In general, any time you dissolve a substance in water it
increases the boiling point of the mixture. An example of this is in a car's radiator.
Water alone will boil at 100 degrees C but if you add anti-freeze to it you can increase
the boiling point several degrees higher.
In your
experiment, adding vinegar and sugar to the water should increase the boiling point so
it would take longer than if you were just heating water by itself. The water without
anything else is your control in this experiment. You also need to be sure you use the
same volume each time and heat it exactly the same to test your
hypothesis.
However, oil will probably not affect the
boiling point because the oil will not dissolve in the water. If the density is less
than water it will float on top and if the density is greater it will form a layer on
the bottom.
