A kettle uses pressure to heat water. As the water boils and turns into steam, the pressure inside the kettle increases, causing the steam to escape through the spout. This pressure buildup is what allows the water to reach its boiling point temperature faster.

How do molecules of steam exert pressure inside the kettle?

The molecules of steam in a kettle have high kinetic energy due to heat, causing them to move rapidly and collide with the walls of the kettle. These collisions create pressure as the molecules transfer momentum to the kettle walls. When the pressure inside the kettle exceeds the atmospheric pressure, the steam escapes as a jet through the spout.


What is the sound of a kettle called?

The sound of a kettle boiling is commonly referred to as a whistle or a hiss. It is caused by the steam escaping through the spout or pressure release valve of the kettle.


What is your Hypothesis why the whistling kettle whistles?

The whistling sound from a kettle occurs when the steam generated inside reaches a high enough pressure to force its way through the spout, causing vibrations that produce the noise.


Why does steam in boiling kettle raises the lid?

It is like a planes wing, it causes the molecules on the top of the lid to want to "run" away from the burning steam, so they move vertically away. Some of those molecules will have some sort of slight attractive force with the lid, wether it be magnetic or so on, and if enough of them have enough attraction to the lid, then it will lift up


What is the difference between absolute pressure and gage pressure, and how do they relate to each other in terms of measuring pressure?

Absolute pressure is the total pressure exerted by a fluid, including atmospheric pressure. Gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure. They are related by the equation: Absolute pressure Gauge pressure Atmospheric pressure.

Why steam comes out from a kettle sprout?

steam comes out to release the energy of the kettle because of the heat that it's producing


How is air pressure relative to sea level?

Air pressure is higher at sea-level, so a kettle will boil quickly. Air pressure lessens the higher one climbs, so a kettle will take a long time to boil on the top of Mount Everest.


How does water pressure relate deapth?

As you get deeper the pressure of water increases.


Chandra helped his mother to boil some water using a kettle After a while he observed white mist escaping from the lid of the kettle The white mist is a condensation process taking place Why?

The mist escapes the kettle because of the high pressure. Outside, the temperature and pressure are much lower (room temperature and 1 ATM pressure), so water condenses again since it's liquid in such conditions.

Is there any difference between the boiling point of water in a kettle and the boiling point of water in a bucket?

assuming both containers are at the same elevation, there in fact can be a difference. Boiling point is defined as "the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid" If the kettle were sealed or at least mostly sealed, as steam began to spew from the kettle spout, if it in fact filled the inside with enough pressure (more steam stacks up than is able to escape the kettle) the boiling point would in fact rise slightly. This idea is similar to why a person who quickly opens a pressure cooker will deal with a vicious explosion as the pressure inside the pot equalizes with the pressure outside of it, therefore water and steam essentially explode outwards.


What is the boiling point of a kettle?

That would be the boiling point of water, or somewhere below if the kettle is faulty. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.That would be 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

How does water pressure relate to deph?

As the depth increases the pressure goes on increasing. Pressure is same at the same level. ..........................................Gho$t


What is happening inside the kettle with water?

Inside the kettle, the water is being heated by an electric element or flame. As the water absorbs heat, its temperature rises and eventually reaches the boiling point, causing it to turn into steam. The pressure from the steam builds up inside the kettle until it forces the steam out through the spout, producing the whistling sound characteristic of a boiling kettle.
