The energy/heat being added to the liquid is used to convert the liquid into a gaseous state, rather than to heat the liquid (you get something similar when you melt ice). Once a gas, the temperature of the substance will start rising further if heat continues to be applied.

Why does temperature remain constant at 0 celsius?

At 0 degrees Celsius, water is changing phase from a liquid to a solid, or melting at this temperature. As the molecules rearrange, it absorbs heat energy from the surroundings to break intermolecular bonds, keeping the temperature constant until all the liquid has transformed into solid.


Why do boiled peas remain at the same temperature when placed in a vacuum flask for 72hours?

The boiled peas lost their energy, whilst being boiled. Energy gives out heat, yet the peas did not have any more energy, leaving them to remain as the same temperature as they were. Hope this helps :)


Why does temperature remain constant when wax solidifies?

Temperature remains constant during the solidification of wax because the heat energy released by the wax as it solidifies is absorbed by its surroundings. This is due to the latent heat of fusion, which is the energy required to change a substance from liquid to solid at its melting point without a change in temperature.


What is the constant and the variables in Boyles law?

In Boyle's law, the constant is the temperature of the gas. The variables are the pressure and volume of the gas. Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.


What happends to the speed of a wave if the medium and temperature and pressure do not change?

The speed of a wave remains constant if the medium, temperature, and pressure do not change. This is because the speed of a wave is determined by the properties of the medium through which it is traveling, and as long as those properties remain constant, the speed will also remain constant.

Does the temperature of a boiling liquid increase as it boils?

No. Take water for example. Water boils at 100 degrees C. When water boils it becomes steam. This steam as soon as it is released is 100 degrees C also. The boiling point for a liquid is the point when it becomes a gas.


When heating wax why does the temperature stay fairly constant?

When there is a change of state occuring (in this case from solid to liquid), temperature will remain constant. Energy is absorbed to weaken the intermolecular forces between the wax particles.

Why does the temperature remain constant going from liquid to a gas?

because it doesn't immediately change state, it takes a bit of time for it to transfer.


What must remain constant for Boyle's law to be true?

1. A more correct name is Boyle-Mariotte law. 2. Only the temperature must remain constant.


What happen to the temperature during phase change?

The temperature remain constant.


How could you separate liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen?

By fractional distillation. Allow liquid air to get less cold. At around 77.4K, nitrogen will boil off while oxygen will remain liquid. The temperature will begin to rise again when all the nitrogen has boiled off.


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.


What is the meaning of boiling and of boilingpoint?

Boiling is to heat an liquid to the point where it will turn from a liquid to a gas. Because the substance cannot be at temperature higher than its boiling point the temperature will remain that until all the liquid has been boiled away. That is why if I were to heat some alcohol and water the temperature would remain at about 60oC until all the alcohol had evaporated away. Then the temperature would go to 100oC and the water would boil. The boiling point of substance is the temperature at which the substance will turn from a liquid to a gas. This is about 100oC for water.


What are the signs that a liquid has reached its boiling point?

Oh come one -_-''Its obviousBubbles of vaporised liquid will formThe temperature of the liquid when boiling will remain constant even when more heat is applied.As the liquid is heated, the vapour pressure increases until it equals the pressure of the gas above it.


Why it is that when a pure liquid is boiling its temperature remain constant?

The energy/heat being added to the liquid is used to convert the liquid into a gaseous state, rather than to heat the liquid (you get something similar when you melt ice). Once a gas, the temperature of the substance will start rising further if heat continues to be applied.


What happens to the temperature and the speed of the molecules when gas is compressed?

The temperature and speed remain constant.
