PEKA Science Form 2 Topic: Water and solution Aim: To determine boiling point of pure water and water

that is added with salt Materials: Distilled water, salt Apparatus: Bunsen burner, beaker, wire gauze, tripod stand, thermometer Hypothesis: Salt when added to pure water increases the boiling point of pure water Variable: (a) Manipulated: Type of water (b) Responding: Temperature of water (c) Controlled: Volume of water Diagram:

Procedure: 1. The apparatus is set-up as shown in figure. 2. The beaker is heated up 3. The reading of thermometer is recorded for every 2 minutes

Results: Types of water Pure water Pure water + salt Discussion: 1. State the inference for the experiment Dissolved salt increases the boiling point of water 0 2 4 Time (min) 6 8 10 12 14

2. Based on table 1, draw a line graph to show the relationship between time against thermometer reading.

3. Based on the drawn graph, predict the thermometer reading after 12 minutes for (i) (ii) Pure water : ________________________ Pure water + salt: ____________________

4. State the conditions of temperature of water after 10 minutes for (i) (ii) Pure water: __________________________ Pure water + salt: _____________________

5. State the relationship between time and temperature for both activities As time increases the temperature keeps on increases until at certain point it stays constant

6. State the pattern of the graph Increase at earlier state and followed by constant after that.

7. State the meaning of boiling point Boiling point is a state where the temperature stays constant

Conclusion: impurities such as salt increase the boiling point of pure water. The hypothesis is accepted.
