What happens to liquid water when it boils?
imagine that you are heating a pan of tap water on a cooker and taking the temperature of the water with a thermometer every two minutes until after the water has boiled
What effect does the use of an uncalibrated thermometer have on the boiling point of a liquid?
The thermometer's reading of the point the liquid boils may not be accurate.
Which boils quicker warm or cold water?
cold water does.
What temperature does water boils to?
Fresh water under atmospheric pressure boils at 100 C or at 212 F
What will the mercury thermometer show when it is kept in ice?
The question must be asked carefully. If the thermometer is in water ice and there is no liquid water, and there is one atmosphere of pressure, the thermometer can read anything from the freezing point of water and lower, depending on the range of the thermometer. If the thermometer is in a stable mix of water and ice, it will read the freezing point of water.
What reference points do you use in calibrating the scale of a thermometer?
The point at which water freezes and the point at which water boils.
Why is temperature of boiling water cannot be measured using an alcohol thermometer?
Because the alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water.

How could you calibrate a thermometer which had no scale marked?
Put it in a pot of water. Boil the water. Then mark the spot on the thermometer at which the water boils - the spot you marked will be 100 degrees celsius. Then put it in water in the freezer and mark it. The point at which the water freezes will be 0 degrees celsius. Then measure the length between 0 and 100 and make 9 equal marks for each 10 degrees and your thermometer is calibrated.
Where does water go to when it boils?
when water boils it evaporates in to air
What temperature do you boil water for your fish tank?
5000 degrees do the fish stay nice and warm. I'm just kidding. You do not boil water for your fish tank but if your wondering water boils around 220 degrees
What line represents boiling points on a phase diagram?
I cannot see any health angles. Water boils at 2l2 Fahrenheit and at 220 Fahrenheit ( called the Flash Point) will no longer remain in the liquid but is transformed directly into steam. Water boils at l00C in the Centigrade system. water will commence to boil at 2l2 F, but 220 is more like it. This is the Flash Point of steam .
Is it desirable to use water instead of mercury in a Thermometer?
You could, but its range would be limited. Not only does it freeze at 0oC and boil at 100oC, water reaches its greatest density at 4oC, below which it starts to expand again, so the bottom end of the scale would be useless. Liquids used for thermometers include: * Mercury, freezes at -38oC, boils at 630oC; * Ethanol, freezes at -114oC, boils at 78oC; * Toluene, freezes at -92oC, boils at 110oC; * Isomyl acetate, freezes at -78oC, boils at 142oC. Kerosene can also be used, but its exact freezing and boiling points depend very much on the grade. So, to fully answer the question, water is probably not desirable in a thermometer.
What water boils faster salt water vinegar water or fresh water?
saltwater boils the fastest
Which boils quicker warm or cold water?
cold water does.
