The Effect of Sugar and Salt on the

Boiling Point of Water

Josh and Michael

Materials

Table salt (NaCl) - Solute

Table sugar (C12 H22 O11) - Solute
Water (H2O) - Solvent
Hot plate - heats up water
Electric balance - measures mass of solute
Beakers - hold water while on hot plate
Flask - measures volume of water
Celsius thermometer - measures temperature of water

Effect of table salt or sugar on water
Sugar- When adding sugar to the
solvent, the temperature went down

Salt- When adding salt to the

solvent, the temperature went up
a little bit.
