Which has the higher temperature - boiling water or ice?
boiling water
What is to purify by boiling and condensing?
This is known as a distillation. Ethanol and water can be separated using this process because their boiling points are different which allows them to be "boiled off" at different temperatures.
Does boiling affect any viruses that might be present?
to a degree but you can have more temperature resistant spores Yes, because virus' cannot survive beyond certain temperatures.
Why do people use alcohol or mercury in the thermometer instead of water?
The main reason that mercury or alcohol is used in thermometers instead of water is due to the fluctuations that are seen in the boiling and freezing points of water which vary with pressure. Water is also used as a standard by which the thermometer is calibrated by. Alcohol's low freezing point makes it perfect for measuring low temperatures, but it's low boiling point means that high temperatures are hard to measure. Plus, it expands very nicely within the capillary tubes in which it is held. Mercury's low freezing point and high boiling point make it ideal for measuring most temperatures. However, mercury is also very expensive and dangerous.
What is the fear of boiling water?
The fear of boiling water refers to either getting burned by the steam, or the boiling water.
What happens to the temperatures of a pot of boiling water as the water evaporates?
The temperature remain unchanged.
Can you put boiling water into plastic US G.I. canteens?
No. Exposing the canteen to boiling temperatures could cause it to crack or split. However, there is a lightweight Tritan polymer canteen that can tolerate boiling temperatures.
What does by boiling water removed?
Boiling water at high temperatures removes any pathogens or disease-causing bacteria present in the water, making it safe to cook with or drink.
Enzymes that can function at boiling water temperatures or other harsh conditions?
Extremozymes
List the Celsius and Fahrenheit boiling temperatures of water?
212 f 100c
How does water change state to water vapor at temperatures well below it's boiling point?
Evaporation.
Would water cycle exist on earth if the boiling point of water was 200 degrees c?
The water cycle is partially dependant on evaporation, not the boiling point. Water evaporates into the atmosphere at temperatures much lower than its boiling point. Higher temperatures cause the water molecules to break free of the water's surface easier, but so do decreases in atmospheric pressure and humidity.
How does boiling water stop the spread of typhoid?
Typhoid bacteria is often spread through water and cannot survive high temperatures like the 100oC of boiling water so by boiling the water the typhoid bacteria is killed and the chance of transmission is reduced.
Enzymes that can function at boiling water temperatures or other harsh conditions would be termed?
Extremoenzymes
How can raw water be purified by distillation?
Distillation involves boiling water at 100°C, then recondensing the steam to make pure water.Many alcohols will boil out at lower temperatures (and hopefully can be separated).Sediments remain in the boiling apparatus.If temperatures are well controlled, the result is very pure water. One would also note that boiling water will kill most organic organisms too.
What is the point of freezing water in centergrade?
Centigrade important temperatures for water: Freezing: 0 degrees. Boiling: 100 degrees.
What is the freezing point and boiling point of water when the pressure of the water is 1 atm?
These temperatures are 0 0C and 100 0C.
