Like any substance water
has measurable and non-measurable properties.
* Left: Water is
colourless and transparent only in the liquid state. Ice is white and turbid.
* Transfer 20 ml distilled
water into an infusion bottle, close it by a stopper with a thermometer
and a tubing
* Place it into a
deep freezer (inside a plastic container).From time to time observe and
note the temperature.
* Photo 2 Oberservation:
The temperature is the same during the whole process of freezing.
The thermometer reads
- 4°C, it was re-adjusted 0°C, the melting point of distilled water.
* Heat the bottle on an
electric hotplate. Observation:
0°C
as long as ice is present.
* After that: Quick rise
of temperature.
* Photo 3 and rightObservation:
Temperature remains the same during boiling:
The thermometer read
98°, it was re-adjusted 100°C, the boiling point of water.
Explanation:
0°C
and 100°C are melting point and boiling
point of water. More explanation?
