What are boiling chips?

the use of boiling chips is that it traps air bubbles and it provides spaces for the solvent vapor can form. When the boiling process is started heated chips will release small bubbles to promote even heating of the solution this will ensure it will not over heat or (worst case scenario) explode. in short it makes the process more safely :D hope it helped


About how many times more soluble in water is sugar than salt?

I did this experiment for school and sugar is the most soluble in boiling hot water. this was my experiment: Sugar: - I had to stir each tea spoon of sugar for quite a while but amazingly it was the most soluble out of all the substances I put in the boiling hot water. I put 7 teaspoons of sugar into half a glass of boiling hot water. Salt: - on the 1st tea spoon the salt dissolved really quickly so I thought that it would be the most soluble but at the 3rd tea spoon it wouldn't dissolve anymore. hope this helps...

Why cant you not reuse boiling chips?

Never add a boiling chip to a hot liquid, because it can cause immediate boiling over of the solution. If you forget to add a boiling chip before you begin, you must cool the solution before adding one to prevent product loss. "Porous" boiling chips cannot be re-used since the pores inside these stones become filled with liquid on cooling. "Sharp" boiling chips like silicon carbide or coal can often be reused until they become coated with guck and become ineffective.

How do you separate boiling chips from water?

http://orgchem.colorado.edu/hndbksupport/dist/boilchip.html Boiling chips are small, insoluble, porous stones made of calcium carbonate or silicon carbide. These stones have pores inside which provide cavities both to trap air and to provide spaces where bubbles of solvent vapor can form. When a boiling chip is heated in a solvent, it releases tiny bubbles. These bubbles ensure even boiling and prevent bumping and boiling over and loss of the solution.

What is the effect of soluble volatile substance on the boiling point of a water solution?

A soluble volatile substance will lower the boiling point of a solution. The volatile substance will boil at a lower temperature than the water component, thus causing the solution to boil at a lower temperature.


Why does boiling chips take longer than frying?

it takes much longer because they use water in boiling and oil in deep frying


Do soluble substances evaporate with water?

Soluble substances can evaporate with water if they have a lower boiling point than water. When water evaporates, it leaves behind the soluble substances dissolved in it. However, not all soluble substances evaporate at the same rate as water.
