Lab Title:

"The Effect of Salt on the Boiling Point of Water"

Lab Question:

How does adding salt to water affects it's boiling point?

Prediction :

In this paper, a newly proposed model based on solvation between pure solvent and salt for prediction of salt effect on vapor–liquid equilibria is presented by using only the vapor pressure depression data of pure solvent+salt systems that compose the mixed solvent with salt system

Materials :

200 mL of distilled water,
2 beakers,
5grams of salt, beaker tongs, retort stand, thermometer, wire gauze,
2 ring clamps, bunsen burner, graduated cylinder, rubber stopper,and stopwatch. Procedure :

1. Boil 200ml of distilled water on a beaker.
2. Measure the temperature of the boiling water. Record the highest temperature reading.

Measure out table salt using a digital scale.
4. Add the measured salt to the boiling water and stir.
5. Measure the temperature of the boiling water with the salt in it. Record the highest temperature reading.
6. Repeat it now with two spoons of salt.

Observations and Collecting Data: Qualitative and Quantitative:(Distilled Water)

We started observing the distilled water. In just 2 minutes, tiny bubles appeared. In about 3 minutes the temperature was 45°C, more tiny bubbles. It started smoking and mist is starting to form in the container. The smoke are rising in just about 7 minutes. In 8 minutes more smoke are rising at 60°C. In 11 minutes every molecules in the beaker went or stick to the thermometer. In 14 minutes the temperature was at 80°C. When it was 18 minutes, bigger bubbles appeared and in 20 minutes the boiling point starts.We removed the water from the heat. The water decreased about 198 mL

Qualitative and Quantitative (Distilled water with Salt)

When the salt was added to boiling water it bubbled up more, and then stopped boiling. Shortly afterwards, it boiled

    In this experiment, the molecular weight of a condensed vapor was found through a procedure using an unknown liquid. The flask before adding the unknown liquid in was full of air. After the beaker full of water started to boil the flask was examined until the unknown liquid was completely vaporized. At that exact point the flask contained all vapor. At the final weighing the flask contained condensed vapor and air. There is always a chance for error. Some sources of error could have come with completing this lab over an open water bath and some water vapor may have been in place. Also, too much vapor could have escaped and the experiment might not have been stopped quick…

    In the experiment, we tested a sodium chloride solution. Along with the tested solution, control groups (water and sodium phosphate) were used to be help understand whether or not NaCl was a buffer. Water was the negative control group and sodium phosphate was the positive control group. If NaCl was a buffer than the pH would be stabled as the sodium phosphate buffer. If NaCl was not a buffer than the pH would fluctuate like the negative control, water. During the first trial and prior to the drops of 0.5 M of HCl acid, the pH of sodium chloride was 7.50. After the addition of 5 drops of 0.5 M of HCl, the pH decreased by 4.83 and ended at 2.67 on the pH scale. When comparing the results of the sodium chloride to the control groups, the total pH change of sodium phosphate was only…

    Specific heat and climate were the primary focus of this lab. Specific heat is defined as “the measure of the ability of a substance to change temperature”. The purpose for carrying out this lab was to determine the specific heat/rates of both soil and water, and then comparing them. Students also were to relate specific heat to climate. Students were to determine which substance expressed a higher specific heat by using the formula, (q=m*Δt*c). Then they were to explain how specific heat and climate are in relation to one another.…

    The purpose of the Density Lab was to determine the identity of four unknown solids and two unknown liquids by calculating their densities and comparing them to a density chart, taking into account error analysis and finally classifying the substances. In order to calculate this density, we first found the mass of the container that was to be holding the substances. We then found the volume of the substance, and lastly determined the mass of the container and substance. We subtracted (Container + Substance) – Container to find the mass of simply the substance. In order to distinguish density, we took the final mass divided by the volume, and identified the substances based on Density Charts we found online. Originally we hypothesized that we would be able to identify these substances based on the densities we calculated, yet this proved to be harder than it seemed, however our hypothesis was correct. We now could concluded the densities and identification. The density of Unknown Liquid 1 was 1.26 which was found to be Colorless Glycerin (also density of 1.26) and Unknown Liquid 2 was 0.88 or Rubbing Alcohol (colorless). Unknown Solid 1 has a density of 7.20 or Iron, Solid 2 is 2.59 and Aluminum, Solid 3 is 5.47 and Tin, while Solid 4 has a density of 9.81and Nickel? We…
