THE INTERNATIONAL BOILING POINT PROJECT

1
BOIL, BOIL, TOIL AND TROUBLE

• THE INTERNATIONAL BOILING POINT PROJECT

2
OBJECTIVE

• Through collaboration and experimentation,
  students will discover whether there is a
  correlation between the boiling point of water
  and the elevation at which water is boiled, the
  room temperature where water is boiled, or the
  heating device used to boil water.

3
HYPOTHESIS

• If the room temperature increases, then the
  boiling point of water will occur faster.

4
PROJECT PURPOSE

• What Happens When Water Boils?
• As water boils, the water turns into steam.
  First the water begins to form bubbles at the
  bottom of the beaker. Then the bubbles begin to
  rise and pop off the surface, evaporating into
  the air. Energy is used to transform the water
  from its liquid to its gaseous state. This is
  the BOILING POINT of water.

5
PROJECT PURPOSE

• What Factor Has the Greatest Effect on the
  Boiling Point?
• Data was recorded to determine if the volume
  of water, elevation, heating device, or room
  temperature has the greatest effect on the
  Boiling Point of water.

6
THE EXPERIMENT LOG

• Room Temperature 22 degrees Celsius
• Elevation 21 meters
• Amount of Water 300 milliliters
• Heating Device Bunsen Burner

RESULTS

• BOILING POINT 102.5 degrees Celsius

CONCLUSION

• The purpose of this investigation was to
  determine which factor had the greatest effect on
  the boiling point of water.
• The major finding from this experiment was that
  elevation had the greatest effect.
• The hypothesis If the room temperature
  increases, then the boiling point will occur
  faster, was not supported by the data.

13
CONCLUSION

• A recommendation for further study would be to
  determine if there is any correlation between
  boiling point and air pressure.
