At the boiling point of a liquid, the temperature remains constant because the heat energy being added is used to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the liquid molecules together, rather than increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules. This energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules, allowing them to escape as vapor. Once all the liquid has been converted to vapor, the temperature will begin to rise again as additional heat energy increases the kinetic energy of the vapor molecules.

The what remains constant when a liquid reaches boiling point?

The temperature. A liquid will increase in temperature until it reaches the boiling point temperature. At this temperature the liquid will become a gas. Under normal circumstances, the liquid cannot get any hotter than the boiling point without becoming a gas. So the liquid remains the same temperature until it has all boiled away.


Boiling liquid maintains a constant temperature?

The boiling point temperature remains constant because liquids evaporate at this point. If the temperature drops the liquid will no longer boil. At a higher temperature the vapor becomes hotter, not the liquid.


What is melting points and the boiling points?

Melting point: the temperature at which a solid become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid become a gas.


What is the term used to describe the constant temperature at which a pure liquid changes to vapour?

Boiling point


The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure is?

The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure is called the boiling point. This is when the liquid changes into vapor at a constant temperature.


How may it be checked that the liquid is boiling at a constant rate?

To check if a liquid is boiling at a constant rate, observe the bubbles forming in the liquid. If the size and frequency of bubbles are consistent, it indicates a constant boiling rate. Additionally, monitoring the temperature can help ensure a steady boiling process.


A boiling liquid maintains a constants temperature because?

The boiling point temperature remains constant because liquids evaporate at this point. If the temperature drops the liquid will no longer boil. At a higher temperature the vapor becomes hotter, not the liquid.


At what temperature does a liquid become a gas?

At it boiling point: boiling temperature AND pressure:Water boiling at 100oC at 100 kPa (1 atm.)


What do terms boiling points and freezing point mean?

Melting (freezing) point: the temperature when the solid metal become a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature when the liquid metal become a gas.


What are the signs that a liquid has reached its boiling point?

Oh come one -_-''Its obviousBubbles of vaporised liquid will formThe temperature of the liquid when boiling will remain constant even when more heat is applied.As the liquid is heated, the vapour pressure increases until it equals the pressure of the gas above it.


Does the temperature of a boiling liquid increase as it boils?

No. Take water for example. Water boils at 100 degrees C. When water boils it becomes steam. This steam as soon as it is released is 100 degrees C also. The boiling point for a liquid is the point when it becomes a gas.
