Hydraulic fracturing is a process commonly known as “Fracking,” implemented by the oil and gas industry today. Fracking is the extraction of oil and natural gas trapped inside shale deposits stored thousands of feet underground. The process begins when a borehole is drilled roughly 1.5 miles beneath the surface of …

The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether or not salt would affect the boiling point of water. Much of the research I conducted rejected my hypothesis which stated: if I add salt to water, then the boiling point of the water will decrease. Factors such as colligative properties …
