Question

When you boil water, it cannot be kept hot
indefinitely without a heat source. explain why

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is like an enormous heat sponge. It can soak up a huge amount of energy without changing its temperature very much. This is the reason why after reaching 100° centigrade, water stays at that temperature for a long time, and a lot of energy is required to boil the water and turn it into steam.

Answer 2
