It is because the vapour pressure acts over the lid

Why do water droplets form on a lid when boiling water?

When water is boiled, it evaporates and forms steam. When the steam comes into contact with a cooler lid, it condenses back into liquid water droplets due to the drop in temperature. This is similar to how dew forms on cool surfaces in the morning.


Is boiled water distilled water?

No, boiled water is simply boiled. Distilled water is when the steam from the boiling is gathered and rebottled.


When water is boiled the water changes from?

When water is boiled it changes from liquid to a gas.


Which dissolves faster salt or water in boiled water?

Boiled water.


When water is boiled in a pan on a stove what energy is transferred?

When water is boiled on a stove, heat energy from the stove is transferred to the water. This heat energy increases the temperature of the water molecules, causing them to move faster and eventually reach a state of boiling where they turn into water vapor.


What is a water called when it is boiled?

When water is boiled, it is called steam.


Apply the kinetic theory in explaining why the loose lid of a pot pops out when water H2O is being boiled in it?

Kinetic theory states that as matter is heated its atoms move faster and the mater's bonds break. The water changes into vater vapor a gas. Then because of gay-lussac's law of ideal gasses shows that as a gas is heated the presure increases if the same nuber of moles are present, so the lid on the pot "pops out" because of the pressure of the gas in the pot.


What is the process called that allows the metal lid to expand when ran under hot water?

The process is called thermal expansion. When the metal lid is heated under hot water, its particles gain kinetic energy and move more freely, causing the lid to expand in size.


Do plants grow faster in salt water or boiled water or plain water?

boiled water


When vegetables are being cooked in a pot on the stove use the particle theory to explain why the lid starts to jump up and down?

The lid jumps up and down because the particles are hot which causes them to move fast, and because the water is moving fast the top layer evaporates turning into steam (gas). And the pressure from the boiling water pushes the lid to move up and down.


What is the mass of water once boiled?

Boiling water will not change its mass; it will simply move it from the liquid state to the gaseous state.


Does a glass of water evaporate faster with a lid or without?

A glass of water will generally evaporate slower with a lid on compared to without a lid. This is because the lid prevents the water vapor from escaping into the surrounding environment, leading to reduced evaporation.
