Water now boils at 176 degrees! Doom! | |

BRIEF AND TO THE POINT  User ID: 381742 United States01/25/2011 12:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ...you can raise the boiling point by adding salt... Quoting: BRIEF AND TO THE POINT'tis the other way around. Adding salt to water just beginning to boil will produce an immediate rolling boil. Adding salt lowers the boiling point. If you throw it in at the point of boiling you are aerating the water and causing the release of more gas, but that doesn't change the physics of it... Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

Then keep us posted with your findings. I don't know really how an open system like that would work, but I believe that bigger pressure would reduce the boiling point, right? At least this works for closed thermodynamic systems |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1064613I need to go to Walgreen's and buy another thermometer to duplicate my results. I need more evidence before i release the news to the mainstream. BRB Have you calibrated the bitherm? If not put the stem in a glass of ice water, if it does not read 32 then it's off and needs adjustment. |

| Fine Material User ID: 1155915 United States01/25/2011 12:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's way more likely the water isn't pure. A little calcium or salt in the water will have a big effect. Retry with distilled water. Last Edited by Fine Material on 01/25/2011 12:29 PM |

But just I've said, your thermometer is probably not so accurate. I was working in a company that we had to do temperature measurement and you cannot imagine how hard it is for different applications to use different sensors that are very susceptible to inaccuracies due to wrong calibrations or due to wrong driving circuitry. |

I can imagine. Every Bank I drive by around here has a different temperature. Yeap, that's why I suggested something that it is used for industrial purposes rather than a commercial one. These sensors are not linear at all and they are a PITA for most of the non specialized (in sensors) engineers since they have to design special driving circuitry that compensates (not totally accurate though) for the non linearity of the sensors. If you try to search for books on electronics and sensors, you'll get confused by the amount of them, since it is a hot and difficult topic especially when you actually have a real problem to solve. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1242884 United States01/25/2011 12:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The earth atmospheric pressure has dropped by %6. It is caused by a decreasing magnetosphere. Quoting: Anonymous Cward 1064613Boil some water. It now boils at 176 degrees. Major doom. Just boiled an egg to test it out. Tasty but quick. Boiling itself is not what cooks the egg, it's the heat...you can raise the boiling point by adding salt...also every pound of pressure added increases the boiling point by three degrees... Good information, Mom. Unfortunately I have to play that role too... where's the wife |
