What is the boiling point of technetium?

It takes a lot of heat to turn this metal into a gas. The boiling point is 4265 °C or 7709 °F or 4538 K. A link can be found below.


When you heat water to 100 degrees Celsius it?

reaches its boiling point and starts to vaporize, turning into steam.


Does higher boiling point evaporate faster?

Evaporation and boiling are the same process, liquid water is converted to water vapour. To convert from liquid to gas the water molecules have to absorb heat. The rapidly the heat is supplied, the faster the liquid water changes to a gas. In evaporation this heat comes from the air the water is exposed to, the surface the water sits on and the heat already in the water (hot water cools as it evaporates). This process is relatively slow compared to boiling water where a lot of heat is being put into the system by the stove or hot plate. It takes the same amount of heat to boil or evaporate the same amount of water. Boiling provides this heat much more quickly. Therefore boiling water evaporates much more quickly.


What happens to the temperature of boiling water if you turn up the heat on the stove?

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius. The water will evaporate at boiling point. By the way what do you mean "what happens to the temperature of boiling water" if you think about it, it does not make sense.


Why doesnt the all the water instantly vaporize when you reach the boiling point?

Not all the water instantly vaporizes when you reach the boiling point because the boiling point represents the temperature at which bubbles of vapor form within the liquid. It takes time for the heat to be distributed evenly throughout the water, leading to a gradual process of vaporization. Heat must be continually added to the water to maintain the boiling point and continue the transition to vapor.

What is vaporization that occurs below the liquid surface at is boiling point?

Vaporization that occurs below the liquid surface at its boiling point is called nucleate boiling. It happens when bubbles of vapor form in the bulk liquid due to intense heating or agitation. Nucleate boiling is an efficient method of heat transfer commonly used in industrial processes such as boiling water in a kettle.


What is the relationship between the heat of vaporization and boiling point of a substance?

The heat of vaporization is the amount of energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas at its boiling point. The higher the heat of vaporization, the higher the boiling point of the substance.


How can you separate a mixture of alchohol and water?

Distillation! Water and alcohol have different boiling points; one is lower than the other. Heat the mixture up until it one of the two boils away. In the case of alcohol and water, alcohol has the lower boiling point. Heat the mixture to just above the boiling point of alcohol but below the boiling point of water and voila!- you've separated the mixture.


Where does the heat go during boiling time?

The temperature at witch something changes from a liquid to a gas is called?

The temperature at which something changes from a liquid to a gas is called boiling point.


What is super heat sub cooling?

The compressor elevates the boiling point of the refrigerant to a point at which the air (or water) moves across the condenser is low enough to condense the refrigerant to a liquid. Additional passes in the condenser coil cool the liquid refrigerant below its boiling point to ensure it remains a liquid as it experiences pressure drop in its journey to the evaporator. This cooling below the boiling point is called sub cooling


What is the specific heat of water when it comes to a boiling point?

The specific heat of water when it comes to a boiling point is 100 degrees Celcius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The boiling temperature can vary based on the vapor pressure of the atmosphere.


What is superheating and how can a person prevent it?

Superheating means to heat something above its boiling point without the formation of bubbles of vapor (without it actually boiling). It can be prevented by placing something into what you are trying to cook to diffuse its energy.
