the question: What boils faster plain water, saltwater or sugar water?

Answer 1

Don't ask us...try it out yourself and let us know what you find!

Answer 2

Adding any impurity to water, increased the time needed for water to boil. so plain water will boil fastest and here is why

The boiling point of water can also be changed by adding impurities in the water. Impurities include salt, sugar, and other dissolving molecules. Generally, impurities increase the boiling point of water. A simple explanation of this is that the impurities dilute the concentration of water (the number of water molecules per unit volume decreases), and the number of molecules that can vaporize at any give temperature decreases. The result is that a higher temperature is required to achieve the same vapor pressure. Concentrated sugar-water solutions that are used for making candies and caramel boil at temperatures exceeding 150 °C.

Answer 3

I know salt slows it down. But once you put something into the water it boils faster. I would go with plain water.

Answer 4

Look up online about specific heat capacites! That should help a lot!

Answer 5

put some salt warter in it boils faster.. why do you think you put some salt in vaperisors

Answer 6

I'm no chemist, but I would put my money on salt water
