Will water with salt evaporate faster than water without salt experiment?

Water with salt will actually take longer than water without salt to evaporate. This is due to boiling point elevation. If you put a solute into water, it will make it more difficult to boil, and therefore will boil at a higher temperature. Since it takes longer for the salt water to boil, it will take longer for it to evaporate as well


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.


Why does salt water take longer to boil?

The boiling point is increased after adding impurities to water.


Does salt water boil faster than plain?

Salt (or anything dissolved into water) will increase the boiling point of water. It will take longer to come to a boil. Salt reduces the vapor pressure of the water and so requires a higher energy level to boil.


Will it take longer to boil salt water than fresh water?

Yes. The boiling point of salt water is higher than the boiling point of pure water.


Should salt be added to water to make it boil fast or leave it out?

Don't add salt. Salt raises the boiling point of water, making it take longer.


Does salt increase boiling time?

If your question means: If salt is added to water will it take longer to boil using the same conditions to boil fresh water? Adding salt elevates the boiling point of water so the mass of water has to be heated to a higher temperature to boil, therefore, boiling time is increased.


Does salt makes water boils faster?

No it does'nt!It makes it go slower. by alshacore


How do you get the salt out of sea water?

Boil the water (and condense it if you want to keep it) and the salt will be left behind


Do larger amounts of water take longer to boil?

Yes


What does it mean to desalinate water?

Desalination (to desalinate) means to take out the salt. If you boil salt water, the water turns to gas and leaves the salt behind.


How many minutes does it take to boil salt water?

Salt water will boil at 108 degrees Celsius, so getting it to the boil will take 8% longer under the exact same circumstances as when you heat it to 100 degrees. How much time it will take in minutes depends on how high you will turn up the fire, if you will put a lid on the pan, whether you turn up or down the heat halfway etcetera.
