What is boiling?How does salt affect it?

Answer 1

Boiling is a process which change from a liquid state to gaseous state.And it occurs at a certain point,called the boiling point.A liquid boils at a temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the pressure of the gas above it. The lower the pressure of a gas above a liquid, the lower the temperature at which the liquid will boil. With add-in of salt,which increases the density of the liquid,thus the boiling point will be affected and it will increase.

Answer 2

Boiling is the change of state from a liquid to a gas. In boiling the whole substance heats up. Specific substances have specific boiling points. Water has a boiling point at 100C Salt has a boiling point much higher than water. Thus, for the boiling of the mixture of salt and water the boiling point will increase because the both some of the salt and some of the water has to heat up greatly.

Answer 3

Boiling is changing a liquid to a gas. Salt can speed up this process, but not unless you add a lot of it. Adding a pinch of salt to a pot of water does nothing; you would need to add like a cup of salt to affect the boiling. What it does is lower the boiling temperature itself.

Answer 4

It is the temperature where a liquid becomes a gas. Salt changes water and requires the temperature to be either more or less to boil.
