Yes but if you have a higher temp you should be releasing more energy you couldn't have the same result with water vs a solution. Somehow there should be a change more energy in = more energy out.
It's been a while for me but I am thinking that because we have a higher boiling point the steam would be at a higher temperature thus increasing the pressure in the tube. Therefore we should have an increase of kinetic energy. I'm just trying to make sure we have a valid conclusion.
Homework Statement
My son picked a science experiment for his 5th grade project. It was supposed to be on evaporation. Basically a steam powered boat with candles heating up a cigar tube with a hole for the steam to escape and push the boat. However he got ambitious and changed the...
