Pre-Lab Worksheet:

Salt and Water Boiling

  1. Do you think the boiling point of the solution will increase or decrease as more salt is added? Explain the reason(s) for your hypothesis.




  2. What is the uncertainty of the Vernier temperature probe?




  3. What is the uncertainty of the measurement in the liquid volume?




  4. What is the uncertainty of the measurement of the solid salt?




  5. Calculate the concentration of a salt water solution that is 50grams of salt in 1000ml of water. Record your answer in (grams of salt)/(ml of water).




  6. Now calculate the salt mass percent of the solution, again using 50.0grams of salt and 750.0ml of water.
