trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim
Adding salt to boiling water increases its boiling point.
the verdict
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
no citation needed for this one
refutedsupported
the weight of evidence
no sources on either side

Adding a non-volatile solute like salt to water elevates its boiling point and depresses its freezing point as a standard colligative property.

The analysis

The claim is a well-established physical law (boiling point elevation, a colligative property) that does not require citation as it is a fundamental piece of common scientific knowledge. None of the retrieved papers specifically target or measure the boiling point elevation of saltwater, leaving the index lists empty while confirming the verdict.
