A double boiler is used when a careful control of temperature is required in cooking. Water is boiled in an outside container to produce steam, and the steam condenses on the outside walls of an inner container in which cooking occurs. (A related laboratory device is called a steam bath.) (a) How is heat energy conveyed to the food to be cooked in a double boiler? (b) What is the maximum temperature that can be reached in the inside container?
When a wax candle is burned, the fuel consists of gaseous hydrocarbons appearing at the end of the candle wick. Describe the phase changes and processes by which the solid wax is ultimately consumed.
Surface tension, viscosity, and vapor pressure are all related to intermolecular forces. Why do surface tension and viscosity decrease with temperature, whereas vapor pressure increases with temperature?
One of the following substances is a liquid at room temperature and the others are gaseous: \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\) \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8} ; \mathrm{N}_{2} ; \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O} .\) Which do you think is the liquid? Explain.
