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 is the boiling point of pure water Mark 1?

boiling is caused by impurities in the water. . pure water wont boil until it comes in contact with an impurity like what is found in regular tap water. it can also boil explosively on contact of such an impurity


Will water evaporate and leave sugar?

If water has sugar dissolved in it. When the water evaporates the sugar crystals are too heavy to come too, so they will be left behind.

Is boiling water irreversible?

From a thermodynamics standpoint, it depends how the process is carried out. If the system (the water) and the surroundings remain close to equilibrium during the entire process then the water boils reversibly. So if the change in temperature is approximately zero throughout the process and the process takes an infinitely long amount of time to carry out you can reversibly boil water.If you were asking whether water vapor can turn back into liquid water, then yes the process of turning water into water vapor is reversible.


Why does temperature remain constant during the boiling of water although is supplied?

The boiling water at its boiling point uses the extra energy being supplied to transform its state from liquid to gas (steam) at the rate of 540 cals per gram. Now if you have the water boiling in a pressurized vessel you can make the water boil at a higher temperature and this is used in certain applications but the temperature will remain constant at that pressure as long as there is water to be converted to steam.

What happens to water when antifreeze is added to it?

When antifreeze is added to water, it lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point of the mixture. This helps prevent the water from freezing in cold temperatures and boiling in hot temperatures, making it more suitable for use as engine coolant.
