Boiling time and temperature

Mrs. Juan is heating a pure liquid on a stove.  She records the temperature a minute after the liquid starts to boil.  After 20 minutes of boiling, she records the temperature again.  When Mrs. Juan compares the first temperature with the second, what do you think she will find? 

Explain your thinking.  What "rule"or reasoning did you use to select your answer? 

If someone has already left a comment please read and either agree or disagree.  Provide an explanation for your answer.  If you are having computer problems you can pick up a paper version of this question from class. This counts as your weekly homework!

Disagreeing respectful is perfectly acceptable!

    1. I agree! I think it would make complete scence that the the tempeture will increase the longer the water boils

  2. I think the temperature will rise because it is over a long amount of time.

    1. But remember Blake, the boiling temp never changes(depending on the liquid).

    2. i think the tempature will rise but the boiling tempature always stays the same 100 celcius

      Delete
    3. I disagree Paul because remember the boiling temperture is always a 100 degrees celsuis. When it's 20 minutes later, it will stay the same as usual. :)

    4. Actually Meggie it asks to compare the temperatures it says nothing about boiling points so I think whe she records the temp after 20 min. she will find that it has risen because it had a longer time to heat up than one minute.

    5. I agree with you Michael. Sure, the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius but it needs needs to be at least 100 degrees C. If it goes higher than 100 degrees C, it will still boil. So I think the tempature will change.

      Delete
    6. Oops... Sorry I reread the question and thought it over again. The temperature will stay the same because 100 degrees C is the boiling point for water, and if it goes over 100 degrees it will turn into steam (a gas). So I think that the temperature will stay the same.

    7. I agree with Rachel the temperature will stay the same :)

    8. I agree with Michael because if you put a metal spoon in it the first time (we all know metal is a conductor), it would most likely be cooler.

    9. I think the temperature in the water will still stay the same
      because when the water starts to boil, it will be 100 degrees Celsius and the water will become that temperature too. After 20 min. the temperature of the water will still be 100 degrees Celsius.

      Delete
    10. I think the tempeture in the water will stay the same consedering that the noiling temp. will never ever change from 100 degrees celcius.

    11. Water can go over 100* It will just boil faster!

      Delete
    12. I think the temperature will stay the same because the temp wouldn't rise if it just keeps boiling at the same temp.

      Delete
    13. I think the water's temp will be higher as long as there is still water left in whatever container she used.

      Delete
    14. My dad just told me that I was wrong and he studied a lot of chemistry. The water's temp will just stay about 100 degrees celsius unless you change the air pressure in the room Mrs. Juan was heating her water in. :D

      Delete
    15. I think it will rise until it is 100 degrees celsius because it is 100 degrees celsius

      Delete
    16. I agree because it has been a longer amount of time :-)

    17. Only the boiling POINT stays the same (100 degrees C), but the temperature it boils AT can change. So I think first temperature will be less than the second temperature.

      Delete
    18. it will go over 100*C but the boiling temputure will never change

      Delete
  3. Since the boiling temp stays the same, I think she will find out that the temperature will force more bubbles. But it also depends on the liquid. Water would stay at 100 degrees C, but other liquids would probably have a different boiling point.The reason is because the more it boils, the more bubbles it will force.

    1. I agree with Ali water will always boil at 100 degrees celsuis

    2. I also agree with Ali and Remi water always boils at 100 degrees celcius so it should stay the same

    3. I agree with you Izzy because when the temperature is at 100 degrees it stays the same.

  4. I think the temperature will stay the same regaurdless of how long it is boiling. A boiling point is at 100 degrees celcius, so the temperature stays the same. The story says the water or the substance is boiling so it is at 100 degrees celcius and it stays the same temperature

    1. I agree with you

    2. I agree....
      Because the water is at its boiling temp. Its 100 degrees c
      because even if sits there for 14 hours it will still be at 100.

    4. I agree with Ashley the temperature wont change

    5. #1 if it boiled for 14 hours it would be gone by then. #2 Yes. The boiling point doesn't change, but the water can still go over 100*. It will boil faster. But the laws of physics: A substance can go over its melting or boiling point...

      Delete
    6. I agree with you Dawson. But, I hope the water doesn't completely evaporate. So, I think your right when you said that a substance can go over it's boiling poit but, I think we are assuming that Mrs.Juan will only boil the water up to 100 deegres celcius. :)

  5. She will find that the temperature is going to be higher.

  6. I think it will stay the same also because water always boil at 100 degrees celsius or above. :)

    2. yes. It does get hotter when temperature increases. Its common sense!!!

    1. But I disagree..
      heres why ,
      Mrs.Charles told all of us that the water always boils at 100 degrees c. so If the water says boiling or 14 hours it will still be at 100.

    3. I agree with Daniela because if the water starts out at 100 c as the water sits longer and longer the hotter the water will get.

  9. I think that the temperature will stay the same, and is the boiling point. Once it is reached, the fluid will change the phase from liquid to vapor.

  11. I think that the answer is that the tempature will stay the same beacuse the boiling tempature stays the same. So she will find that the tempature has not changed.

    1. I agree with Carolyn that the temp won't change because when a liquid reaches it's boiling point it will always be 100 degrees Celsius so when Mrs.Juan compares the temp. it would still be the same.

    1. I disagree because the water will evaporate as soon as it gets to 100'C it will boil so it will evaporate before it has a chance to get to 101'C

    3. Kunhoo, when it is starting to go over 100*, it wont disappear it will only boil faster.

  13. Mrs.juan will find that the second tempature is hotter because it was heated longer than the first tempature measured

  16. I think it will stay the same because it will ALWAYS ste same .it may be hotter if you touch it after 20 minutes(which i recomend not to since its very hot)

    1. I agree with Franco Grimoldi Calo because water cannot get hotter than 100'C because the water itself cannot go beyond that point. However the pot will get hotter.The water will turn into gas as soon as it reaches that point so it can steam all at once (which is highly unlikely to happen)and steam will come rushing out from the pot.

  17. What I think is that both tempertures would stay the same. Like Mrs. Charles said, the boiling temperture is always a 100 degrees celsuis. As it starts to boil, it's a 100 degrees celsuis. 20 minutes later, it is still the same as always. Comment if you disagree. :)

  22. I think the tempature will stay the same. Beacause when it is boiling point the tempature stays the same

  23. I think it will stay the same because if it is already boiling at 100 degrees celsius than it will not adjust cause it will stay the same cause she wants to boil it at 100 degrees celsius and it will not change the tempature or get hotter in the minutes that pass by.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I think that Mrs.Juan will find out that when it is just boiling for a little bit the water wont boil that high,but if you boil the water for 20 minutes longer the water will be really hot,and boiling overboard.Also if it boils long enough the water will evaporate,and there wont be as much water as you started with.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think it will stay the same because Mrs.Juan didn't increase or decreased the liquid.

    ReplyDelete
  26. It will stay the same because it has already reached the boiling point and that is the highest it can go.

    1. No it can go higher, it will just boil faster

  27. I think the answer is that it will be the same temperature because it doesn't say Mrs.Juan turned the dial higher. So I think that it will stay the same also because the boiling point of water is always the same(100 degrees C).

    ReplyDelete
  28. The temperature will stay the same because there is only one boiling point temperature.

  29. Well it would be very diferent you would need to know at what teameture she put it on and what tipe of liqid it was but it would probable be around 65*F and 120*F.

  40. Good thinking! I like all of the discussion. Something to think about. Mrs. Juan is taking the temp of the water. So if the water is boiling...and turning into a gas...Hmmmm.

  43. it think the temperature will stay the sane because she records the tempeture 1 minuite after the boiling starts to happen and 20 min af†er would be the same because it is already boiling and the boiling tempeture always stays the same at 100c

  54. I chose "A" because the dillema did not say that he turned up the dial at all. It does not say that he turned down the dial either. Pure liquids' boling tempatures cannot be changed. Since he is heating it on a stove, there is no reason for it to cool down, since thestove will not die out.

  55. I think that she will find that the tempature after will be more hot than in only 1 minute. Because if it has more time to get hotter it will be hotter than in one minute.
