Hey all. A friend and I just got into some interesting topics on using Boyle's and... the other two laws to explain some situations. Perhaps you guys could shed some light:

a) Water boils over in a pot after heated for a long time

-is this because the increased temp causes increased pressure, but since the system is open, the pressure . rises out?
-you guys try to explain

b) Pressure increases as temperature increases, correct? So, does water in a beaker increase pressure on the beaker as it is heated from 0 degrees to 20 degree?

c) RELATED TO B)   , Water is steaming out of the beaker.... Does that evaporating water simply affect the pressure increase that is occuring due to pressure increases based on the boiling water?

b) Pressure increases as temperature increases, correct? So, does water in a beaker increase pressure on the beaker as it is heated from 0 degrees to 20 degree?

Since when water (liquid) obeys ideal gas equations?
