Question

What effect does salt have on the boiling point of water?

Answer 1

Answer:When salt is added, it makes it harder for the water molecules to escape from the pot and enter the gas phase, which happens when water boils

This gives salt water a higher boiling point

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:Adding salt to water actually raises the boiling point of the water, due to a phenomenon called boiling point elevation. Essentially, adding any non-volatile solute (such as salt, baking soda or sugar) to a liquid causes a decrease in the liquid's vapour pressure.
