What happens to the mass of water in a tea kettle when it boils?

The liquid mass is partly converted to a gas (steam, water vapor), so if this escapes, the mass is no longer there.
The steam can, however, be captured and condensed, and used again (as in steam engines).

Why does water bubble when you boil it?
Boiling converts the liquid water to water vapor. The bubbles are the water vapor escaping. As substances warm up, they become less dense, and the less dense something is, the less mass it has, so the water vapour rises to the top. Water in a pan or kettle bubbles like this because the source of heat is at the bottom, so the water near the bottom boils first. If you could somehow heat something from the top down, it probably wouldn't bubble.Water vapor is formed at the heated surface, and tends to coalesce on nucleation sites like an inflating balloon until it is carried to the free surface and released.
How is stoichiometry used to calculate energy absorbed when a mass liquid boils?
Grams liquid × mol/g × Hvap
What physical change happens to the water from the dye solution?
The mass and color would be the only physical or chemical changes that water would undergo when mixed with a dye.
What happens when add water to copper sulphate?
An exothermic reaction occurs (this is when heat is produced). There's a link between the mass of copper sulphate and the temperature rise of the water.
How can a cup of very hot tea have less thermal energy than a kettle of lukewarm water?
Even though the cup has very hot water it still has less thermal energy than the kettle because the kettle is larger than the cup therefor it has more liquid and more liquid = more molecules and the more molecules the more the heat energy ( thermal energy ) It does not matter how fast the particals are moving just how many there are , the cup has a lot less particals than the kettle so it has less thermal energy. This was wrote by an 11 year old just think about that .
Why ethanol with molar mass of 46gmol boils at 78 degree Celsius than water with molar mass og 18gmol boils at 100 degree Celsius?
Hydrogen bonds in water are much stronger than in ethanol. For the same reason the density of the liquid is also higher.
How will you show that air has mass?
There are many ways to prove air has mass. One of them is : Take some water in a closed vessel and heat it till all the water boils. As we know when there is no transfer of particles mass remains constant. Therefore, the mass of the water vapour (air) is equal to the mass of the water taken. Hence, it is proved that air has mass.
What happens to the mass of the water in an irregular object?
Nothing
What happens to an object's mass when it is placed in water?
nothing.
What happens to the mass of water if you add salt?
Salt water is denser than unsalted (fresh) water.
How does the amount of water put into a kettle affect the time it takes to boil?
the more of an object the more the mass in witch takes more time to heat up.
What happens to the mass when water freezes?
No, as long as it is the same peice of ice. The volume and the density change but not the mass
What happens to the mass of ml of liquid water wen it vaporizes to form about L of water?
The mass doesn't change in this case. Only the volume changes.
Why does a small spark have a much higher temperature than a hot kettle of water but less heat energy?
You must consider not only the temperature, but also the mass and the heat capacity. In this case, you can expect large differences mainly in the mass.
What happens to mass and molecules of 50 mL of water in each state of matter?
At 10 oC water become a solid and at 100 oC water become a gas; the mass remain constant.
What metric unit of mass would you use to measure the volume of a kettle?
You don't use a unit of mass to measure a volume. Mass and volume are two different things. Mass is measured in kilograms. The main unit of volume in the SI is the cubic meter, but for a kettle, the liter (= cubic decimeter, or 1/1000 of a cubic meter) can be used instead.
What is a large mass of ice moving down a mountain?
kettle
