Question

How is the heat energy supplied to a liquid used during boiling at a fixed temperature?

Open in App

Solution

When heat is supplied, temperature of liquid rises continuously till the water starts boiling at 100°C. Once the water starts boiling, its temperature does not rise further, although heat is still being supplied. This heat is being used to change each and every water molecule into vapour.
