Boiling Point Teacher Resources

Explore the properties of solutions with a lab activity. Chemistry fans determine the boiling point of water, add salt to create a solution, and then repeat the process four more times. They design their own data table and then graph the...

Have you ever wondered why cities in cold climates put salt on the roads to help keep ice from forming? In this chemistry video, Sal explains why the introduction of salt molecules suppresses, or delays, the formation of ice crystals...

Francis Raoult discovered the change in boiling points of solutions varies by the number of particles in the solution. Scholars apply the concept to determine the molality of a solution based on the change in boiling point. They use an...

Here is an attractive instructional activity that walks chemistry learners through a review of aqueous solutions. There are matching, short answer, and multiple choice questions dealing with boiling and freezing points, precipitate,...

Here is a general chemistry worksheet that incorporates practical applications. Four questions employ critical thinking about solutions, boiling and freezing points, and molar mass. Your class will practice what they learn in class by...

Anyone that lives around snow knows that adding salts to water increases its melting point. Are there solutes that affect the boiling point as well? A scientific experiment has learners add different solutes to water and then...

Characteristics of each state of matter are listed, the formulas for heating water are detailed, and values for boiling and heat of vaporization are presented. This simple slide show provides direct instruction as well as practice...

Amateur chemists define and describe properties of solutions, compare solubilities, explain how solutes affect freezing and boiling points, describe acid and base properties, and more! This educational PowerPoint provides information and...

In this molality and colligative properties worksheet, students determine the molality of solutions and they calculate freezing point depressions and boiling point elevations of solutions.

How can you relate colligative properties of solutions to everyday situations? Pupils first discuss the concepts of density, boiling and freezing points, then demonstrate how to accurately determine the boiling and freezing point of...

Keeping items cool in boiling water... what? This engaging activity challenges high school learners to build a container that keeps butter in a solid state when placing the container in boiling water. Groups use previous knowledge and...

Advanced chemistry kids experiment with the freezing and boiling points of various aqueous solutions. They also prepare a presentation of the kinetics of solution formation and structure of the matter involved. This resource provides...

As to be expected from the American Chemical Society Olympiad Examinations Task Force, this 60-question test tops the charts in terms of excellence. It consists entirely of multiple choice questions designed to assess a year's worth of...

Heat up your lessons on boiling points. The resource provides a three-part activity: first, groups find the boiling point of solutions; second, they create boiling point curves for salt and sugar solutions; and third, they mix a solution...

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Explore the cumbustion reactions driving the world's automobiles and the chemical solutions used to keep their engines cool with this fun instructional video.

In this chemistry learning exercise, learners determine the vapor pressure of a solution when dissolved in water at a set temperature. Then they determine the vapor pressure of this solution at a higher temperature. Students also explain...

Aqua regia, or royal water in Latin, is a solvent that can dissolve solid gold and platinum into a solution. Activity nine in a series of 36 allows classes to learn, through readings and answering questions, what a solution is and the...

Hate to vacuum, but enjoy using a vacuum pump? Explore a lesson that starts with a demonstration of boiling water at various temperatures by using a vacuum pump. Then scholars design their own experiments to measure vapor pressure and...

The National Chemistry Olympiad exams are comprehensive tests covering an entire  year of chemistry concepts. You can use them as practice for competing in the challenge, or simply as a review, or as an actual final exam for your...

This 60-question comprehensive exam was designed to determine who would go on to compete in the 2000 US National Chemistry Olympiad. Hopefuls answer multiple choice questions regarding all chemistry topics taught in the first year...

In this water worksheet, students review the properties of water including the density, boiling point, and evaporation. Students define mixture, solute, and solvent. This worksheet has 22 short answer questions.

Study the properties of solutions as they relate to mixtures. The slide show presents the key concepts involved with solutions including solvents, solutes, solubility, and electrolytes. Scholars learn the basics of the properties of...

In this colligative properties worksheet, students solve eight problems. They calculate molarity, molality and grams of substances in addition to using colligative properties to calculate solutions.

In this aqueous solutions learning exercise, students will conduct an experiment to determine the solubility of different common kitchen items. Students then complete 3 short answer questions.
