Why does salt dissolve more in boiling water more than warm?

More than likely because boiling is much hotter than just warm and when things are hot then dissolve whats around them and since boiling is hotter than warm it dissolves faster. That's just my theory.


Does petrol or spirit evaporate faster?

Petrol evaporates faster than water at room temperature. this is because the boiling point of petrol is 95oC and water's boiling point is 100oC. As the boiling point of water is higher than that of petrol, petrol evaporates faster as it achieves its boiling point before water does.


Why did'NT the salt water boil faster tan the plain water?

Because salt raises the boiling point of water...which is why you cook things like eggs and pasta in salted water: because of this effect, the water gets hotter and the food gets done faster.


Why is a frying pan and a casserole dish better for a pressure cooker?

boiling water will cook it evenly but if you put it straight on with pressured heat it will cook faster. why? heat when pressured becomes extremely hot causing things to cook faster. As the pressure rises, the temperature of the water and steam inside the sealed pot (the pressure cooker) also rises above the normal 100ºC (212ºF) boiling point temperature.
