The question is a matter of boiling point elevation. Boiling point elevation is a colligative property of water, meaning it depends on only the amount of substance dissolved in the water, not the type of substance. Thus, because table salt dissociates into its constitutive ions (Na+ and Cl-) whereas sugar does not, the same amount of table salt will increase the bp of water to a higher value. Because the b.p. of salt water would then be higher than the bp OS sugar water, it will take longer for the salt water to boil.

Fresh water. Sugar (or salt), if dissolved in the water, will cause the boiling point of the solution to be higher, causing it to boil later (assuming that the heat source is the same and the starting temperatures of the solution and the water is the same).

As a rule of thumb, anything dissolved in the water will raise the boiling point in proportion to the amount dissolved.

Going in the other direction, dissolving something in water will LOWER the Freezing Point of the water. That's how Antifreeze works in a car.

The ions in your sodium chloride disperse in the water. Normally, water is very hard to turn into a gas because it has hydrogen bonds, as well as being a polar molecule. With ions in the water, it disrupts the hydrogen bonding making water boil at a lower temperature. This also works in the other direction; as you add salt to ice, it has to be at a lower temperature to remain frozen. This is why they use salt to melt ice, because it will make it melt at a lower temperature.

Regular water boils faster than if anything is dissolved in it. Dissolving something in water raises the boiling point of the solution which means that it will take longer to boil.

no. regular water boils faster because it has a lower molecular mass.

Yes, because the specific heat of sugar with water is less than water.

What boils faster salt water or plain water?

For salt water to boil faster than plain water, the salt concentration would have to be fairly high. In addition, the salt water would need to be a salt water solution before putting the pot on to heat because of the density of the water content itself.


What boils faster sugar water or salt water?

This depends on the concentration of water or sugar.


What boils faster salt water sugar water oil water vinger wateror normal water?

The correct answer is salt water.


Why does suger water boil faster than salt water?

Get your facts right! SALT WATER boils faster than sugar water! Why? Because heat induces hydrogen bonding between sugar and water molecules. In other words, for sugar and water, much energy is spent in bonding.
