It takes more heat to boil water than to simply heat water. Unless the water is already at its boiling point.

How long doest take to boil water on a blue flame?

the lager pot will because it has more surface exposed to the heat.


What can take more heat metal or stone?

water


Does the size of a pan affect the time for water to boil?

Larger the surface area of the pot that is in contact with the heat, lesser time it takes for water to boil.


How long does it take for the water to start boiling?

That varies depending on the conditions. For example, if water is already at 99 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees, and the amount of water is small, it can boil almost instantly. If you have a fairly large amount of cold water, it will of course take longer. More specifically, the answer to your question will depend on all of the following factors:The amount (mass) of the water(The water's heat capacity can be assumed to be constant, but you need that in your calculations)The mass of the pot, cauldron, or whatever you use to boil the water inThe heat capacity of this container (which will depend on the material from which it is made)The initial temperature of the water + containerThe atmospheric pressure, which affects the boiling pointHow fast the energy is provided to the water, i.e., the power - for example, in the case of a gas stove, how big the fire isHow much of this heat energy gets wasted


How much time does it take to boil saltwater or pure water?

That is entirely dependent on: 1. Your relation to sea level. 2. How much water you have. 3. How much salt is in the salt water. 4. What amount of heat you are using.

Why does it a take a full kettle of water to boil longer than a half full kettle?

The more water in the kettle, the longer it will take to reach boiling point. This is why it is wasteful in energy to boil a full kettle if you only want to brew a small cup of tea.


Why does it take a less time to boil little ammounts of water?

It takes less time to boil little amounts of water because there is less water to boil. The more water in the pot, the longer it takes to heat up.

the lager pot will because it has more surface exposed to the heat.


How long does it take for the water to start boiling At what temperature does the water boil?

How long it takes water to boil depends on how much heat is being used. Water boils at 100 degrees C


Why does it take longer for water to boil when there's more of it?

It takes longer to boil because there is more of it that therefor takes longer to heat up. This is because a larger volume of liquid is needed to be heated to the same temperature as a small volume of liquid.


How long does it take for water to boil at Fahrenheit?

The time required to get water to boil depends upon the water initial temperature, the water mass, the nature of the heat source, the net heat transfer rate to the water, and the local barometric pressure.


How many minutes does it take to boil salt water?

Salt water will boil at 108 degrees Celsius, so getting it to the boil will take 8% longer under the exact same circumstances as when you heat it to 100 degrees. How much time it will take in minutes depends on how high you will turn up the fire, if you will put a lid on the pan, whether you turn up or down the heat halfway etcetera.


Why does half a full kettle take less time to boil a full one?

That is not possible a full kettle has more water,therefore it will take longer to boil.


If you wanted to take the salt out of water can't one place seawater into a vacuum chamber and boil off the water and expend less energy than just heating it?

in order to boil water you need to heat it, so its the same thing


How long does it take for 5 eggs to boil?

No matter how many I boil, I put them in a pot big enough that they don't stack. Cover them with COLD water. Bring the pot to a boilo and let it boil for 8 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let set for 10 minutes more. They should be perfect.


How long does a kettal take to boil?

depends on the amount of water and how much heat applied. why do people ask STUPID questions on this site?


Why putting less water in kettle will help use less energy?

because it takes less time for the water to boil. I f you put more water in the kettle it will take a longer time for it to boil which takes in more energy
