Boiling Point

Objectives/Goals

If I boil water, sugar and salt solution which one will have the highest boiling point? How does thermal energy break the molecular bonds?

Methods/Materials

  • A pan; 
  • Water - 1 liter ( 4 cups);
  • Sugar solution- 1cup of sugar in 1 liter of water; 
  • Salt solution- 1 cup of salt in 1 liter of water;
  • A thermometer;
  • A stop watch; 
  • Stove.


1. Take one third of water in a pan. 

2. Place a thermometer in the pan. 

3. Place the pan on a stove. 

4.Then turn on the stove and start the stop watch. 

5. Check temperature of water every 30 seconds.

Continue till the water boils and temperature remains steady for some time. That temperature is the boiling point of water. Repeat the experiment with Sugar solution and Salt solution. Record the temperature every 30 seconds on the table. Thus we can find which liquid has the highest boiling point.

Results

In my data, at 1 minute the salt solution had the highest, it was 36 degree Celsius. Water was 30 degree Celsius, and sugar solution was 34 degree Celsius. At 6-10 minute all solution had reached its boiling point. For water it was 100 degree Celsius, for sugar solution it was 104 degree Celsius and with the highest boiling point salt solution had 106 degree Celsius

More heat energy was needed to break the ionic bond in salt solution than the covalent bond in sugar solution so the boiling point of salt solution was higher.

Conclusions/Discussion

My hypothesis was if I boil the water, sugar solution and salt solution, the sugar solution will have the highest boiling point, because sugar molecules are larger. But the salt solution has the highest boiling point.

Boiling point elevation states that a solution has a higher boiling point than the pure solvent. A solution has a higher boiling point because the intermolecular forces have been increased and increasing the boiling point. Hence, it takes more heat to raise the solution to 1 atom (normal boiling point) than would the pure solvent.

Make a Rocket

Rockets are fascinating!  They soar into the sky and help us know many secrets. Are you fascinated by rockets? If your answer is yes, you would be interested in this activity. The rockets that you can make safely will not go very far, perhaps much less then the rockets we enjoy on the Deepawali day. But then you will agree, the fun and excitement to make your own rocket has a totally different dimension.  The basic principle of rocketry is Newton's Third Law of Motion, that is, "For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction".  A big rocket uses chemicals to release an intense stream of gas out its tail end that propels it upwards.  A fuel is used in a rocket to produce this gas through some chemical reaction. The rocket fuel is sometimes liquid, and sometimes solid.  But, in all cases, a gas is ejected from the tail of the rocket. The first kind of rocket that we can make is propelled by a very safe gas - carbon dioxide.  The fuel it uses is

Make a Periscope

Are you familiar with the word "submarine"? A submarine is a kind of boat that moves underwater. Submarines are common crafts for the Naval forces of any country. But, while moving underwater, submarines need to know where they are with respect to other objects on the surface of water. The device they use to do this is called a periscope.  Periscopes are optical instruments that can afford submariners a limited though vital visual picture outside their windowless hull. Traditionally, periscopes offered the submerged submarine its only glimpse of the outside world. Classic English war movies have also made them the submarine's most familiar feature.  For most of us, who are unlikely to come across submarines in real life, a periscope can make it possible to see round corners and over the heads of crowds during processions or at sporting occasions. In a periscope, two mirrors are arranged at 45 degrees to each other. One mirror captures the rays of light from t
