The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid.

Since there is no environmental pressure on the liquid in vacuum, its boiling point is directly above its freezing point. In other words, as soon as the liquid unfreezes from the solid state, it turns to steam because there is no outside pressure to hold the molecules in liquid state.

What temp does breast milk has to be?

Room temperature is ideal for breastmilk. Do not microwave pumped breastmilk. To thaw frozen breastmilk or warm up refrigerated breastmilk, place the pumped bag inside a cup of warm water or under running warm water.


Can a thermos flask keep cold water cold?

Yes, a thermos flask can keep cold water cold for several hours due to its insulated design that helps to maintain the temperature of the liquid inside. It is more effective at keeping beverages hot, but it can also help to preserve the cold temperature of water for a decent amount of time.


Why did the water rush into the erlenmeyer flask when it was submerged in the cold water?

1. When the flask was placed into the cold water, the colder air molecules in the flask move slower, putting out less pressure. With the decrease in air pressure inside the flask, the now greater pressure outside pushes water into the flask until the pressure inside equals the pressure outside.


What change in the water level occurs when you hold Erlenmeyer flask over a candle in a pan of water?

When you hold an Erlenmeyer flask over a candle in a pan of water, the water inside the flask heats up and expands, causing the water level in the flask to rise. This is due to the expansion of the water molecules as they gain thermal energy from the heat source.


When will the caterpillar c7 engine begin to overheat and the Max Temperature of operation?

Water temperature of lake Las Vegas?

There's no automated direct measurement. However, water is pumped there from Lake Mead so you'll probably be within a few degrees of the Lake Mead temperature.


Examples of air exerts down ward pressure?

1. Put a little water (about 20 ml) in the flask and heat it to a boil. 2. Let the water boil vigorously for at least one full minute. 3. Take the flask off the hot plate and immediately place the balloon with the mouth over the flask's mouth. 4. Let cool slowly at room temperature (the balloon will be pushed inside out into the flask).


How do you calibrate a volumetric flask?

To calibrate a volumetric flask, you need to fill it with a known volume of liquid, usually water, at a specific temperature. Then, you measure the actual volume of liquid in the flask using a calibrated measuring device, such as a graduated cylinder or a pipette. The difference between the known volume and the measured volume is the calibration error, which can be used to adjust the accuracy of the flask.


What gas or liquid pumped into water would cause it to freeze instantly?

Liquid nitrogen can cause water to freeze instantly when pumped into it. Liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature of -320°F (-196°C), causing the water to freeze rapidly upon contact.


Why should a receiver flask in a distillation be in an ice water bath?

A receiver flask in a distillation is placed in an ice water bath to condense the vapor being distilled back into liquid form. This helps in separating and collecting the desired components more effectively. The cold temperature of the ice water bath aids in the condensation process.


Must a flask be a good conductor of heat?

No, a flask does not necessarily have to be a good conductor of heat. In fact, many flasks are designed with insulating materials to help maintain the temperature of the liquid inside, whether hot or cold. So, a flask can be effective at keeping beverages hot or cold without being a good conductor of heat.


What do you call the object that keeps water hot for hours?
