How long does it take for serious burn to occur with a liquid at a temperature of 140 degrees?
If the liquid is moving, third degree burns (reddened skin) can occur within a few seconds, second degree (blisters) would take a bit longer. Deep tissue damage (first degree burns) would take longer yet, and might not occur at all depending on a number of factors, such as where the heat is applied. In all cases, the location of the heat on the body is a factor. The inside of the upper arm, for example, will suffer damage much faster than the palm of the hand. If you have a water heater with a thermostat, it is a good idea to keep it at about 120 degrees tops. This is hot enough for washing, minimizes the chance of burns, and will save energy. Even with a home diswasher, 120 degrees is hot enough. (Commercial dishwashers require higher temperatures because of the way they function.)
What else can I help you with?
Does the evaporation of liquid occur only at fixed temperature?
No. The temperature doesn't have to be the same for a liquid to evaperate. so if the temperature was constanly changing then the liquid could still evaperate.
What is the lowest temperature at which fire can occur?
The lowest temperature at which fire can occur is typically around 600 degrees Fahrenheit (315 degrees Celsius).
Can melting and freezing occur at the same temperature in water?
Yes, melting and freezing occur at the same temperature in water, which is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, water transitions between its solid (ice) and liquid forms without changing its temperature.
At what temperature does air freezing occur?
Air freezing occurs at a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.
At what temperature does ice freezing occur?
Ice freezing occurs at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
At what temperature does water freezing occur?
Water freezing occurs at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the temperature of liquid carbon dioxide in Fahrenheit?
At standard pressure, CO2 does not occur as a liquid, the solid phase turns directly into a gas. Liquid carbon dioxide only forms at pressures higher than 5.1 atm. The actual boiling point depends on the pressure. At a particular pressure the liquid may have any temperature between the melting and boiling points. At the lowest pressure where it can exist, liquid carbon dioxide would have a temperature of -56.6 degrees C, or -69.88 degrees F. Under normal pressure conditions, carbon dioxide goes from gas straight to solid when the temperature reaches - 78.5 degrees C.
Does the evaporation of a liquid occur only at a fixed temperature?
yes
What temperature does star fusion begin to occur?
The minimum temperature is about 10,000,000 degrees Celsius.
What must happen to the temperature of the liquid for vaporization to occur?
The temperature of the liquid must reach its boiling point for vaporization to occur. This is when the liquid molecules have enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together and escape into the gas phase.
What is the temperature required for nuclear fusion to occur?
The temperature required for nuclear fusion to occur is around 100 million degrees Celsius.
Is it possible for distilled water in liquid form reach a temperature of 105 degrees Celsius. why or why not?
No, distilled water cannot exceed a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure because it will boil and turn into steam. Temperatures above this point indicate the water is transitioning from a liquid to a gaseous state.
