The boiling point of pure water is lower than the boiling point of a water-salt solution, so it takes takes longer to heat the water-salt solution to its boiling point.

Will salt water boil or will regular water boil?

Both salt water and regular water will boil. However, salt water will have a higher boiling point than regular water due to the presence of salt in the solution.


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

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.


Is salt water less dence then pure water?

No, salt water is generally denser than pure water due to the dissolved salt particles increasing the overall mass of the solution. This increased density causes objects to float higher in salt water compared to pure water.


What temperature does salt water boil at?

Salt water boils at a higher temperature than pure water. The exact temperature depends on the concentration of salt in the water. Generally, salt water boils around 100.2 degrees Celsius (212.4 degrees Fahrenheit) at sea level.


Do salt water boil faster than non salt water?

Adding a salt to a substance changes its boiling and freezing points, but it lowers its freezing point and raises its boiling point. So, salt water actually takes more heat to boil because the salt has raised the boiling point.

Can you get pure water from salt water?

Yes, you can distill the salt water (boil it) and collect the steam, the condensed stream will be pure water. You can also squeeze salt water through a semi permeable membrane (as in a desalination plant) and get fresh water.


Does water boil faster if it contains salt?

Salty water boils at a higher temperature than pure water does.

Does pure water boil faster with salt added?

I don't know, but that would be a really good experimate to try.


How do you convert salt water into pure by visually?

Desalination of water is not a visual process. It is usually done by some form of distillation. You evaporate or boil the water away, leaving the salt behind.

Why does salt take longer to boil than water?

Surprisingly, water with a high salt content boils faster than pure water. Salt water may have a higher boiling point than freshwater, but because it takes less energy to increase the temperature of salt water (due to the salt requiring very little energy to heat) the salt water boils faster.


If pure water has a density of one gram per milliliter why does an egg sink in it but float in salt water?

That indicates that the average density of an egg is greater than the density of pure water but less than that of salt water. Salt water has more density the regular/pure water and the more salt you add the more it floats.


How much time does it take to boil saltwater or pure water?

That is entirely dependent on: 1. Your relation to sea level. 2. How much water you have. 3. How much salt is in the salt water. 4. What amount of heat you are using.
