How does lightning cause the loud boom heard durig a thunderstorm?
This boom, called thunder, is the result of lightning instantly superheating the air to tens of thousands of degrees. The air expands rapidly as a result, generating a shockwave.
Why are boiling stones used in esterification?
Boiling chips provide a surface on which vapor bubbles can form. This bubble formation helps prevent superheating and bumping of the liquid.
Does it use less electricity to boil a cup of water in a microwave oven or a kettle?
It probably Depends on the amount of water you need to boil. A small amount of water, such as the cup suggested in the question, is probably much more efficient to heat in the microwave, since it's energy is specifically targeted at the rotational energy of water molecules. Be careful of superheating. This is when the water actually heats higher than boiling point but does not bubble. Any "shock" to the system, such as putting in a spoon, will cause the water to bubble suddenly. The risk of superheating increases the cleaner the water is. Distilled water will superheat almost every time, while tap water will usually not, due to minerals that naturally occur in most water.
Why are boiling chips placed in distilling flask during distillation?
They provide a site for nucleation and prevent the liquid from superheating.
True or false a quasar is a type of globular cluster?
No, a globular cluster is a gravitationally bound cluster of stars withing a galaxy. A quasar is formed from a supermassive black hole pulling in huge quantities of matter, superheating it and producing enormous quantities of energy far more efficiently than any star or group of stars.
What force causes the superheating of the corona?

What is superheating and how can a person prevent it?
Superheating means to heat something above its boiling point without the formation of bubbles of vapor (without it actually boiling). It can be prevented by placing something into what you are trying to cook to diffuse its energy.
How superheating of steam improves the efficiency of thermal power plant?
The amount of energy transferred from the steam is a function of the temperature difference between the input and output of the turbine. Also, superheating the steam ensures that there are no water molecules that can damage the turbine blades.
What has the author William M Porteous written?
William M. Porteous has written: 'Superheating and cryogenic vapor explosions'
What has the author John Francis Gairns written?
John Francis Gairns has written: 'Locomotive compounding and superheating' -- subject(s): Compound Locomotives, Superheated Steam
Is magma a gas?
No, magma is just molten rock that lies under the Earth's Crust (when outside of the Crust it is lava). What you are thinking of is probably plasma, which can be formed by superheating gas.
How sailed the Titanic?
Titanic's propulsion was steam. Stokers, or firemen, shoveled coal into furnaces, superheating the water which made steam to turn the propellers. Oil wasn't used until after the Great World War.

Explain the important features of high pressure boilers used in power plants?
1) Methods of circulation of water and Steam 2) Arrangement of tubing and boiler drum 3) Methods of superheating the steam 4) water softening plant
What creates the thunder sound?
Lightning is extremely hot, with temperatures ranging from 30,000 to 60,00 degrees Fahrenheit. This superheating of the air occurs almost instantaneously, causing the air to expand at a supersonic rate and causing a shock wave that then becomes thunder.
