The Effect of Salt on Boiling Temperature of Water

data-based SCIENCE PROJECTSThe Effect of brininess on the Boiling Temperature of piddle(Initially prepared by a 4th Grade student)To quickly jump to a contribution below click onINITIAL OBSERVATIONCooking instructions tell you to tag on salt to piddle before simmering it. PROJECT TITLEThe Effect of Salt on the Boiling Temperature of WaterPURPOSE OF THE PROJECTTo find out how board salt affects the simmering temperature of wet. HYPOTHESISAdding display board salt to change state water will cause the water to buzz at a higher temperature.MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENTTable Salt Distilled Water 2 Quart Cooking Pot Pint measuring shape Teaspoon and tablespoon measuring spoons Thermometer Stirring spoon EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDUREBoil peerless quart of distilled water on a stove. Measure the temperature of the turn water. place down the highest temperature reading. This is the control to compare with. Measure out table salt use a kitchen measuring spoon. Level the spoonful. Add the mea sured salt to the boil water and stir.Measure the temperature of the stewing water with the salt in it. Record the highest temperature reading. cite for other meats of salt. DATAData Obtained 2/25/95, Mankato, MN Amount of boiling water2 Cups Temperature of boiling water (Control)212. 9F Amount of table salt added to boiling water die hard 11 Tbl. Temperature of boiling water afterward adding salt pull 1215. 6F Additional amount of table salt added to boiling water swan 21 Tbl. Temperature of boiling water after adding salt Run 2218. F EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATIONSWhen the salt was added to boiling water it bubbled up more, and then stopped boiling. Shortly afterwards, it boiled again. If the thermometer extends beyond the outside of the lavatory it reads a higher temperature. Heat from the stove burner makes the thermometer read higher. Keep the thermometer everywhere the pot when making temperature measurements. CALCULATIONSTotal amount of table salt added for Run 1 0 + 1 = 1 Tbl. Total amount of table salt added for Run 2 1 + 1 = 2 Tbl.RESULTS Temperature of boiling water (Control)212. 9F Amount of table salt added to boiling water Run 11 Tbl. Temperature of boiling water after adding salt Run 1215. 6F Total amount of table salt added to boiling water Run 22 Tbl. Temperature of boiling water after adding salt Run 2218. 3F Amount of Table Salt Added VersusWater Boiling TemperatureCONCLUSIONSIs the hypothesis sink? Yes. Adding table salt to water causes the water to boil at a higher temperature. Problems with doing the experiments.The temperature readings were hard to make. Gloves had to be worn to keep my hands from get too hot. Had to be careful that the stove heat was not smasher the thermometer. Other things learned. Be careful when adding salt to boiling water. It makes the water boil vigorously for a second or two. RELATED QUESTIONSWhy do you think cooking instructions tell you to add salt when boiling water? When the water is hotter, you can cook food faster. Salt alike makes the food taste better. HOME->0 ->0 .. /index. html
