If you continued to heat a pot of water after it reached its boiling point, what would happen?

Question

A.Its temperature would stay at 100° C.
B.Its temperature would drop below 100° C.
C.Its temperature would rise above 100° C, then slowly drop.
D.Its temperature would rise above 100° C.

Answer 1

temperature stays at 100C until all the water is boils away.

This is how a rice-cooker works. It measures the temperature, and when it rises above 100C, it knows all the water is gone and turns off.

Answer 2

well assuming your not going to boil away the water. in denver colorado it would boil at about 95* c constantly. but at sea level, it would remain at about 100* c. and as long as you remain at the same altitude, it would remain constant for that altitudes pressure gradient, and the excess heat flux is carried off by the evaporated steam. so that you have reached equalibrium, where the same amount of heat enterring is leaving. and thus cannot achieve any higher temp, without an increase or decrease in pressure or added impurities.

Answer 3

D. If the heat remained constant the water would continue to boil until it evaporated.

Answer 4

What are you like, did you put that one in to see if you could trick people....the water would evaporate, and the pot would boil dry.

Answer 5

Theoretically your answer should be A.

Practically your ansewr will be likely to be D. Unless if is a DISTILLED WATER... you will always having a foreign particle inside your water.

Answer 6

The extra heat goes into creating steam (also 100C)

A.

Answer 7

The water would begin to evaporate.....

Answer 8

You'd ruin the pot.

Answer 9

c

Answer 10

i would say D
