Why do microorganism thrive in hay infusion?

Not quite sure, might be, because there is a greater amount of heat.Thus, they become prolific breeders.


Which has more heat an iceberg of a pot of boiling water?

Iceberg.Heat is anything above absolute zero (-273 degrees C).It is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy.The iceberg is a huge object with a lot of mass or volume than a pot of water.Therefore due to the massive size of the iceberg the amount of heat (even though it is not as 'hot' as the boiling water) is greater.


What branch of chemistry studies the boiling point of a liquid?

Just about any branch might look at boiling points, but it's in the area that a Physical Chemist might follow.


Why do different liquids evaporate at different rates?

This has to do with their boiling point, and their boiling point is connected to the cohesion between the molecules of the liquid. Different liquids have different boiling points because of the molecular forces between the molecules. At room temperature there is a certain amount of energy in the liquid, depending on the boiling point some of the liquid might be at a level to 'evaporate off' ie by becoming so energetic that it becomes gaseous.


Why might potatoes cook more quickly in salt water than in unsalted water?

Pure water has a boiling point of 100 degrees C. With limited exception, this is the maximum temperature for aqueous water, above which it becomes a gas. When you add salt, it raises the boiling temperature, therefore raising the maximum temperature. By adding salt, you're effectively raising the temperature of the water.

Why might the typical boiling point change?

Due to the temperature, environment, and matter the boiling pot will change. Hope this will help By either the pressure or purity of the substance.


Highest temperature recorded in Hamilton NZ?

I think it might be 30.3 degrees but not 100% sure.


What are the changes?

Sublimation, boiling, condensation, melting and freezing. One might include evaporation, though that does not happen at a particular temperature.


What are the different changes?

Sublimation, boiling, condensation, melting and freezing. One might include evaporation, though that does not happen at a particular temperature.


Is a wind-chill temperature greater thean the actual air temperature?

No. As the chill wind wind chill might imply, which chill temperatures are colder than the real temperature.


What might happened to the thermometer if you put in boiling water after taken out of freezer?

There will be a sudden change in temperature and it is likely that the thermometer may even break.


What are the different phases change?

Sublimation, boiling, condensation, melting and freezing. One might include evaporation, though that does not happen at a particular temperature.


Does boiling affect any viruses that might be present?

to a degree but you can have more temperature resistant spores Yes, because virus' cannot survive beyond certain temperatures.


If The boiling point of ethanol is 78.3 degrees Celsius what is the boiling point of ethanol kelvins?

To change C to K just add 273.01 to the C temperature (78.3 C = 351.3 K) You might think it is 351. 31 K but the original temperature was only accurate to one decimal place.


Where you can find in the globe is the 60 degree Celsius?

Celsius degrees are measures of temperature. The highest recorded temperature is 57 C, so that doesn't work. You might be looking for degrees of longitude or latitude.


Does every liquid boil?

Yes, every liquid will boil at a specific temperature refered to as its "boiling point."
