QUESTION:

Place a jar of water on a small stand in a saucepan of water so that the bottom of the jar is held above the bottom of the pan. When the pan is placed on a stove, the water in the pan will boil but the water in the jar will not. Why?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

It is because as the water in the saucepan boils, the temperature of the water in the jar increases, but the thermal equilibrium between the water in the jar and the water in a saucepan, so the temperature of the water in the jar does not rise further.
