I'm doing a project to test the boiling and freezing point of different types of water. Would the point at which they freeze/boil be affected by the pH level? What else could it be affected by?

. If the water has a pH different than 7, then it has something dissolved in it. Anything dissolved in water will raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.
. Lower pressure upon the surface of water will lower its boiling point. Mechanical pressure on ice will cause it to melt, even though it may remain at or below 32°F/0°C.

tremendously much not all in any commonplace selection of pH values through fact changing pH has little result on the great solids dissolved interior the water. even with the undeniable fact that, at very severe or very low pH levels, say <2 and >12 you will see an result from the replace in boiling factor (an develop). even with the undeniable fact that, even this relies upon upon how the evaporation is being achieved. For a super pond or lake, larger dissolved solids (acid or base) will reason the fee of evaporation to circulate down. to illustrate, evaporation interior the super Salt lake is barely approximately 50% of the evaporation one might assume with organic water. even with the undeniable fact that, for an commercial evaporator, you're able to alter the temperature of the warmth source and the evaporation might nicely be made to stay greater or much less consistent. as nicely, there are small effects from the replace in how water bonds to itself, yet greater often than not those are on the subject matter of the different minerals dissolved interior the water, and to get a pH different than approximately 7 there'll want different minerals dissolved interior the water like sulfate (sulfuric acid) or sodium (sodium hydroxide)

pH won't affect the boil temperature, but what is causing the ph change in the water may affect the freeze temperature. The biggest measurable change in boil temperature can be caused by lowering the pressure, which allows less energy (lower temp) to change from liquid to gas (boil). In the vaccume of space water transition directly from ice to vapor, never becoming liquid water. I hope this helped, Good Luck!
