The boiling point on saltwater is normally 100 degrees Celsius, (212 Fahrenheit).

But it depends on how much salt there is; the more salt, the longer it takes, less salt, less time.

Hope that helped!

That depends on the concentration of salt. As the concentration increases the boiling point will increase. For NaCl the increase is roughly equal to:

(0.97 * number of moles of NaCl)/ mass of H2O

It depends greatly on the salinity of the water.

Pure water, is 212F/100C....

Add a tablespoon of salt per gallon, and dissolve. the boiling point will increase a few degrees.

Add salt to saturation, and boiling temperature will rise significantly.

Supersaturate water with salt, and the boiling point will rise even more.

I am sure there's a chart somewhere in some chemistry book listing salinity vs boiling/freezing points... but I am going to GUESS that salty pasta water will probably have a boiling point around 230-250F.

Boiling point is a dependency on many factors, but generally as a solvent gains aqueous atoms the vapor pressure of the solution is more readily raised to combat that pressure the atmosphere is pushing down upon the solution therefore causing the water to boil at a lower temperature.

I have been doing some experiments, and the boiling temperature of saltwater appears to be around 110* and 111* (degrees) Celsius. I may be wrong, but this is pretty close, I hope.

when boiling water you will need to add salt to make it boil faster.so yes it does help the boiling point

well that was stupid. The answer is 150 degress C.

Does salt lower the boiling point?

Yes, Salt also lowers the freezing point of water, and lowers the boiling point of water. Add salt to a boiling pot of water and it immediately boils faster/harder at the location that the Salt hit the water.


What effect does salt have on hot water?

Salt raises the boiling point of water. The process is known as boiling point elevation. The higher the concentration of salt in the water, the higher the boiling point of water is raised.


Does salt evaporate in boiling water?

The boiling point of salt is much much higher than the boiling point of water. So the salt stays behind while the temperature of the water remains at the boiling point of water.


Can salt water is used to determine the boiling point of water?

No, salt water cannot be used to accurately determine the boiling point of ultrapure water. Salt water boils at a slightly higher temperature than pure water; salt water can be used to determine the boiling point of salt water.


Goes salt lower boiling temperature of water?

Salt will lower the melting point, and raise the boiling point of water.


What does the boiling of salt water compare to the boiling point of fresh water?

The boiling point of freshwater is lower than the boiling point of saltwater.


After Felix adds salt to the boiling water what will he have in the pot?

Salt water, but the water will stop boiling because upon adding the salt it raised the boiling point of water.

Why pure water is less time to boil than water with salt?

The boiling point of pure water is lower than the boiling point of a water-salt solution, so it takes takes longer to heat the water-salt solution to its boiling point.


What is the boiling point of salt water?

It depends on the concentration of salt in the water.


What are the procedures for fresh water evaporates faster than salt water?
