A metal urn with a spigot, used to boil water for tea and traditionally having a chimney and heated by coals. =D
Why is it that plastic bottle full of water does not melt under coal fire?
If the plastic can stand going up to 100 celsius without melting, the water will gradually heat up and the plastic bottle will remain at the water temperature. Eventually the water will start to boil at 100 celsius. If the bottle is closed it will explode under steam pressure. If the steam can escape, the bottle will stay at 100 celsius until the water has evaporated, then it will rapidly heat up and melt.
What can you do to a banana leaf?
you can fashion it into a crude container for water, by folding it and perhaps using a bit of twine, which you can then use to boil water by placing it directly on ..top of glowing hot coals.
Why would water boil at the top of a tube without the ice melting?
Water can boil at the top of a tube without the ice melting due to a decrease in pressure in that area, which lowers the boiling point of water. If the pressure at the top of the tube is significantly reduced, the water can transition to a gas phase (boil) even at temperatures below 0°C. Additionally, the presence of ice at the bottom can maintain a temperature below freezing, preventing it from melting while the water above it boils. This phenomenon can be observed in vacuum conditions or when localized heating occurs.
How can you avoid plastic?
We should reuse plastic bags again and again.Avoid using plastic wraps.We should boil water that is the plastic bottle contains many chemicals.
What happens if you boil plastic?

Why is it so difficult for h2o to melt and boil?
Water molecules are held together by strong hydrogen bonds due to their polar nature. In order to melt or boil water, these hydrogen bonds need to be broken, which requires a significant amount of energy. This is why water has a high melting and boiling point compared to other similar-sized molecules.
What is mean by melting and boiling point?
Melting point & boiling point means the temp that things melt & boil. Water's freezing & melting point is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Different liquids or substances have different melting, freezing, and boiling points.
What temp. to boil an egg?
Boiling an egg takes a while. Once the water starts to boil and the eggs are inside the boiling water, let the eggs boil for about 5 to 10 minutes. Careful, if they boil for too long, they might crack. Alternatively, bring the eggs and water to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 25 minutes. Then, dump the water and rinse with cold water. Alternatively, buy an egg timer--there is a nifty one that is red plastic that turns purple when the eggs are done.
