Impact of Impurities on Boiling Point

The document summarizes an experiment to study the effect of impurities on the boiling point of distilled water. Distilled water was boiled to determine its boiling point without salt, which was 100°C. Salt was then added as an impurity and the mixture boiled at 102°C, showing that impurities increase the boiling point of water. The hypothesis that the presence of salt would increase the boiling point was accepted based on the results.

Topic : Effect of impurities on the boiling point of a pure liquid Aim Hypothesis Variables (a) Constant (b) Manipulated

(c) Responding Material/Apparatus To study the effect of impurities on the boiling point of distilled water The present of salt increases the boiling point of distilled water Volume/Amount/Quantity of distilled water

Distilled water, salt, 100 cm3 beaker, wire gauze, tripod stand, Bunsen burner, thermometer

Procedure

Thermometer Beaker Distilled water

Heat 1. Distilled water is poured into a beaker until it is half full. 2. The water is heated until it boils. The temperature when the water boils (boiling temperature) is recorded 3. Two spatulas of salt are added into the distilled water and the mixture is heated again. The temperature of the boiling mixture of water and salt is recorded. Results The Presence of salt Absent Present Boiling point of distilled water (oC) 100

102

Discussion

Without impurities the boiling point of distilled water is 100 oC but with the presence of impurities, the boiling point of water is increased. The boiling point of distilled water is increased with the presence of impurities. Hypothesis is accepted
