Answer

unknown liquid

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. The diagram shows a boiling tube containing the substance labeled as part Y, with a thermometer inserted into it.

  2. The boiling tube is placed inside a larger container (beaker) labeled "Water," which acts as a water bath.

  3. This is the standard laboratory setup for determining the boiling point of a liquid.

    The water bath heats the contents of the boiling tube uniformly to prevent superheating or decomposition.

  4. The thermometer measures the temperature of the substance in the boiling tube (part Y) as it boils.

    Therefore, the substance in part Y is the unknown liquid (or the liquid whose boiling point is being determined).
