The temperature of water stays the same because it has reached an equilibrium. Once it reaches a certain point it changes phases to gas. The water left boiling stays has to stay the same temperature otherwise it would all be gas.

Temperature stays constant because there's no change in average kinetic energy.

Molecules gain kinetic energy, but at the same time some of them escapes from the liquid, so the average kinetic energy stays the same.

As the air temperature increases with no addition of water vapor to the air the dew point will?

As the air temperature increases with no addition of water vapor, the dew point will stay the same or decrease. The dew point represents the temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapor, so if there is no additional water vapor added, the dew point will remain constant or decrease as the air temperature increases.


When can liquid water remain above 100 degrees Celsius?

Liquid water can remain above 100 degrees Celsius if it is under pressure. Increase in pressure raises the boiling point of water, allowing it to stay in liquid form above its normal boiling point at 100 degrees Celsius.


What happens when heat is added to boiling water?

Depending on how much heat you add, more and more water will evaporate. It should be noted that the temperature will notincrease, however. The temperature of the water will stay the same until all the water has changed state and become steam, or water vapor, if you prefer.


How do you test to see if a colorless odorless tasteless liquid is water?

Below is a list of tests and the expected result if it is water: * Put universal indicator in a sample; the liquid should stay green. * Put some cyclohexane in a sample; they should separate into layers. * Put some ethanol in a sample; they should mix easily. * Put a sample on a high temperature with a thermometer; it will reach 100oC and stay there, while boiling.


What effect does adding salt have on the melting point of ice?

Salt alters the melting point and boiling point of water by altering the molecular structures with the sodium and chloride contents of the salt. When added to water, it will boil before it hits 212 degrees. When added to ice it also reduces the temperature that water freezes at, making the water stay liquid longer at temps lower than 32 degrees.

What is wrong in choosing the melting point and the boiling point of water as standard fixed point?

The melting and boiling points of water change as the air pressure changes. For example, there is a certain air pressure in which steam, water and ice will stay like that forever.


How can water in an engine stay a liquid when the temperature is above its normal boiling point?

The cooling system is pressurized and requires a higher temperature to reach boiling.


Why does water stay at the same temp after it starts to boil?

It takes a certain energy to convert water to steam. Any additional energy you supply to the water, as heat, will be taken away by water converting to steam. The maximum temperature of a liquid is its boiling point so water shows constant maximum temperature 100o Celsius (if it is pure).


Why would the boiling point of water be high in a pressurised deep sea diving bell?

The high pressure in the deep sea diving bell increases the boiling point of water because it requires more energy to overcome the increased pressure and change the water into vapor. The high pressure forces the water molecules to stay closer together, making it more difficult for them to escape as vapor, thus raising the boiling point.


What happens if a glowstick was in boiling water?

It stay the same


If you continued t heat a pot of water after it reached it boiling point what would happen?

Eventually the boiling water would be completely evaporated, leaving a dry pot. An aluminium pot would have the bottom burnt out.


Can boiling water will stay at the same temperature when you lower the heat under it but keep it boiling?

Yes


Does the boiling point of a liquid decreases increases or stay the same if the intermolecular force increases?

Generally, the boiling point of a liquid increases if the intermolecular force, i.e. pressure, increases.


How is the boiling of liquid related to the evaporation process?

Boiling and evaporation are both phase changes where a liquid turns into a gas. However, boiling occurs at the boiling point of the liquid throughout the entire substance, whereas evaporation happens at the surface of the liquid at any temperature. Both processes involve the conversion of liquid molecules into gas molecules.


When the sea in Chile evapourated why didn't the salt disappear with water?

salt has a much higher boiling point than water. Water will start evaporating, depending on the temperature, and the local saturation of the surrounding air (the humidity). Dissolved seasalt (NaCL -> Na+ + Cl- ) will stay behind, and eventually return to its salt-state. since its melting point is 801 °C (1,474 °F) and its boiling point 1,465 °C (2,669 °F), it will not evaporate.


Why boiling water is physical changes?

Physical change because the water molecules stay unchanged during boiling, also the germination phase helps this be proved correct=)
