Prior The students should have gained initial experimental experience in using the Bunsen
knowledge burner.
Scientific In this experiment, water and saline solutions are brought to the boil. The students
measure the respective boiling temperatures and plot them on a diagram. Group work
principle and a joint evaluation of the experiment were suitable for this experiment.
objective Contaminated substances have a different boiling point than the respective pure
substance.
Determination of the average boiling temperatures of the various salt solutions and
plotting of the measured values in a diagram.

Set-up (3/3)
Insert the thermometer into a hole in the rubber plug after sliding it
with a drop of glycerine.
Insert the angle tube into the other hole of the plug.
Close the Erlenmeyer flask with the plug prepared in this way and
move the thermometer until it is immersed in the water to a depth of
approx. 3 cm.
Procedure (1/2)
Carefully heat the water with the burner until it begins to boil.
Now and every 30 seconds thereafter, measure the temperature for five
minutes and enter the values in Table 1.
Let the water cool down a little and carefully open the Erlenmeyer flask.

Procedure (2/2)
Take one of the salt portions (10 g, 20 g, 30 g) given out by the teacher
Pour the cooking salt into the water with a spoon spatula
disposal:
The salt solutions can be added to the container for acids and alkalis.
