the heat capacity in the boiling water cause the ice cube to melt rapidly because heat transferres to the other object that is cold or hotter to make the temperature the same degree (212 degrees fahrenheit)

Why does hot tap water not boiling when you pour it in a cup?

Water heaters are normally set to temperatures well below boiling; 140 degrees Fahrenheit is typical. Also, some heat loss occurs as the water travels through the pipes from the heater to the tap, so the water generally emerges at closer to 120 degrees, which is nowhere near boiling.


Why does an ice cube melt faster on top of bottle full of water versus an empty water bottle?

Ice cube requires heat to melt.Water conducts heat well. Therefore the temperature of the environment is absorbed by the water and the some of the distributed heat is taken by the cube and it melts.Air is an insulator. The only way heat from surroundings can go to the ice cube INSIDE the water bottle is by convection of air currents. But the convection is restricted to some extent by the almost closed water bottle, which has high(compared to cube size) plastic walls (plastic: heat insulator) on all sides and a narrow mouth. Therefore the convection and thus passing of heat to cube from surroundings is slow and this makes the ice melt slower in the empty water bottle.


What are some changes that may occur when a solid is heated by the sun?

It becomes a liquid, think about boiling ice, it becomes water. Then if you heat water, it becomes a gas.


3 examples of heat energy?

There are many examples of heat energy found in the environment. Some of these include the sun, boiling water, and a stove.


Why is water boil in the mountain faster than low place please explain science approach?

Some say, It's colder in the mountain than at lower places so the water shouldn't boil but, the pressure is higher there. The boiling point decreases so the water may be boiling but not as hot as it is in the lower regions. the higher the area, the higher the atmospheric pressure and the vapour pressure decreases thus create a lower boiling point.

When boiling water in Kettle and it becomes steam why do you say the water boiled when not all the water became steam?

When they say boiling water they mean some water is turning to steam but not all off the water has to be over 100 degrees for some to be boiling.


What are 6 examples of physical change?

Some examples of physical change include melting an ice cube, chopping wood, and breaking a piece of glass. Additional examples include tearing a piece of paper, combining water and sand, and boiling water.


Is changing states of matter a chemical change or physical change?

It's a physical because you easily make it back into a liquid by melting some ice(which is called melting point), you can make it back into a gas by boiling some water (which is called boiling point), and make it back into a solid by freezing some water into an ice cube (which is called freezing point).

Can steel be rusted by cold luke and boling water?

It requires water and oxygen. Cold, lukewarm, or boiling water will do it. Boiling can introduce some other types of errosion/corrosion, also.


Why does glass break when boiling tea is poured in it very fast?

Some glasses break when you pour boiling water in it. To avoid that make sure you read a label that comes with that glass saying it can withstand boiling water or not.


Boiling point of water is 100 degree celsius but why it boils at 130?

The presence of some impurities and dissolved salts increases the boiling point of water from 100 degree celsius.


When an Ice cube is melted will it make another cube the same size as the first?

most likely not because as it is melting some of the water is precipitating, meaning there is always less water then when it starts


How can boiling point be used to find out if a substance is pure?

At Boiling Point all the material evaporates leaving no residue which means it is pure. But if it leaves some residue after evaporating at boiling point then it is not pure. For example : If you take an example of pure water & Saline Water then pure water will evaporate at its boiling point leaving nothing after it. But Saline water evaporates leaves salt behind it.
