In a word, Thermodynamics. Liquid conducts heat better than gas, so the conduction of heat to your hand would be rapid in the water. Gas conducts heat less well, so putting your hand in a 200C oven for a few seconds would not conduct as much heat to your hand.

What was the second thing God made?

In the first biblical creation account (Genesis 1:1-2:4a), the first thing that God made was light, then the second thing was the firmament that separated the waters above from the waters below. The firmament was conceived as a dome into which the sun, moon and stars would be placed. We now know that the firmament does not really exist, so the second thing that God made, after separating the pre-existing dry land from the waters, would then have to be grass and then the herbs and fruit trees (1:11)The second biblical creation account (Genesis 2:4a and following) is more primitive, but Adam was the first creation, made from the dirt. God made him into a living soul. The second creation seems to be the garden he planted.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

Why was the leaf placed two times into the boiling water?

The leaf was placed in boiling water twice to ensure that it undergoes complete cell breakdown and to extract chlorophyll effectively. The first boiling helps to kill the leaf and break down the cell walls, making it easier for the chlorophyll to be released. The second boiling often follows immersion in alcohol, which helps to remove pigments and allows for clearer observation of the chlorophyll's presence when tested with iodine. This process is commonly used in experiments to demonstrate photosynthesis and the presence of starch in leaves.
