What types of equipment would be used to measure the boiling point of a liquid?
You need two tools. To measure the air pressure you use a barometer and to measure the temperature at which the substance boils you use a thermometer. The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
Is water boiling in a kettle a chemical or physical change?
a physical becauseb it does not effect the chemical make up
Which boils quicker liquid with high boiling point or liquid with low boiling point?
The liquid with low boiling point.
What is the mass and capacity in liquid in a thermometer?
This depends on the thermometer model.
What was the first liquid used in a thermometer?
The first thermometer was a tube filled with water and air.
What is the effect of an insoluble solid such as glass on the boiling temperature of a liquid?
If the solid is insoluble, it will have little or no effect on the boiling point. If it is soluble, it will raise the boiling point.
What are the Sources of error in distillation?
boiling chips are not added to the distillation flask. the thermometer bulb is placed in the boiling liquid. the water to the water-jacketed condenser is not turned on.
What is the effect when heat is added to a liquid?
Temperature rises, liquid starts boiling becoming vapor
What is the use of thermometer in distillation?
1. The thermometer in the still head measures the boiling point of the liquid in the distillate. We can be sure of this because the boiling point of the boiling flask will vary based on how many compounds are in it. The thermometer measures the temperature of the vapor at the top of the column; this vapor will be cooled through the condenser and will condensate in the graduated cylinder at the product end of the apparatus. Therefore we are measuring the boiling point of the distillate vapor that is being condensed and collected.

When is the freezing point of a liquid?
effect of pressure and impurties on the freezing and boiling point of liquids
What is the effect of a soluble and nonvolatile impurity on the boiling point of a liquid?
The presence of a non-volatile solute in a solution increases its boiling point. The amount of the elevation of the boiling point depends only on the number of molecules of solute present, and not on their identity. See the article entitled "Boiling-point elevation" on Wikipedia for the maths involved.
What is the liquid in thermometer's called?
Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.
Effects in boiling point when sand is added to an organic liquid?
Sand is pretty inert, so it should have very little effect. However, if some of the sand does dissolve in the liquid, it would raise the boiling point of the liquid.
Effect on thermometer reading if the thermometer is removed from the liquid when thermometer is being read?
It would depend on a contingency of variables. Being, how hot is the substance that it is being removed from, the temperature of the room, how long it takes from the time removed from the liquid until it is read, and the type of thermometer reading device.
What causes the liquid to move in a thermometer?
When the liquid in the thermometer gets warmer it expands.
Is water boiling in a kettle a chemical or physical change?
a physical becauseb it does not effect the chemical make up
