Water Vs. Propylene Glycol

[jbass4116]

you are absolutely correct the purpose was to achieve the boiling temp of water faster. the fact remains that if you look at the thermometer the beaker on the left is boiling at a lower temp while the beaker containing the propylene glycol is at a higher temp and isnt boiling... btw its not a burner its a hot plate.

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* yes, the propylene glycol ebullition is in 188,2°C and water ebullitio is 100°C melting 0°C for water annd melting propylene glycol is in -59°C.

habitually, propylene glycol is incolore, and hygroscopic(absorbation with water annd humidity)
