Mrs. Demeris is boiling water on the stove. She turns the temperature dial up to high to boil the water. The water is boiling vigorously with large bubbles quickly forming and bursting at the surface. Mrs. Demeris then turns the dial of the stove down to low. The water is boiling gently, with smaller bubbles slowly forming and bursting at the surface. Mrs. Demeris wonders if the boiling temperature changes when she turns the dial. What would you tell Mrs. Demeris?
A: The boiling temperature is greater when the dial is set at high.
B. The boiling temperature is greater when the dial is set at low/
C. The boiling temperature is the same at both settings.

the boiling temperature is greater when the dial is set at high
ReplyDeleteI agree because the higher you turn the dial the hotter the water will get
DeleteI think thta the temp. will change when you turn the dial.
Deleteme to but the boiling point always stays the same but at the same time the water is getting hotter so the answear is C
DeletePaul I think you are correct because changing the temperature cannot change the boiling point. Also all water will boil at 100 degrees Celsius the only way to change the boiling point would be to change the air pressure. Fay you are also right the temp will change when you turn the dial but the question asks will the boiling point change. So the answer is C the boiling temperature is the same at both settings.
Deletesame here because no matter what the boiling point is it won't change
DeleteYaa you can never change the boiling point so i think C.

ReplyDeletei disagree the answer is c
DeleteI think it's answer C because water only boils at a certain temperature. the boiling temperature always stays the same at 100 degrees Celsius.
DeleteI agree with both of you :) i had read the problem wrong.
DeleteThat isn't true because water STARTS to boil at 100 degrees celsius but also boils at any temperature greater than that, so I agree the answer is A.
Deletei think the awser is C because the boling toint never changes
Deleteit stays at 100 degree celsius
This comment has been removed by the author.
Deletethe boiling temperature is the same because all water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
ReplyDeleteI think it is A beacause it's boiling fast but when she turns the tempeture down it does not boil as much.
ReplyDeleteSorry i have to disagree with you Ashton because the boiling temp. never wont ever change no matter what you do to it
DeleteI think the answer is A because when the dial is on high the bubbles we bursting fast and on low it brought the boiling down to a soft bubble
ReplyDeleteSorry, I read the problem wrong.I think the answer is actully C because when water boils, it boils at a constant temperature. It doesn't matter whether the dials is high or low, it will still stay the same.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Michael G. The correct answer is C. If you put a thermometer in the pot, it will measure the same temperature regardless of where the dial is set (100 degC).
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is A. because the higher you turn the dial then the bubbles go faster and more come.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Molly.
DeleteYes but the boiling point stays the same.
DeleteI don't agree with Molly because the boiling temperature always stays the same.
DeleteI think the answer is C because the boiling point of water is always 100 degries celcius so th temprature will stay the same no matter what setting you put the dial on
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteI agree with you Ashley
Deletei agree
DeleteI think its (A) because the if you crank up the dial the stove will heat the pot and the water will get warmer.
ReplyDeleteBut its asking you about the boiling point not the rate of evaporation.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI think A is the anwser
ReplyDeleteWhy?
DeleteI disagree with Arshee S because I think C is the right answer because the boiling point never changes and is always at 100 Celcius.
ReplyDeletei also agree with Arshee
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you and arshee because the boiling temp for water is 100 C. the temp will change but as long as the temp stays above 100 C, the water will keep boiling.
DeleteAgreed.
Deletei think the answers A because it makes sense that if your turn it up its gets hotter and starts boiling.
ReplyDeleteYes. But the boiling point stays the same it's not asking about the rate of evaporation.
DeleteA, cuz its obvious
ReplyDeleteServerbuildsuac.blogspot.com
Don't be to confident.
DeleteYou do realize that its asking if the boiling point changed.
And the boiling point always stays at 100*C.
Diego, you need to explain your thinking in order to get credit for the homework. :)
DeleteI think it is A because when the temp is hotter on the stove it will boil and be hotter.
ReplyDeleteI think A ecause when it was higher, it was boiling faster
ReplyDeleteIm Adam L.
DeleteHello. Yes you are right about that, but the boiling point never changes. It stays at 100*C. And that is what it is, not the rate of boiling.
DeleteI agree with adam the answer is A
DeleteBut the boiling point doesnt change. Only the tempature of the water istself
DeleteDawson is pretty certain here. I like that he is so confident.
DeleteI agree with Adam its A because the water does boil faster.:)
Deletei think it is be cause when you turn the deil or what ever up you can see tempature lines and when you turn it up the tempature goes up if you turn it down the tempature will go down it will not atomaticley turn down but at some point it will have to go down so i think its b if any one disagree tell me please!!!!!!!!!1
ReplyDeleteam sorry I think the answer is A ---i got mixed up
DeleteI agree with you paul
DeleteSorry Paul but i disagree with your answer because the boiling point never changes.
DeleteI disagree with paul because no matter what the dial is turned to, the temputure stays the same.
DeleteThe answer is A. When the dial turns to high, the temperture rises that makes the water boil quicker and form big bubbles. When the dial turns low, the temperture reduces that makes the water settle down and only form small bubbles. Therefore, the boiling temperture is greater when the dial is set to high! :)
ReplyDeleteMeggie,I disagree with you because it doesn't change its boiling temp. it only changes the actually temp.
DeleteSorry actual
DeleteI agree with you Remi because when she changes the temp it just changes the temp on the water not the actual boiling point for water.
DeleteI agree with you the boiling point never changes.
Deleteno it c i got confused again th boilling tempature it self does not change but the tempature does
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is A. because when the temperture rises it's getting hotter.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you Reece because the question was asking did the boiling tempature change, not the tempature of the water. The boiling tempature will always be 100 degrees C. When you turn the dial up the bubbles will get bigger because the the tempature is higher.
DeleteI think the answer is c.
DeleteI agree with Rachel
DeleteYeah. Rachel is right because its asking if the boiling point changed. But it cant be changed
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThe boiling point is always at 100 celcius so I think the correct answer is C
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is C. Because the boiling temperature will always stay 100 degrees C. Water's boiling point is 100 degrees C.
ReplyDeleteI think it is A because the higher the temperaturethe more bubbles.
ReplyDeleteIf this question were on a quiz I would definetly choose A. Only because the higher she set the dial the higher the water boiled in the pot with the water in it. My answer is A.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you Madisyn because water boils at 100 degrees celsius or above
DeleteThe answer is C, because water boils at 100 C. The actual temp will get hotter when Mrs. Demeris turns the dial up, and vise versa. As long as the temp remains above 100 C, the water will keep boiling (before it all evaporates). Although, the hotter it gets, the more vigerously the water boils. (Thus explaining the bubbles).
ReplyDeleteBut did you know that you can barley change the boiling point if you change the air pressure around it. Because it typically is always trying to boil but the air pressure keeps it forced down.
DeleteMan you're smart, and I agree highly that you can barely change the boiling point if you change the air pressure around it.
DeleteWhen i reread the question and the answers A is wrong because the boiling point never changes no matter what.They think they you are referring
ReplyDeleteto the actual temp. when you are actually talking about the boiling point in the answer. I think thats where people are getting confused.
but if you turn it up then of course its going to be higher
Deleteyou are right! thx
Deletenever mind I take back my answer the answer is really C
ReplyDeleteThe answer is not C. because it asked if Mrs.Demeris turned up the dial will the temperature will change. So that is why the answer is A.
ReplyDeleteIt actually is C. Because she turns up the temperature it boils faster, but the boiling point stays the same.
DeleteMolly,I think the answer is C because it asks if the the boiling point changed
DeleteEVERYONE WHO SAID "A" OR "B" NEEDS TO READ THE PROBLEM AGAIN. AND REALLY PAY ATTENTION.
ReplyDeleteDawson I love your passion on this pointbut did you know that , typing in all caps indicates that you are yelling at someone? Try to disagree respectfully. :)
DeleteWell considering how many people I think didn't understand someone else might have done it.
DeleteI think that the answer is C. The answer is C because BOILING POINT does not change no matter what. It will always be 100 degrees Celsius as long a you have bubbles bursting at the top you have boiling water. If you have water that is 100 degrees celsius or higher it is boiling. If you add more heat the water will change temp. but boiling point will not change.
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is A because it gets hotter if you turn the dial.
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is the first one which is A.
ReplyDeleteBecause the hotter the flames are the higher the water rises and when it rises it creats bubbles and gets really hot.
DeleteI think the answer is C because the temperature will never change
ReplyDeleteI agree wit Donya G. because the boiling point never changes.
DeleteI chose a because the boiling point is at 100 degrees and it was boiling at high. But when she put it on low it was not boiling
ReplyDeletei would choose A because when the stove was on high the water was bubbling and when it was on low it was not bubbling as much.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you because the question is asking if the boiling point changes and the boiling point always stays at 100 Celsius so I think the answer is C.
Deletei agree with matthewv
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletei think the answer is a beacause the boliling tempture has to change when you turn the dial otherwise they probley woudnt be called hi and low
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what I think. So I agree with you.
DeleteI think the ancwer is A because the boiling point is 100 degrees celcus and when the dial is turned to high the more hotter it is
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kirby.K
ReplyDeletei think A because the boiling point there's only is a little bubbles but if Mrs.D brings the dial a little more there is more heat which makes more bubbles.:]
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is A beacuse in the paragraph when the dial is on high the water was boiling furiusly and when it was low it was not boiling very fast.
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is C instead of A because the boiling temperature doesn't change but the real temperature does.
DeleteI agree with Tran :) because the boiling temperature dosn't change but the temperature of the water will change.
DeleteI think the answer is A because, when you turn the dial higher the temperature of the stove increases and when you put the dial lower the temperature of the stove decreases.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Daniela. Because when you turn the dial up, it will get hot and lots of bubbles will appear. If you turn it down, it will get cooler.
DeleteI disagree because even if you change the temperature of the water, the boiling point stays the same, no matter how vigorously the water boils. In other words, If you changed the waters temperature to 100 degrees C., the boiling point wouldn't change to 150 degrees C. or anything above 100 degrees C..
DeleteI think the answer is "C". The boiling point of water is always 100 degrees cesius.
DeleteIf you read your science vocabulary cards, you'll see the answer is C.
ReplyDeleteLast night I put A but now I think the answer is C because the water is boilng ether way.
ReplyDeleteI agree. But wouldn't the boiling point increase because the dial is changing the tempter...
DeleteI agree
DeleteI think C because its already boiling at 100 celsuis
Thats why i picked C.
The temp. it is currently boiling at can change but the boiling point is always 100 degrees.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI think it is "B". I think the colder it gets (the lower the dial is set) the more heat it will take to turn it into steam (or a gas). And the point or tempter when a liquid turns into a gas is the boiling point. I hope I proved my answer good enough!
ReplyDeleteBut when you said why u think it is B you are really saying A. and by what Carolina said above the answer is C
DeleteFirst of all, I am not boiling any water. Just kidding! What's with all of these misspelled words and the letter I not capitalized? Does anyone realize that a Language Arts teacher might be reading this???
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteDon't u mean A. BTW the answer is C because the boiling point itself did not change.
DeleteI think it is C because the boiling point is 100 degrees and it has to be 100 degrees to boil. if less it technically wont be boiling. : )
ReplyDeleteThe computer asked me if i was a robot... Am i a robot? yes
ReplyDeleteits protection against hackers, David.
Deletei agree with david m so ya i think its c because like u taught us it is 100 degrees is the boiling point :)
ReplyDeletehello peeps i want to hear your answer:)
ReplyDeleteI think personly the anser is A beacse the water will get hotter becase when the dial is turned up it gets hotter,colder is down hotter is up, so thats why my anser is A.
ReplyDeleteYes the temp. does get higher but it's askiing if the boiling PoInT changed.
DeleteDaniel I disagree it's C because the boiling point never changed.
DeleteI DISAGREE because even if you turn the temp. up the boiling point never changed.
Deletei think the anwser is c because the boiling tempeture is always 100 degrees celcius it does not matter how slow or fat it gets there it will get there
ReplyDeleteI agree Rachel because like you said, it is always the same temperature in water no matter what force it is.
Deletei think that a is the correct answer because there were more bubbles when the tempera was higher than when it was lower.
ReplyDeleteBut the boiling point didn't change.
Deletehi
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the answer is A because it says that when she set the dial up high, the pot started bubbling.
ReplyDeleteBit the boiling point didn't change. and its asking if it changed or not...
DeleteI think the answer is a because when it is boiling with alot of bubbles it shows that it is hot. A pan with water not as much boiling means that it is'nt as hot.
ReplyDeleteBut its asking if the boiling point changed. But it always stays at 100*C
DeleteI think the answer is C because the temperature stays at 100 degrees Celsius. But at the same time I think it is A. I also think that by turning up the dial, the boiling temperature becomes hotter. More steam comes out when the dial is turned. That indicates it is hot.
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to be rude, but I think that anyone who said "A" or "B" just really needs to try to really understand. Everyone who said "A" or "B" says that when you turn it up it is hotter, and when is turned down it is colder. That is right, but its asking if the BOILING POINT changed, and the boiling point stays at 100 degrees Celsius.
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is C because you can still stay at the same tempature stays the same at 100 degrees celsius and it could still boil big and small depending on what type of ingredints you are putting in. Also because it can be how much is in the pot.
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is "C" because, in class we learned that the boiling point of water is 100 degees celsius and it doesn't change. I think that I am right, but if you think I'm wrong please reply. :D
ReplyDeleteNEVER because I choose C because no matter where you turn the dial the boiling still is the same.
DeleteI think the answer is A because the temperature is changing as you can see with the bubbles.
ReplyDeleteI think you are write because it would have stop boling it is C.
Deletenever mind
Deletenever mind to this
DeleteI think it is C
DeleteI think the answer is C because no matter what you do to the dial the boiling point is 100 degrees celsius.
ReplyDeleteI think that to.
DeleteI agree to because how high the dial is only affects the speed not the temp.
Delete(continuing from the last one) that it boils at. Their I finished my sentence
DeleteI think c is the answer because the boiling temp. doesn't change either way.(It's talking about if the boiling temp. changes F.Y.I.)
ReplyDeleteI agree no matter were the boiling point is it's still the same.
DeleteI think the answer is C because turning up the dial only increases the force of the boil.
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, yes. See he is right. The boiling point doesnt change!!!!!!!!!
DeleteTo me, I would think the answer is "C" because no matter how high the water boils, the boiling point will always stay the same.
ReplyDeleteI agree because when you change it the boiling point stays the same.
DeleteI can tell you that the answer is most likely "C" because no matter how much the water boils, the boiling point will always stay the same.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what, liquid is still changing to a gas. However, the speed of the physical change may be different depending on if the dial is high or low.
ReplyDeleteI think you are wrong because it is not asking if the boiling temp. changes not the speed
DeleteI agree because if you don't change it from low and high, even if you pour it into another cup it's still the same water
ReplyDeleteI think the correct answer is C because it is asking if the boiling point will change, if you turn the dial in any direction the boiling point will still be 100 celcius, it doesn't matter how big or small the bubbles are the boiling point will always be 100 celcius
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteI agree with Ali and Grant cause even if you turn the dial up its still going to be 100 degrees celsius and if you turn the dial down its going to be 100 degrees celsius. The only way to change the tempature would be to change the air pressure otherwise then there both at 100 degrees celsius.
ReplyDeleteI agree with answer C because it dosent mater were the dial is set because the boiling temputre of water doesnt change
ReplyDeletethe water will stop boiling after a cupel of min =(
Deleteanswer is c because she did first she did high and next she did low so it dosent chang.
ReplyDeletei think it's b because we know that water heats up a lot when you put it on high but when you lower the heat i think the gas evaporates into the air and i think in the procces the water will heat up more but then atomaticly evaporate
ReplyDeleteI disagree because the boiling point can't change unless you use air pressure so other than that then it's always going to be 100 degrees celsius.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI think A because when the dial is set to high, its higher, and it bubbled like crazy.
ReplyDeletei agree with Adam on a it bubbled like crazy=0
DeleteI think the answer is c because water always bolis at 100 degrees C no matter what size bubbles
ReplyDeleteI think its A because the water will boil and the bubbels are coming up faster than smaller bubbles coming up when the stove was turned down so that is my answer if there is some thing wrong please comment on it =)
ReplyDeleteI think the anser is A because when the dial is set at high the water is boiling high.The water wouldent be boiling high when the dial is at low.
ReplyDeletejust saying boiling temperature means boiling point.
ReplyDeleteI changed my answer to C from A. Thanks Dawson. I think it's C because the only way to change the temperature is to use air pressure otherwise the temp. will always stay at 100 degrees celsius no matter what.
ReplyDeleteYeah, did you learn that from my reply to Sarah Dean.
DeleteI think the answer is A because when the dial is set to high the bubbles were so high they almost flew out of the pot. But when she turned the dial down, the bubbles got lower. The only way the bubbles went down was because of the temperature dropping. That is why I think the correct answer is A.
ReplyDeleteI agree whith Jackson beacase water boils at 100 degrees celsius if you turn the temp up the water will get eaven hoter. Thats why A is the correct answer.
DeleteC is wrong beacase low is 100 degrees celsius on high the water could get up to at least 130 degrees celsius at least thats why C is wrong.
Deleteyes but the boiling point cant be 130
Deletei think its A
ReplyDeleteI think it is A. because when the dial turns up the bubbles move faster that is why I think the answer is A
ReplyDeleteI agree with what he said
DeleteI think its A because when you turn the dial to high the the bubbles are moving faster and when you turn the dial to low the bubbles move slowly
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jackson and Malcolm because when she turned the dial up the water got warmer so the bubbles broke the surface quicker but when she turned the dial down the water gets cooler so the bubbles broke the surface slower
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is A because the boiling point of the water should go higher when you turn up the dial and when you turn it down to low the bubbles go slower.
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is C because the boiling point never changes.
ReplyDeletei think its A because when you turn it up it goes faster when you turn it down the bubbles move slower
ReplyDeleteI, Alexander J. Monson,
ReplyDeleteam forced to agree with Ethan N, whom I believe is tempted to choose C for his answer.I think this because the boiling point of water stays the same, but the more heat that is added the more air bubbles are forced up becaues heat makes air rise.
hope you enjoyed my sincere responce,
Alex/Alexander Joel Monson
A because if you turn up the dial it will increase the heat and the tempature of the heat will cause the water to boil. It gets so hot it just boils and steam will appear also.
ReplyDeletei think the answer is C because the temerature would not change but there will be more bubbles coming up. other people are saying that the answers are A and B but i say the answer is C.
ReplyDeleteI think its A because when it was on high, itwas boiling vigrously
ReplyDeleteI think its A. because when the dial is turned to high the temp of the heat rises and gets hotter to make the water boil faster.
ReplyDeleteThe water is boiling more if the dial is set at high.I thought that the water would boil more if the dial is greater than if the dial is at low.
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is C because it doesn't matter how hot it is the boiling temprture is always 100 degrees celsius.
ReplyDeleteI think the answer is A because more bubbles are created as the water gets hotter.
ReplyDelete
