"Heat" doesn't refer to the temperature, but to the amount of thermal energy - for two substances of the same type, that would basically be the temperature multiplied by the mass. (For a more detailed analysis, you would also have to consider latent heat for phase changes, and an object's specific heat.)

First, heat and temperature are not the same thing, a common misconception. All matter has what is called a "Specific Heat" (c) which is the amount of energy needed to raise its temperature by one degree Kelvin. Water for instance has a specific heat of 4181 J/(kg*K). (joule per kilogram per degree kelvin)

Does boiling water have more heat than a match flame?

Yes, the boiling water has more heat than the match flame.


Which can transfer more heat a cup of boiling water or a cup of tap water?

A cup of boiling water since it has higher temperature. Note that heat transfer depends more on the temperature.


Can carrots be done more quickly in vigorously boiling water than in water that is gently boiling?

Yes, carrots can be cooked more quickly in vigorously boiling water compared to water that is gently boiling. The higher temperature in vigorously boiling water allows the carrots to cook faster due to increased heat transfer and faster penetration of heat into the vegetable.


Does strawberry dissolved more in boiling water or in water?

Strawberry does not dissolve in water or boiling water as it is a solid fruit. However, when you mix strawberries with boiling water, the heat can help release more of their flavor and color into the water.


Does steam has highest latent heat than boiling water?

Boiling water has a lower latent heat than steam. Steam is the transition from liquid to gas for boiling water. If by boiling water you mean liquid water at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius then yes, steam has a higher latent heat.


Does it take more heat to heat water or to boil water?

It takes more heat to boil water than to simply heat water. Unless the water is already at its boiling point.


Which can transfer more heat 1 cup or boiling water or 1 teapot of boling water?

One teapot of boiling water can transfer more heat than one cup of boiling water because the teapot has a larger volume and surface area for heat transfer. The greater quantity of boiling water in the teapot allows for more heat to be transferred compared to the smaller amount in a single cup.


Which can more transfer heat a cup of boiling water or 1 basin of tap water?

A cup of boiling water since it has higher temperature. Note that heat transfer depends more on the temperature.


What contains more heat energy?

A cup of boiling water contains more heat energy than a cup of lukewarm water because the boiling water is at a significantly higher temperature. Heat energy is directly related to the temperature of an object.


Why is the latent heat of vapourization of steam is more than that of boiling water?

Because steam is hotter than boiling water.


Which can transfer more heat a cup of boiling water or 1 basin of tap water?

A cup of boiling water since it has higher temperature. Note that heat transfer depends more on the temperature.


What happens when heat is added to boiling water?

Depending on how much heat you add, more and more water will evaporate. It should be noted that the temperature will notincrease, however. The temperature of the water will stay the same until all the water has changed state and become steam, or water vapor, if you prefer.
