Natural Science Lab report.docx Natural Science Lab C683 Does Adding Salt Increase the Boiling Point of Water? Introduction and Literature Review: As Sofia Petrillo would say: “Picture it.â... € You are in the kitchen and spaghetti is on the menu for tonights dinner. You have all the ingredients you need. The tomatoes and onions are diced. The ground beef is seasoned and ready to add to the dish. The only thing missing is the pasta. Time to boil some water!

Will adding salt to the water help it boil faster or will it add more time to the process? Lets find out! In an article from livescience.com, the subject of the boiling point of water with salt is explained. Boiling water requires a lot of energy. The water molecules have to heat up and become gas. Adding salt to this will increase the time it takes the water to boil. A higher boiling point is required. The added salt adds more mass to the water which requires more energy to boil the water. Plain water will boil faster because it is just the water and the heat. (Does Salt Make Water Boil Faster, 2016) According to an article on mentalfloss.com by Sean Hutchinson, saltwater requires a higher temperature of heat in order to boil. This is contrary to popular believe. For years chefs have sworn by adding salt to water to make it boil faster. Based on science, it is not the case. The water will get hotter, but it doesnt boil faster.
