Best Answer

Aluminum is less dense than steel, so has less mass per volume to absorb heat energy. For the same amount of heat energy put into the same volume of aluminum and steel, the aluminum will increase in temperature faster since there is less mass to heat up. This is also known as thermal inertia. Aluminum has less thermal inertia than steel.

aluminum would, because steel ones absorb the heat more.

A watched pot never boils does not have an express origin. It is called an idiom. It means something else besides what it implies.


What boils faster salt water or plain water?

For salt water to boil faster than plain water, the salt concentration would have to be fairly high. In addition, the salt water would need to be a salt water solution before putting the pot on to heat because of the density of the water content itself.

Why large bubbles form when water boils what are the bubbles made of?

When water boils, the bubbles are made of water vapor. Water is changing from the liquid phase to the gas phase, but it doesn't change all at once, so you get bubbles of gas inside the liquid. The phase change will happen first at the location where heating is taking place, so if you have a pot on a stove, the bubbles will form at the bottom of the pot, and then rise to the top.


Explain why a watched pot of water never boils in terms of specific and latent heats?

water vapourizes when its temperature is higher than 100 degree Celsius. when the pot of water is immersed in 100C water bath, its temperature attains its maximum at 100C so no vapourization will occur.


Describe what happens when someone boils a pot of water in relation to heat energy?

How do you prepare distil water?

It is easy to prepare distilled water at home. Simply fill a large pot with water and place a collection container inside the pot. As the water boils, the steam is collected inside the collection container. This collected steam is distilled water and it should be stored in a sterile container.
