Brad investigated whether sea salt raises the boiling point of water. He put 3 liters of water at 20 o C and 1.5 cups of sea salt in a pot, heated the solution over flame, and measured the temperature when the water reached a rolling boil. He repeated the experiment three times and recorded the same result each time. He concluded the sea salt raises the boiling point of water by 5 o C. Where did Brad err in his experiment? A.He did not boil a pot of water without sea salt B.He did not conduct the trials at the same time C.He waited until the water reached a rolling boil D.He should have repeated the measurement several more times
