Concept explainers
To Explain: 2 liters of boiling water does not have twice as great a temperature as 1 liter of boiling water.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Boiling point refers to the temperature at which the vapor pressure of liquid is equal to surrounding pressure and liquid changes to vapor.
The boiling point of water does not depend on the volume of water. It can vary with the altitude but different volumes of water at same altitude have the same boiling point.
Conclusion:
Thus, 2 L of boiling water does not have twice as great as temperature as 1 L of boiling water.
