The Boiling Point of Water
September 10, 2012
Mr. Salois
1st Period
Purpose
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the boiling point of water is 100 oC in
Center Point, TX.
Procedure
The materials for this experiment include the following: 100 ml beaker, a hot plate, 50
ml of distilled water, goggles, beaker tongs, and a thermometer.
Put on the goggles and place the 50 ml of water into the 100 ml beaker. Place the
beaker on the hot plate and then place the thermometer into the water. Turn on the
hot plate and then monitor the beaker for bubbles. The first sign of bubbles signals
the boiling point has been reached. Once bubbles are seen, immediately record the
temperature.
Repeat the experiment Three more times for accuracy. After the experiment is
completed turn off the hot plate and use the beaker tongs to remove the beaker from
the hotplate.

Conclusion
According to the observations of the experiment, the hypothesis that water
will boil at 100 oC in Center Point, TX is supported. This experiment was
conducted so that the data will be available for future experiments.
Other factors that could have affected the results of the experiment are :
atmospheric pressure, use of a hot plate rather than a burner, and type of
thermometer used.

The Boiling Point of Water
September 10, 2012
Mr. Salois
1st Period
Purpose
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the boiling point of water is 100 oC in
Center Point, TX.
Procedure
The materials for this experiment include the following: 100 ml beaker, a hot plate, 50
ml of distilled water, goggles, beaker tongs, and a thermometer.
Put on the goggles and place the 50 ml of water into the 100 ml beaker. Place the
beaker on the hot plate and then place the thermometer into the water. Turn on the
hot plate and then monitor the beaker for bubbles. The first sign of bubbles signals
the boiling point has been reached. Once bubbles are seen, immediately record the
temperature.
Repeat the experiment Three more times for accuracy. After the experiment is
completed turn off the hot plate and use the beaker tongs to remove the beaker from
the hotplate.

The Boiling Point of Water
September 10, 2012
Mr. Salois
1st Period
Purpose
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the boiling point of water is 100 oC in
Center Point, TX.
Procedure
The materials for this experiment include the following: 100 ml beaker, a hot plate, 50
ml of distilled water, goggles, beaker tongs, and a thermometer.
Put on the goggles and place the 50 ml of water into the 100 ml beaker. Place the
beaker on the hot plate and then place the thermometer into the water. Turn on the
hot plate and then monitor the beaker for bubbles. The first sign of bubbles signals
the boiling point has been reached. Once bubbles are seen, immediately record the
temperature.
Repeat the experiment Three more times for accuracy. After the experiment is
completed turn off the hot plate and use the beaker tongs to remove the beaker from
the hotplate.

According to the observations of the experiment, the hypothesis that water
will boil at 100 oC in Center Point, TX is supported. This experiment was
conducted so that the data will be available for future experiments.
Other factors that could have affected the results of the experiment are :
atmospheric pressure, use of a hot plate rather than a burner, and type of
thermometer used.
