Comments on: Salt and the Boiling Point of Water http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/how-does-salt-affect-the-boiling-point-of-water.html Science Blog from Freelance Science Writer David Bradley Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:25:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: garrett s kissell says http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/how-does-salt-affect-the-boiling-point-of-water.html/comment-page-28#comment-643392 garrett s kissell says Mon, 24 Oct 2011 18:17:39 +0000 http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/how-does-salt-affect-the-boiling-point-of-water.html#comment-643392 i would like to know what is the effect of salt on boiling point of mixture of solvents (ammonia+water).The last sentence in the first paragraph of your post doesn’t mention that there is a maximum, it is not a linear scale, it tends towards a maximum value, in other words it plateaus. Solubility curves also complicate the picture. Remember the solubility curve for NaCl is unusual, as it’s solubility hardly varies with temperature whereas it does for other salts.4 cups of wate and 3 tbs of salt plzzzzzz!!!.Hey, “Somebody”, of what would your science teachers and judges be suspicious? The fact that you were planning to crib the entire article and claim it as your own (in which case you’ll not get a great grade anyway because the article isn’t a project write-up)? Or, the fact that you’d had the initiative to search for useful background information on the internet? The article exists on this site because lots of people want to know how salt affects the boiling point of water, I have no intention of changing. i would like to know what is the effect of salt on boiling point of mixture of solvents (ammonia+water).The last sentence in the first paragraph of your post doesn’t mention that there is a maximum, it is not a linear scale, it tends towards a maximum value, in other words it plateaus.

Raoult’s law states that: the vapor pressure of each chemical component in an ideal solution is dependent on the vapor pressure of the individual component and the mole fraction of the component present in the solution The last sentence in the first paragraph of your post doesn’t mention that there is a maximum, it is not a linear scale, it tends towards a maximum value, in other words it plateaus.

I don't believe colligative boiling point depression is that significant. Reducing the air pressure can lower the boiling point considerably, however. Read the post Kyongera.

You're the best, now can you make one about matter gas, liquid and solid thank you.
