yes, It gets the convection current going faster and makes the water hotter. it also helps to put a lid on with the salt already in the water

Does water temperature effect how long it takes to boil?

Air pressure and moisture in the air can affect the length of time it takes for something to start boiling. But the affect would not be very high I must say, this is an interesting question. I do not believe that weather affects how long water takes to boil unless you are outside. I am not a physics professor, however.


Does amount of water effect how long it takes to boil?

Yes. The more quantity of water there is the more time it takes to boil than a less quantity of water. No I don't think so because it depends on the temperature on which it is the boiled.If it is more,then the water boils fast. Of course if it is more water,then it needs more temperature than less quantity of water.


How long does it take to boil non salted water?

Forever, if you don't heat it above the boiling point; almost no time, if you heat it to 10 million degrees. In other words, it's too variable for any single answer to have any real meaning.


How long does it take to boil 150ml of water on a Bunsen burner?

It typically takes around 2-3 minutes to boil 150ml of water on a Bunsen burner, depending on the intensity of the flame and the efficiency of the burner.


Why does the amount of water affect time it takes to boil?

The basic formula which describes the energy required to raise the temperature of a substance is ΔE=mcΔθ. where: ΔE = Difference in energy m = mass of the substance c = specific heat capacity of the substance Δθ = change in thermodynamic temperature without any calculation, it is clear that if the change in temperature is the same (i.e. from room temperature to boiling point); and the specific heat capacity is the same; the more of the substance that is being boiled; the more energy is required. If the device which is boiling the substance is at a constant power, whether it be a burner or a kettle, the more energy required to boil the substance, the more time it will take to boil so long as the power is held constant.

What materials do you need for the experiment Does the amount of water effect how long it takes to boil?

You will need a stove, pot, water, thermometer, and a timer for the experiment. The amount of water does affect how long it takes to boil as more water will require more energy to heat up and reach its boiling point compared to a smaller volume of water.


It takes 3 minutes to boil 1 egg How long does it take to boil 3 eggs?

3 minutes. You boil all three eggs together.


Does the kind of water affect how long it takes to boil?

no because it is still water h2o . . so it will have the same boiling point


Does food colouring affect the time it takes for water to boil?

Food colouring does not affect how long it takes for water to boil. Both clear water and water with food colouring boil at the same speed with no real obvious differences in time.


What is the time needed for water to boil and the effect of adding salt?

The time needed for water to boil depends on various factors such as the heat source and the amount of water. Generally, it takes around 5-10 minutes for water to boil. Adding salt to water increases its boiling point, meaning it takes longer for saltwater to reach boiling point compared to plain water. However, the difference in boiling time is minimal and may not be noticeable in everyday cooking.
