Why wont water leave a covered pot when boiling?

When there's a lid on the pot, the pressure of the steam builds up until the steam raises the lid a tiny amount (you may feel the lid floating on its rim since it will spin easily) and the water escapes the pot in the form of steam or water vapor. A pressure cooker is a pot with a lid firmly attached to the pot via clamps or some other means. This does prevent the water from leaving the pot. A large build up of pressure can cause the pot to explode, To prevent this a pressure cooker has escape valve(s) built in to release steam when the pressure is too high.Then water will leave the pot.


What happen to the lid when you heat a sealed can?

When you heat a sealed can, the liquid inside expands and turns into gas, increasing the pressure inside the can. This pressure causes the lid to bulge outwards or, in some cases, even explode off the can due to the build-up of gases.


What action will most likely occur after placing a lid on a very full pot of boiling water?

The water will continue boiling and might bubble over the sides of the pot, potentially creating a mess or even burning someone. It is recommended to adjust the heat to prevent this from happening or to use a larger pot.


Why does a can a metal lid open after running hot water over it?

The hot water causes the metal lid to expand, making it easier to break the seal between the lid and the can. This allows air pressure to equalize inside and outside the can, making it easier to open.


Why do you use hot water to open the metal lid of a jar?

Using hot water to open a metal jar lid helps to expand the metal, making it easier to twist open the jar. The heat from the hot water causes the metal to expand while the glass of the jar remains relatively unaffected, creating a temperature difference that helps to loosen the lid.
