Two containers, A and B,of the same thickness were filled with 1000ml and 800ml of water respectively. Both containers were heated over two seperate flames till the water reached the boiling point. Give two conclusions that can be made from the result of the experiment.

Oops, sorry..I forgot to put up this statement as well: Thw water in both containers took exactly 10minutes to reach the boiling point.

Water will boil at the same temperature (i.e. 100 degrees C) in both containers, but the one with less liquid will reach boiling point before the other.

Water in container A takes more time to reach the boiling point as compared to water in container B.

1. time taken to reach the boiling point remains unaltered by whatever the level it contained.
2. thickness of the containers have an impact on boiling point. since both the containers had same thickness in this case, it did not affect the time factor

Assuming that both had burners with equal flame temperature
Container B with 800 ml came to a boil quicker - less mass absorbed BTU's quicker
Container B with 800 ml will have used fewer (less) BTU's to get
its volume to boiling temperature
and it's only 4:30 - time for bed - turn up my flame! I need
hot chocolate!
