Yes. Now let me figure out which way it goes... Salt lowers the vapor pressure because it takes up space at the surface, thus impeding the escape of water molecules, without impeding the collection of water molecules from the surroundings. Under sufficiently high humidity conditions and sufficiently high salt concentrations, the salt water will gain water from the atmosphere, i.e. a negative evaporation rate. Turns out that without this phenomenon, rain would be exceedingly rare, because it would be well nigh impossible for a cloud droplet to form, requiring highly supersaturated air before the first droplet formed. But once it did, it would be a doozy. But don't trust me. This sounds like a really good kitchen counter experiment. A couple of plastic cups, a ruler, a few tablespoons of salt, maybe some sugar or baking soda, and some water. Have fun with it. Report your results here.
What else can I help you with?
What would be the effect of adding sugar on the heating and cooling of water?
The boiling point of the solution is lower, the boiling point is higher.
What is the overall effect adding a solute to a solution?
boiling point is increased and freezing point is decreased
Did salt and sugar affect the boiling temperature of water exactly the same?
yes, but i couldn't tell you the mechanics of it.
The freezing point and the boiling point of water can be altered by a variety of techniques Which of the following has little or no effect on the boiling point of water?
Pressure changes have little effect on the boiling point of water. The boiling point of water changes depending on the pressure, but the effect is minimal compared to other factors like adding solutes or using a catalyst.
What effect does ethanol have on the boiling point of water?
The pure ethanol has the boiling point 78.5 celsius while water has 100 celsius so when water is added to ethanol its boiling point becomes increased.
What effect does adding water have on the boiling point of ethanol?
Adding water to ethanol lowers its boiling point. This is because water forms an azeotrope with ethanol, which alters the vapor pressure of the mixture, resulting in a lower boiling point compared to pure ethanol.
What effect does solute have on the boiling point of a solvent?
The solute increases the boiling point of the solvent
Does sugar affect the boiling point of water?
Adding sugar to boiling water it will increase the boiling temperature very slightly
How does salt effect boiling point?
The boiling point is higher.
Will water boil more quickly if salt baking soda or sugar are dissolved in it?
No. When it comes to changing boiling point, it doesn't matter what the solute is. And the boiling point of a liquid always rises if a solid is dissolved into it.
What effect would dissolving some copper sulphate crystals in the water have on its boiling point?
Adding copper sulphate crystals to water will raise the boiling point of the solution, as the dissolved particles disrupt the water molecules, making it harder for them to escape as vapor. This results in an increase in boiling point compared to pure water.
Why does plain water boil faster than vinegar water?
Adding vinegar to water the effect of boiling point elevation occur.
