How to Boil Liquid
- 1). Fill a beaker with the liquid you want to boil. The more liquid you place in the beaker, the longer it will take to bring to a boil.
- 2). Place the liquid-filled beaker above the Bunsen burner, then light the Bunsen burner.
- 3). Adjust the flame of the Bunsen burner so that the flame comes just up to the beaker, then wait until the liquid is hot enough to come to a boil.
