OK , I tested the boiling question. Without salt. it took my electric stove set on high. 2,54 mintues to boil 2 cups of water. using a different burner, pot, the same amout of water (2 cups) added one tsp of salt. It took 2.4 mintues to reach boiling point. Not a great differenace. but still a differance
as for the mass question. That's a little bit more tricky. the mass is the same. this is true. however the particles are so spaced out in the container that it effects the weight. so the truth should hold the same for liquid. I would have to do more research to confirm it though.
nice idea for a thread. thanks
