The presence of a non-volatile solute in a solution increases its boiling point. The amount of the elevation of the boiling point depends only on the number of molecules of solute present, and not on their identity. See the article entitled "Boiling-point elevation" on Wikipedia for the maths involved.

Did salt and sugar affect the boiling temperature of water exactly the same?

yes, but i couldn't tell you the mechanics of it.


Which solute an electrolyte or a non electrolyte has the greater effect on the boiling point when a given amount of each solute is dissolved in the same mass of water?

An electrolyte has a greater effect on the boiling point compared to a non-electrolyte when dissolved in water. This is because electrolytes break into ions in solution, increasing the number of particles and thus raising the boiling point more significantly through colligative properties compared to non-electrolytes which do not dissociate into ions.


What is the effect of NaCl and CaCl2 on the boiling point of water?

Adding NaCl (table salt) or CaCl2 (calcium chloride) to water raises the boiling point of water. This is due to the phenomenon of boiling point elevation, where the presence of solute particles in water disrupts its ability to form vapor, requiring higher temperatures to boil.


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.


How does pressure and impurities affects boiling point?

Boiling is used to describe a change of state of a pure liquid to vapour phase. The particular temperature at which this change of state occurs is defined as the boiling point of that specific liquid. Now the question is will addition of impurities have any effect on the boiling point of water. The addition of impurities such as salt or sugar to pure water raises its boiling point.

yes


How do you do the project to How does the salt effect the boiling temperature of water?

Because the salt is an impurity it raises the boiling point by density differences


What would happen to boiling water if an impurity is added?

Adding an impurity to boiling water, such as salt, sugar, or other substances, can change the boiling point of the water. The impurity will raise the boiling point of the water, meaning it will need to reach a higher temperature to boil. This effect is known as boiling point elevation.


What is the effect of an insoluble solid such as glass on the boiling temperature of a liquid?

If the solid is insoluble, it will have little or no effect on the boiling point. If it is soluble, it will raise the boiling point.

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.

How does impurities affect the boiling point of liquid?

Let's say substance A is the substance and substance B is the impurity. The boiling point of the mixture would be somewhere between that of A and B, depending on the amount of impurities in the mixture.

What effect would contaminating the sample with an insoluble impurity have on the melting point?

Soluble impurities (that is, impurities that are included within the crystal matrix) tend to lower the observed melting point and broaden the melting point range. Insoluble impurities have no effect on the melting point. Found from website: http://swc2.hccs.edu/pahlavan/2423L1.pdf
