When you’re boiling a pot of water, right before the water starts to boil if you watch carefully at the bottom of the pot there will be tiny bubbles that form and disappear. Why do they just disappear instead of floating up to the top once they’re already formed??
In: Physics
A serious answer I think what you’re seeing are little bubbles of steam but what happens is when the steam hits the colder water above it it condenses and gives its heat to the colder water above it both waters are probably at 212 degrees boiling water is when more energy is put into the water then can be put into equilibrium so the surplus energy is given off as steam boiling water so the top temperature of water under normal conditions is 212 and then with more energy it’s steam at 212 and then at that point if there’s more energy added the water simply boils faster but that brief moment in time is when the water some of the water is below 212 and the steam transfers the steam is formed and then it transfers to heat up the surrounding water to bring it up to 212
