Salt will increase the boiling point and decrease the freezing point of water due to colligative properties. Table salt (NaCl) breaks into ions when dissolved. This lowers the vapor pressure of water. When salt dissolves its ions are moving around in the water, and some are near the surface. Rather than all the water just boiling off, some of these ions get in the way, which will raise the boiling point. This effect is not only caused by salt, but by dissolved substance. In general, the more ions or particles dissolved, the greater the effect on boiling point, so MgCl2 would have a greater effect on boiling point than NaCl, because MgCl2 dissociates into three ions instead of two.

How does the addition of salt affect the boiling point of water?

Adding salt to water increases the boiling point of the water. This is because the salt disrupts the normal boiling process by reducing the vapor pressure of the water, requiring a higher temperature to boil.

How does the boiling point affect sugar water?

salt or sugar would lower the melting point and raise the boiling point. The salt or sugar would reduce the partial pressure of water in the solution (essentially more competition), effectively raising the boiling point.


Does salt evaporate in boiling water?

No, salt does not evaporate in boiling water. When water boils, it turns into steam, leaving behind the salt in the water. Salt does not have a low enough boiling point to evaporate along with the water.
