Title: An Inquiry into the Effect of the Molarity of Salt Water on the Boiling Point
Word Count: 984
Overview:
This lab was an inquiry into the relationship between the molarity of saltwater and its boiling point. Testing in this lab consisted of four separate molarities, along with three trials per molarity. The lab modeled a form of chemical reaction called ionic bonds, and highlighted common chemical reactions in life.
Testable Question:
How does the molarity of saltwater (M) affect the boiling point (C°)?
Background information:
In order for water to boil, a large amount of energy must be involved. In fact, in order to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree, one calorie of energy …show more content…

This is due to the fact that the ionic forces brought by sodium (+) and chlorine (-) result in stronger intermolecular bonds. Chemical bonds called ionic forces are formed in saltwater solutions and have a greater degree of polarity than hydrogen bonds. As a result, the boiling point rises (Ashenhurst).

Hypothesis:
If the molarity of saltwater is increased, then the boiling point will increase because the strong intermolecular forces called ionic bonds formed in a saline solution prevent water from evaporating as efficiently.
Variables:
Independent Variable
Modifying the molarity of the saline solution …show more content…

The beaker was placed on the heating element on high heat and was left undisturbed until it began to boil. When the solution reached a rolling boil, the temperature of the water was tested and recorded utilising the same method as the first trial. Two more trials of the 0.5 M mixture were conducted. The experiment was repeated three times more with 11.688 grams of salt to create a 1 M mixture. The experiment was repeated three times more with 17.532 grams of salt to create a 1.5 M mixture. The experiment was repeated three times more with 23.376 grams of salt to create a 2 M mixture. The materials were cleaned up and the beaker was

A hot plate was placed under the ring stand. 50 mL of 3.0 M NaOH in a 250 mL beaker and a stir bar was placed in the beaker. The beaker with NaOH was placed on the hot plate and 3.75 grams of NaAlO2*5H2O was placed in the beaker. The temperature probe was placed in the beaker with the solution, not touching the bottom of the beaker. The solution was heated and stirred till the solution dissolved.

After seeing this data the two most effective look chemical at resisting energy was CaCl2 and LiCl. So we looked at the price of both of this chemical CaCl2 cost 6.55$ per 500g and LiCl cost 32.75$ per 500g because CaCl2 was substantially cheaper we decide to chose it to use in own hand warmer. We calculated that it would take 22g of CaCl2 to create a 20oC increase in temperature of 100ml of water. Some sources of error in this lab, would be heat escape from not be able to replace the lid of the calorement went adding chemical into it, inaccuracies in the balance, and not waiting of the proper time to recode the

Then the scientist will observe the different rates of reaction with temperature. The Boltzmann distribution of law, indicates that high temperature makes molecules gain high energy contents (pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja). In order to measure the reaction rate, the scientists must use the same volume of water at three different starting temperatures: hot tap

The Effect of Alkaseltzer Tablets on the Boiling Point of Water Zackary Zambrano Chemistry Honors Mrs.Gregor Period-3 10/5/16 Introduction Statement of Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to see whether or not alkaseltzer tablets have an effect on the boiling point of 100 mL of water. The control is just water, the variable groups are 100 mL of water with one tablet, and 100 mL of water with two tablets. “What exactly is boiling? The technical definition is what occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid is greater than or equal to the atmospheric pressure. ”(Lopez,k) Simply put water, boils when enough energy is released to cause bubbles and then turn to vapor.

The temperature probe was kept in the calorimeter until the temperature had been stabilized and was calibrated. A beaker was placed on a hot plate with dial turned between three and four. Another 100.00 ml of deionized water was added while the beaker is heating up. Using the temperature probe, the beaker was measured

The mass of an 11 dram vial was taken before and after it was filled with 15 mL of distilled water, resulting in a mass of 29.9667 grams without the distilled water and 44.7771 grams with the distilled water. The looped wire was inserted into the 11 dram vial, to be used for stirring. The 11 dram vial was then submerged into the ice bath, and the Vernier temperature probe was immersed into the 11 dram vial. Once the temperature of the distilled water reached 10°C, the temperature was recorded every 10 seconds. After the data was collected, the 11 dram vial was brought back to room temperature.

Introduction The intent of this experiment is to understand how hot and cold water interact with each other by combining clear hot water and black ice cold water. I hope to learn more about how hot and cold water interact with each other. As of now, I know that cold water is denser than hot water. Knowing this I formed my hypothesis.

A liquid will boil at the same temperature, and many different liquids have boiling points that are much different from one another. This fact can be used not only to distinguish/identify liquids, but also to separate liquids in a mixture. Though boiling point is constant according to substance, boiling point and air pressure vary directly. This means that boiling point is lower at high altitudes than at sea

A boiling point of a substance is dependent on the temperature at which the substance can change its matter, such as liquid to gas. The molecules present in liquid are tightly compressed together, though they are still moving and colliding. If the liquid is heated, there is a rise in temperature which generates vibrations throughout the liquid, resulting in more collisions between molecules (Helmenstine, 2017). Once the collisions between the molecules become quite intense and rapid, boiling starts to take place. There are molecules that are so powerful, they break through the attraction forces that keep the molecules together, this is called intermolecular forces (Ophardt, 2013).

So, when salt water is heated, the appeal between water molecules are broken down, but the appeal between salt particles are not. This is why the water molecules will begin to become vapor, leaving the salt particles. In nature, even though salt can dissolve in water, you never completely get rid of the salt. It either exists in its solid state or as a liquid matter in water. Brewing coffee is a way to get the natural flavors out of coffee beans, which are roasted, to enjoy as a hot, invigorating drink.

However, it is now known that that is not the fact, and that adding salt will do the opposite and make the water boil more slowly instead.

In this experiment, the amount of water lost in the 0.99 gram sample of hydrated salt was 0.35 grams, meaning that 35.4% of the salt’s mass was water. The unknown salt’s percent water is closest to that of Copper (II) Sulfate Pentahydrate, or CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O. The percent error from the accepted percent water in CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O is 1.67%, since the calculated value came out to be 0.6 less than the accepted value of 36.0%.This lab may have had some issues or sources of error, including the possibility of insufficient heating, meaning that some water may not have evaporated, that the scale was uncalibrated, or that the evaporating dish was still hot while being measured. This would have resulted in convection currents pushing up on the plate and making it seem lighter by lifting it up

The mixture was then distilled. When the temperature was reached to about 59℃, half vial of distillate (1V) and 1 mL of the liquid residue (1L) were collected. For 61.0℃, the distillation was then continued. Samples (2V, 2L) were taken at about 61.0℃.

That is, the higher the temperature of the solvent (water), the more solute (salt) that will dissolve in it. In this experiment, we will study the solubility of potassium nitrate (KNO3) in water.
