boiling point is a property which depends upon the atmospheric pressure. when vapour pressure of water is equal to external is called its boiling point.. if pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure ,boiling point is 100 degree celcius.

When you boil water in a kettle does it turn into steam?

yes it does as the air mixed in with the water, evaporates into steam.


What happen if you continue boil the water above 100 c?

If you continue to boil water above 100°C, the water will not get any hotter because it will all turn into steam. The temperature will remain constant as long as there is water left to boil, but the additional heat will cause more water to turn into steam.


What happens if water is heated?

When water is heated, the molecules gain energy and move faster, causing the temperature of the water to increase. As the temperature rises, water transitions from its liquid state to a gaseous state, turning into steam.


How is water vapor different from steam?

So specifically steam will form when you boil water. While water vapor forms when the sun evaporates water. Steam you would most likely see, while water vapor is more of an invisible gas.


What change take place when water start to boil?

when a water starts to boil it evaporates in to gas from gas to liquid


How are evaporation and boiling similar and how are they different?

Evaporation is the act of producing water vapor. This can occur at any temperature or pressure. Boiling is the act of raising the temperature of water to the boiling point and maintaining it there. The boiling point of water is dependent upon the atmospheric pressure. Steam Generation is conducted within a closed pressure vessel, and is the act of vaporizing water into steam at a given pressure and temperature. Examples: Ice can shrink in size due to the evaporation of individual molecules of water into the air water can evaporate from a puddle into the atmosphere a pot on a stove can boil water for cooking, this also evaporates some water a steam generator evaporates water into steam for use in a heating system, the water is then condensed and returned to the generator


Should I boil water with the lid on or off?

Boiling water with the lid on will make it boil faster because it traps the heat and steam, increasing the temperature inside the pot.


Why does water not evaporate when it is kept in pre heated pan?

Water in a preheated pan may not evaporate immediately because the water needs to reach its boiling point before it evaporates. Once the pan reaches a high enough temperature to boil the water, the water will start to evaporate into steam.


When you boil water what comes out?

SteamWhen you boil water, steam comes out. Steam is just water in the gas (or vapor) phase. Normally, wateFr can exist in three phUases, or states: Cgas, liquid, and soliKd. Water in the gas phase is commonly called steam [or in the atmosphere, water vapor], and water in the solid phase is commonly called ice.


What is the maximum temperature of steam?

with the pressure we can increse it to 270 deg centigrade


Is it possible to boil water by passing steam at atmospheric pressure?

No, passing steam at atmospheric pressure will not cause water to boil. Boiling occurs when the liquid reaches its boiling point temperature and vapor pressure overcomes the atmospheric pressure. Generally, steam at atmospheric pressure will only cause the water to heat up and potentially evaporate faster.


What happens when you boil alcohol?

Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water. Naturally the alcohol evaporates leaving the flavanoids and the water. If you boil 100 % alcohol, then it would act like plain water. It will boil until it all evaporates.
