does the amount of sugar (not salt) affect the boiling temperature of water?

Question

Again... not salt. Sugar. Please if someone could answer this confounding brain killing question.

Answer 1

Yes. Anything that can dissolve in water will affect the boiling point. It's called a colligative property of solutions. Boiling point elevation and freezing point suppression are two of the phenomena associated with the colligative properties of solutions. Where pure water will boil at 100C and freeze at 0C, in a sugar/water solution, the water may boil at 110C and freeze at -20C.

Answer 2

The water itself would boil at a lower temperature, because adding solute increases the boiling point of a solvent (in this case, sugar or msg in water).

Answer 3

Any dissolved particles or ions (solute) in water will affect both the boiling point as well as the freezing point. The effect depends only on the concentration of the solute, not on the identity of the solute. This is called colligative property of solutions. You can trust me because I am a PhD in chemistry.

Answer 4

Of course it does. Not in the same extend as salt, because sugar does not dissociates in water, but it also elevates the boiling point of water.

Answer 5

yes, of course. ANY solute (like salt or sugar or any substance) will affect the boiling point of water.

Answer 6

Of cource! The more the sugar the higher the boiling temprature

Answer 7

yes, the addition of sugar will rise the boiling point of water.

Here you will find a graph showing the boiling point of water as a function of the sugar concentration (sucrose in this case).

Answer 8

Sugar is non-volatile. So will cause elevation in boiling point. Simple.

Answer 9

no it doesn't affect the boiling point of water

Answer 10

no it does not the boiling point of water does ot change.
