stopped bubbling

It is unlikely that water vapor molecules that are trying to escape the liquid phase (vaporization or "boiling") would be aided, in their escape, by putting fat old salt molecules (or ions) in their way. You can add NOTHING (except energy) to water, that can help molecules of water escape "faster" from other water molecules. The best you can do is MOVE any kind of molecules out of the way.

That is a myth. Adding salt to water will require it to reach a higher temperature in order to boil, so it actually takes longer for the water to boil.

Yes, some humidifiers require you to add salt so the water boils hot enough to steam.

if it is a big pot it will cook slower if it isa small pot it will cook faster but it really depends on what temperature it is on

Yes, stirring will slow any bubbling going on with boiling water, and if stirred for a long enough time it will lower the temperature by adding air to the water.

How much salt do you put in to make the water boil faster?

Adding salt to water will make it take longer for the water to boil. You should wait until the water is already boiling to add salt.


Does adding sugar to a liquid make it boil faster?

yes


Adding what to water will make it boil the fastest propanol octanol C25H52?

Propanol has the lowest boiling point of the three, and adding it to water will therefore make the water boil fastest.


How does adding salt to water effect how it boils?

Raises the temperature at which the water boilsAdding salt does not make the water boil faster, but makes the water boil at a higher temperature than 100 degrees Celsius. This may allow you to cook food in that water faster than in plain boiling water.


What is hot water made of?

hot water is made of molecules that can move faster and faster and you can boil or microwave the water to make it become hotter and hotter


Why does vodka make water boil faster?

Because the boiling point of ethanol (the alcohol in vodka) is lower than that of water.


What salt makes water boil faster?

Sea Salt makes water harder (higher boiling point) to boil. The only way to make water boil faster is to get EVERYTHING (all dissolved and undissolved) out of the way of the escaping water molecules and crank up the temperature (give em the "HOT-FOOT!)!


Does more salt make water boil faster?

Short answer: no, it actually makes it boil slower. Dissolving salt to water lowers its melting point and raises its boiling point by an amount proportionate to moles of salt over kilograms of water. Adding 1.00 pound of salt to 1.00 kg of water raises its boiling point by 7.95 degrees C or 14.3 degrees F


Do you put salt in water when boiling eggs?

Adding salt to water when you boil foods is for the purpose of flavor only. I don't add salt to water when boiling foods. That began because of a low sodium diet but now if salt is added to the water the food tastes too salty to me. If you add salt or how much salt you add is a personal choice for your taste preference.


How do you make water cold?

An easy way to make water cold is to put it in the refrigerator. If this is not possible, adding colder water would make water colder. Actually, adding ice would make this process faster, as it is colder than cold water. And dry ice would make it cold even faster than ice (but dry ice is dangerous- be careful).


Does salt added to water make the water heat up faster than water without salt added and if both are heated to a boil?

NO Normal water boils faster because salt (sodium chloride) breaks up very slowly and since its salt water. The salt binds itself with the molecules of the water therefore increasing the boiling point, hence making it slower to boil. In comparison to normal water, salt water takes longer to boil than normal water.
