The Scientific Method

Aim: to compare the boiling point of tap water and salt water

Hypothesis: I think salt water will be higher because the salt might give ti a boost

Equipment:
150 mls of tap water
2 teaspoons of salt
2 beakers with water
Bunsen burner
Bunsen burner tripod
heat resistant mat
gauze mat
thermometer

Method:

1. collect equipment
2. attach bunsen burner to a gas tap
3. fill two beakers with water
4. add salt to one beaker and mix
5. place the beaker with tap water on the tripod
6. place bunsen burner on the heat mat under neath
7. light the bunsen burner and adjust the flame to blue
8. as it heats up place the thermometer in the beaker of water until it is boiling
9. record results on blog
10. repeat the process with salt water

findings:

Tap water: The tap water boiled at 100 degrees.

Salt water: The salt water boiled at 99 degrees.
So the tap water boiled higher.
