What happens if you put boiling water and salt?
adding salt raises the boiling point of water which can help speed cooking time.
What happens when you put salt into a cup of water?
It lowers the boiling point, and makes it "salt water".
How do you keep your vegetables green while cooking?
Depending on the vegetables, you can steam them or Blanche them. (Where you put vegetables in boiling water, then put them in ice cold water)
How can salt be boiled?

When is the best time to put salt and meat to the water before boiling or when it is boiling?
It's best to put it in RIGHT BEFORE it's boiling. Time it out right so that when the water is just beginning to bubble, drop it in.
How much salt do you put in to make the water boil faster?
Adding salt to water will make it take longer for the water to boil. You should wait until the water is already boiling to add salt.
Can pepper raise the water's boiling point?
No, pepper cannot. But salt can. Just put it at the bottom of the pot and boil whatever you need. It will start boiling the water quicker
What happens when you stir salt into boiling water?
Adding table salt to water causes the water to boil at a higher temperature salt can change. Salt can change the specific heat of the system so that the salt like solution has a higher heat capacity.
Do you put salt in water when boiling eggs?
Adding salt to water when you boil foods is for the purpose of flavor only. I don't add salt to water when boiling foods. That began because of a low sodium diet but now if salt is added to the water the food tastes too salty to me. If you add salt or how much salt you add is a personal choice for your taste preference.
What happens when you put salt in boiling water?
The water evaporates and the salt remains in the beakerIt really depends on what you are trying to find out. If you want to know the effect of salt on the boiling point of water, then the answer is that salt water will boil at a higher temperature than pure water. So we can say that salt increases the boiling point of water, which is normally 100 degrees C.If you just want the observations of boiling salt water, then the answer is that as the water is boiling, it evaporates into the atmosphere as water vapour. So we actually lose water from the beaker (or whatever you are boiling the water in) into the air. If you boil it long enough, the water will eventually be lost altogether and you'll be left with dry salt crystals on the bottom and sides of the beaker.
What happens when you put two trays of salt water and pure water into the freezer?
salt water freezes firast because salt raises boiling and freezing temp
How are boiling and freezing points of a sample of water affected when salt is dissolved in the water?
the freezing and boiling points rise significantly- this is why when you boil water in a saucepan, like for pasta, it is advised that you put salt in the water so that the water boils at a higher temperature, thus allowing you to heat the water to a higher temperature. hope this helps
