You may be talking about the latent heat of vaporisation as a liquid boils it talkes on energy to change from liquit to gas. This means that whatever is causing it to boil gets colder.

Hence if you spill a volatile liquid on you skin it feels cold as it evaporates very quickly.

What happen to a glass of cold water when put in a pot of boiling water?

When a glass of cold water is placed in a pot of boiling water, the heat from the boiling water rapidly transfers to the cold water. This causes the temperature of the cold water to rise as it absorbs the heat, leading to a gradual warming of the cold water. If the glass is not thermally resistant, it may crack or shatter due to the sudden temperature change. Overall, the cold water will eventually reach a temperature closer to that of the boiling water.


Why does boiling water turn to vapor in the cold?

Boiling water turns to vapor in the cold because the temperature difference between the hot water and the cold air causes the water to evaporate and turn into vapor.


Is the composition of bubbles in boiling water the same as the bubbles that appear when cold water heats up?

They are the same. When cold water heats up and bubbles that means it is boiling.


How does boiling water behave in cold air?

When boiling water is exposed to cold air, it cools down quickly and starts to condense into steam. The steam may appear as fog or mist as it interacts with the cold air.

Can steel be rusted by cold luke and boling water?

It requires water and oxygen. Cold, lukewarm, or boiling water will do it. Boiling can introduce some other types of errosion/corrosion, also.


How are boiling point and condensation related?

There is nothing called "condensation point". At least not such thing related to do condensation of gases. But there is a fixed point at a certain pressure, called "boiling point", means, the temperature at which a liquid boils. But condensation does not occur at a fixed temperature like boiling. Think this way, you can see water drops on a cold bottle that occur by condensation of water vapor in the air. For this, just a cold bottle is enough, not a bottle at a certain temperature.


How does an antifreeze prevent freezing in cold months and overheating and boiling?

It lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point of water.
