When does water boil above 100 Celsius?

The possible reason is because impurities are added into the water. E.g. Syrup(water and sugar) Seawater(cotains salt)


What cause surface ocean water to have a higher salt content?

The salinity of ocean water depends on its location, rate of evaporation, amount of precipitation and amount of freshwater added to the ocean.


Is carbon dioxide added to champagne?

No, the CO2 in champagne is a naturally occurring phenomenon of the fermentation process.


What is the color of butter before food coloring is added?

Butter is naturally that color. Margarine requires a yellow colorant to mimic the color of butter. before it is colored it is white.


Why salinity or density of water would affect the water's boiling point?

Water is an ionic solvent so when an ionic compound (salt) is added it serves to pull the water molecules close around the ions. This effect a higher temperature of vaporization as it would then require a little extra energy to pull the clusters apart.

CHLORINITY IS THE MEASURE OF ADDED HALLIDES AND GREATER THE HALINITY GREATER THE SALINITY BECOMES.


What is the connection between density and salinity?

I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases


Does warm water have higher salinity than cold water?

Water salinity describes the amount of salty minerals dissolved in a sample of water. It would therefore make no difference whether the water is warm or cold, since you would have the same amount of salt dissolved in the water per cm3 of water. Salinity would change if you added more water, or if the water was so hot that some of it evaporates, leaving all the dissolved solids behind, but decreasing the amount of water it is dissolved in.


What percentage of the ocean is freshwater?

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/29/science/q-a-salt-water-and-fresh.html this might help..and SeawaterFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaSea water in the Strait of MalaccaSeawater is water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. This means that every kilogram (2.2lb), or every litre, of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts (mostly, but not entirely, the ions of sodium chloride: Na+, Cl−). The average density of seawater at the ocean surface is 1.025 g/ml; seawater is denser than freshwater (which reaches a maximum density of 1.000 g/ml at a temperature of 4 °C (39 °F)) because of the salts' added mass. Thefreezing point of sea water decreases with increasing salinity and is about −2 °C (28.4 °F) at 35 g/l.[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seawater

What minerals dissolve in sea water?

They are washed down by rivers and added by rainfall. They also leach into the seawater from the sea bed


What is the average density of seawater?

The density of surface seawater ranges from about 1.020 to 1.029 g·cm-3, depending on the temperature and salinityThe average density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1.025 g/ml; seawater is denser than freshwater (which reaches a maximum density of 1.000 g/ml at a temperature of 4°C) because of the added mass of the salts.


How does the salt that you eat be obtained?

Sodium chloride is extracted from mines or seawater; after this is purified. Iodine (as potassium iodide or iodate) and anticaking agent are added.


Why 'Salt' in saline water?
