Room temperature water is placed in an Erlenmyer flask and heated to the boiling point. After the flask is removed from the heat source boiling ceases. Then a rubber stopper is placed in the mouth of the Erlenmyer flask to seal it from outside air. The flask is then placed in an ice bath. After a few moments the water begins to boil again. What phenomenon causes the water to boil again?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

When water is boiled in the flask . Some portion of it is evaporated out . Now when cork is placed on it and is placed in the ice box . It cools down , by which the pressure inside decreases .

Due to decrease of pressure , the boiling point of water also decreases . Now it can boil at lower temperature . Thus it starts boiling at lower temperature even , when placed in the ice box .
