Why Does Water Boil Quicker When Salt Is Added?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    When salt is added to pure water, the boiling point gets changed as impurities are added and therefore water boils quicker after addition of salt.

      Water boils due to small imperfections in the surface of the container that it is in. If you had a perfectly smooth surface it would boil at a much higher temperature . Once you break that tension it forms a bubble and boils thus adding salt breaks that tension faster and the bubbles form at a faster rate
