Why the specific heat capacity of water becomes infinity when boiling water changes into steam?
Specific heat is usually defined as the amount of energy that must be added to change the temperature. Another way to define it is the ratio between the amount of energy added and the change in temperature E/m·T(with units like joules/gram·°C) When water is at the saturation point and energy is added to it, instead of increasing in temperature, the water changes phase from liquid to gas. If you put the numbers back into the definition you get something like:
1 joule added to 1 gram of water yields a change of 0 °C so
Cp = 1/1∙0 = ∞.

What name when a liquid becomes a gas?
When a liquid becomes a gas, the process is called "vaporization." This can occur in two ways: evaporation, which happens at the surface of the liquid at any temperature, and boiling, which occurs throughout the liquid at a specific temperature known as the boiling point.
Water becomes a gas at what temp?
Water becomes a gas at 100°C (212°F) at sea level. This is known as the boiling point of water.
A gas becomes a liquid when?
When its temperature falls below the boiling point.
Do mixures have fixed boiling points or not?
A specific mixture has a fixed boiling point.
How do you check soxhlet apparatus capacity?
To check the capacity of a Soxhlet apparatus, first identify the size of the extractor and the boiling flask used in the setup. The capacity is usually determined by the volume of the boiling flask, which should be suitable for the amount of solvent and sample being used. Additionally, ensure that the siphon tube can handle the volume of solvent without overflow. For accurate measurements, refer to the manufacturer's specifications or guidelines for the specific Soxhlet apparatus model being used.
What do you mean by boiling process?
Boiling process is when a substance or liquid is boiled over a specific temperature. Once the temperature reaches the boiling point, the substance or liquid becomes vapor.
How condensing and boiling are different?
Simply put, boiling is the process by which a liquid becomes a gas while condensation is the opposite; it is the process by which a gas becomes a liquid.
Is it that when Water becomes a solid at its boiling point?
no its at freezing point when water becomes solid
Temperature in which a gas becomes a liquid?
Each gas condenses at a different temp. as for water vapor it condenses at 212F or 100C
How are boiling point and melting point different?
Boiling point is the temperature point at which a liquid becomes a gas while melting point is the point at which a solid becomes a liquid.
What is the name given to the point at which liqid becomes a gas?
boiling point, boiling point of water is 100C
What are at least 4 thermal properties of uranium?
- thermal conductivity - melting point - boiling point - specific heat capacity - coefficient of thermal expansion - superconductivity at low temperature
What is the process in which a liquid becomes a gas without boiling is a?
evaporation
What is it when a egg becomes firm?
you boil it in boiling water
The temperature at which a liquad becomes a gas is the freezing or boiling point?
The boiling point, because a liquid boils into a gas.
When water becomes a gas?
Water becomes a gas when it reaches the boiling point, which is 100 C at sea level. The boiling point is different at lower air pressures / higher elevations.
Heat capacity of element?
Generally, you can find the heat capacity for an element by placing a small amount of the element in a beaker of boiling water. Then you allow the element to sit in the water until it becomes the same temperature of the water.
