TABLE SHOWING TEMPERATURE OF THE WATER IN THE EXPERIMENT.

Graphs:
● Graph of Temperature (y-axis) versus Time (x-axis) for Fresh Water and Sea Water.

Discussion:
Define boiling points, melting points and freezing points.

Fresh Water Sea Water

Boiling Point (°C)

Melting Point (°C)

Freezing Point (°C)

State the boiling points and melting points of sea and fresh water in a comparison. E.g the boiling point
of fresh water was __ while the boiling point of sea water was __.

Precautions:
● Gloves were worn when handling hot containers to prevent burns.
● Lab coats were worn to prevent burn to skin.
Error:
● Water was spilled accidently during the experiment

Conclusion:
To conclude, in fresh water the boiling was __, the melting point was __, and the freezing point was __.
In sea water the boiling point was __, the melting point was __, and the freezing point was __.
