Steps to see if adding salt to water change the temperature at which it boils?

Answer 1

To test if adding salt to water increases the boiling point of the water, do the following: boil a sample of pure water until it boils. Measure the temperature at which the pure water boils. Take another sample of pure water and add salt to it, then boil this sample under the same conditions. Measure the temperature at which the salt water boils. If the latter temperature is higher, salt does increase the boiling point of water.

Answer 2

1. Measure equal amounts of water in two pots.
2. Add salt to one pot and bring both pots to a boil.
3. Record the temperature at which each pot boils.
4. Compare the temperatures to see if adding salt affects the boiling point of water.
