The boiling point of water depends on the amount of pressure on the individual molecules ( particles that make up water) so adding something different(like sugar) changes the pressure because the molecules are modified. The concentration of a solution ( how dense it is) also changes things, namely, the less pure a substance is, the higher it's boiling point is . If you are finding this hard to understand, think of the standard cordial available from your local supermarket. This is concentrated: You add more water to make it drinkable. Things like washing detergent or powder also advertise being more dense because you only have to use one spoonful to get the same results. To explain in more detail: Sugar's 'molecular weight" is three times that of salt, and it doesn't split into different particles when dissovled wheras salt does. With sugar, for every 180grams added to the water, the boiling point rises half a degree celcius.(Normal water boils at 100degrees celcius)

Sugar added to boiling water will dissolve. This creates a sugar solution.

Boiling point increases.

This is because the presence of impurities (in this case sugar) increases the boiling point of water.

What rises the boiling point of a liquid?

Well first of all, you can use different liquids, for instance syrup. Another thing is that you can add things to the water, like sugar. The sugar boiling point is very high and if it gets high enough, makes carmel.

When the water reaches boiling point, add the potato flakes.


Why does the water bubble up then stop then it starts again just by adding salt?

When you add the salt it increases the boiling point of the water, so bubbling stops until this new solution reaches its boiling point. Adding salt, sugar, or any solute to water raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of water.


How do you make a SOLUTE?

all you have to do is add sugar into boiling water. the sugar will dissolve and make saturated sugar!!

What is the effect of the boiling point and freezing point of a solution with electrolytes is caused?

it's a colligative property of solutions... when you add a higher boiling substance to a solution the boiling point increases and when you add anything that interferes with the intramolecular forces holding the solution together the freezing point decreases.


What happens if you add heat to a solid it will?

If a solid is subjected to heat, it will expand. On reaching its melting point, the solid will become liquid. At boiling point it will convert in to gaseous form. These are the three states of a matter.


What is the affect of the boiling point when you add salt in pure water?

It raises the boiling point of water and it can make it taste funny and yooh smell

saturated


Can water get higher than its boiling point?

yes, if you add salt.


What is the boiling point of baking soda mixed with water?

Boiling point of water increases as the total solid content increases. When a sugar is dissolved in water its boiling point is higher than the pure water i.e. >100°C. This depends on the concentration of sugar or amount of sugar dissolved in water.


Asume benzene insoluble in water the normal boiling point of benzene and water is 80.1'c and 100'c respectively at a pressure of 1 ATM what will be the boiling point of mixture of benzene and water?

The partial pressures of water and benzene will be their corresponding vapor pressures at the boiling point so it must add up to 1 atm and this happens at roughly about 342-343 K.
