The Leidenfrost Effect

The video tutorial explains the properties of water, including its chemical composition and states. It introduces the Leidenfrost effect, a phenomenon where a liquid forms an insulating vapor layer when in contact with a surface hotter than its boiling point. The video demonstrates this effect with a safe experiment using a frying pan and water droplets, showing how droplets can slide and bounce on a hot surface.

What is the chemical formula for water?

• O2

At what temperature does water boil?

• 0 degrees Celsius

• 50 degrees Celsius

• 100 degrees Celsius

• 200 degrees Celsius

What phenomenon explains why water droplets don't evaporate immediately on a hot surface?

• Leidenfrost effect

• Greenhouse effect

• Coriolis effect

• Doppler effect

Who discovered the Leidenfrost effect?

• Marie Curie

• Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost

What happens to water droplets on a very hot pan?
