the percentage of salt in the water
The one you change. The thing you change e.g. The amount of water you use to dissolve salt is the independent variable. It also goes on the x axis
No.
you can conduct the experiment but it will not prove anything because you will not have anything to compare it to. For example, if you soak a potato in salt water and it grows in size, how would you know if it was the water or the salt that made it grow? You would have to soak a potato in plain water and one in salt water to see what happens.
salt water has more mass because of the added salt so salt is heavier :)
The quantity of salt added to water is under your control and it will change the boiling point of water,i,e. the temperature of water. So quantity of salt is an independent variable while the temperature of water is dependent variable, when other factors are kept constant.
The independent variable in this experiment is the amount of table salt added to the boiling water. The effect of adding salt to the water is to raise the boiling point of the water, therefore increasing the temperature at which the water boils.
The independent variable! =] the dependent variable is what is changed by the independent variable... Eg... And a bad one at that lol... But the affect of salt on the boiling point of water... Salt is independent variable... Dependent is the boiling point =]
An independent variable in science is the part of an experiment that you are purposely changing. For example, if you were to do an experiment on what type of water is best for plants, then the "special water", which might be salt water is the independent variable.
I dont know about the control but the independent variable is the amount of salt water and the dependent variable is the amount of water and salt rendered.

Salt water, but the water will stop boiling because upon adding the salt it raised the boiling point of water.
The independent variable is the amount of salt, while the dependent variable is the freezing point of the solution. By increasing the amount of salt (independent variable), the freezing point (dependent variable) of the solution decreases, following the colligative properties of solutions.
No, salt does not evaporate in boiling water. When water boils, it turns into steam, leaving behind the salt in the water. Salt does not have a low enough boiling point to evaporate along with the water.
If you're talking about regular old table salt, then your answer is salt water--specifically boiling salt water.
