A temperature at which internal pressure become equal to atmospheric pressure is called boiling point

At boiling point kinetic energy of liquid molecules remains constant ,although heat is continously supplied that is why boiling point of a liquid remains constant.

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 is that when a pure liquid is boiled 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.


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.

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.


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.


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.

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

The temperature and speed remain constant.


Which variables must be kept constant for Boyle's law to hold?

Temperature and the amount of gas (moles) must be kept constant for Boyle's law to hold true. This means the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional provided the temperature and amount of gas remain constant.
