III. MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES

MATERIALS
1 – Bunsen Burner 1 – 50 mL Graduated Cylinder
1 – Tripod Deionized water
1 – wire gauze 15% salt solution
3 – 100 mL beaker 50% sugar solution
1 – thermometer (0ºC-100 ºC) cork (for thermometer)
Clamp condenser 1 – Crucible tongs
PROCEDURES
1.) Set up the Bunsen burner, tripod, beaker, and wire gauze. See the figure below.
2.) Prepare the following solution: deionized water, 15% salt solution, 50% sugar solution.
3.) Place 50 mL of deionized water on the top of the iron ring tripod with the Bunsen burner
below.
4.) Heat until the deionized water starts to boil. Measure the temperature at which the water
starts to boil. Record in the table.
5.) Do the same for the salt solution and sugar solution.

VI. DISCUSSIONS
The boiling point is an important property of a substance that can be used to identify the
substance or determine the purity of it. Pure substances have a sharp boiling point while
solutions may show multiple or broad range of boiling temperatures. Boiling point is an intensive
property which does not depend on the amount of substance.
