Chapter 12: Problem 70

A beaker of water is heated to boiling by a Bunsen burner. Would adding another burner raise the boiling point of water? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified
No, adding another burner will not raise the boiling point of water. It will only make the water heat faster. The boiling point of water under normal atmospheric pressure always remains 100 °C.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the Boiling Point

The boiling point of a substance, in this case, water, is the temperature at which it changes state from liquid to gas. This is a characteristic property of the substance and doesn't change under normal atmospheric pressure.
02

Applying Heat Source

The Bunsen burner's role is to provide the heat required for the water to reach its boiling point. When the water achieves this temperature, it starts to boil. Adding an additional Bunsen burner might make the water reach its boiling point faster, but it won't change the temperature at which water starts to boil.
