Wow, the experiment is over, all my work is handed in, and I suppose this is my last post on my SRP. So, I actually did learn stuff about boiling point elevation and i've already discussed the purpose of the experiment and what the results showed. Something I forgot to mention on my blog was that I learnt something else new! It's called the v'ant Hoff factor and it played a really big role in my experiment. It is the dissociation factor. In my experiment there was salt- an electrolyte, sugar- a non- electrolyte and baking soda- which became an electrolyte when added to water. The fact that salt and bicarb soda were electrolytes meant that it was expected that they would have higher v'ant Hoff factor and therefore, the boiling point elevation was expected to be higher for them. I already discussed vapour pressure and how it influenced the outcome but even before going into vapour pressure- the intermolecular forces played a big role.
So, a few weeks ago, I didn't even know what vapour pressure was and now the SRP is done and over.
oh btw, did you get the pun in the title? hahahaha, i thought it was very punny :)
