Can salt affect the boiling speed of water?
There are some flaws in most experiments that attempt to detemine if salt affects the boiling speed of water that you’ll have to correct if you want to use the results to show how salt affects the boiling point of water. The molecules in the liquid are in constant motion. They constantly collide with each other and with the walls of their container; every now and then, a collision will cause one of the molecules to be ejected from the liquid into the air above it, creating a vapor pressure above the liquid. Heating the liquid increases the average speed of the molecules, increases the number of molecules ejected, and increases the vapor pressure. A liquid boils when its vapor pressure becomes equal to atmospheric pressure. Low atmospheric pressure causes the boiling point to go down; high pressure drives it up. Atmospheric pressure varies a bit from day to day, depending on the weather, and it varies from place to place, depending on the altitude. So it’s quite possible that you’ll get
