Best Answer

because the boiling and freezing points can be from two different substances so one could be frozen at 0 degrees and the other boiling

It can't (unless the substance sublimes instead of having a solid state, in which case they are in effect the same).

What is melting and boiling point of salt water?

The boiling point is raised to around about 110 degrees Celsius and the freezing point is lowered to about - 4


How boiling point of water can be raised?

Presence of soluble impurities in water generally causes elevation of boiling point.


What effect does salt have on hot water?

Salt raises the boiling point of water. The process is known as boiling point elevation. The higher the concentration of salt in the water, the higher the boiling point of water is raised.


After Felix adds salt to the boiling water what will he have in the pot?

Salt water, but the water will stop boiling because upon adding the salt it raised the boiling point of water.


What is the effect of pressure on boiling point of butane?

If nonsalt water is placed in a closed system (for example an automotive cooling system) then for every pound of pressure the system can handle (ex. radiator cap) the boiling point of water (normally being 212f) is raised by 3 degrees. Thus, if said system can handle only 1 pound pressure before the water boils the temperature of the water when it boils should be 215F. Or so I understand.


Does salt affect the temperature of water -boiling point - freezing point?

i would opt for the Freezing point. salt decreases the freezing point of water. so if water would normally freeze at 0C, saltwater would freeze at -3C.


The boling point of salt water?

That all depends on how much salt is in the water. Adding salt to water lowers the boiling point, but the degree to which it's lowered depends on the concentration of salt. More salt, lower boiling point.


Does sugar affect the boiling point of water?

Adding sugar to boiling water it will increase the boiling temperature very slightly


Do salt water boil faster than non salt water?

Adding a salt to a substance changes its boiling and freezing points, but it lowers its freezing point and raises its boiling point. So, salt water actually takes more heat to boil because the salt has raised the boiling point.


What is boiling and freezing point?

Freezing point is the temperature required to turn a liquid into a solid. Boiling point is the temperature required to turn a liquid into a gas. Almost everything has a freezing and boiling point. If you mean water well The freezing point is 0oC The boiling point is 100oC If you add a bit salt to the water to make saline then the freezing point is changed and lowered somewhere in the region of -10c (which is why we salt grit our roads in winter)


Why does pressured water have a raised boiling point?

Boiling is the phenomenon in which saturated vapour pressure becomes equal to the external pressure. Hence as we increase the external pressure then the boiling point has to increase so as to attain that pressure


How does pressure affect boiling point?

The boiling point is that temperature when the SATURATEDvapor pressure of a liquidbecomes equal tothe surrounding pressure.Thus the higher the sorrounding pressure, the higher the boiling point.
