I am working on my Science Fair project and this is my question.  I have 
hypothesised that liquids with a higher viscosity would boil quicker.  In 
my experiment with syrup, liquid dish soap, and water, if found that my 
hypothesis is correct.  I am having difficulty finding any information to 
explain why this happens.
