The temperature that water boils at depends on the surrounding air pressure. In order for water to boil it must overcome this pressure to enter its vapour phase aka vapour pressure. At sea level, water boils near 100 degrees celcius if it is pure water. At higher altitudes like Mount Everest, water may boil as low at 50 degrees celcius due to the low air pressure. The purity of the water may also effect the vapour pressure. Dissolved salts and impurities cause a increase in boiling point and decrease in freezing point.

∙ 10y agoThe typical boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius. However, under certain conditions such as increased or decreased pressure, water may not boil exactly at this value. Additionally, a lack of nucleation sites may allow water to boil beyond its boiling point, thus becoming superheated.

∙ 13y agoBecause at that point, it boils and evaporates, turning into steam. If you kept it under pressure so that it is unable to turn into steam, then water can go way hotter. Unfortunately, that would take a lot of scientific equipment.

∙ 15y agoWhen water "boils" it also changes it's form - the atomic connections kinda break up and the water becomes to steam.

What happens to water at 25 degrees celsius?
Nothing. It is a liquid. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius, and boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
Why does water not freeze at 4 degrees Celsius?
Ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius. That is a speciality of water. At 3.98 degrees Celsius, the density of water is highest before it begins to form ice crystals. Water at this temperature may be a slush of water and ice.
What temperature water boils and freezes at in celsius?
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius and freezes at 0 degrees Celsius.
Does water get any hotter if you keep heating it past 100 degrees?
Water does not get hotter than 100 degrees because of a heating curve. During a phase change (in this case vaporization) the temperature remains the same. Once the phase change is complete the temperature will continue to rise but the water will have been completely evaporated. So no, water can not be heated to more than 100 degrees Celsius.
When does it hit the freezing point of water in degrees celsius?
0 degrees celsius is the freezing point of water.
Is 32 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than 5 degrees Celsius?
No, its colder. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 0 degrees Celsius, so 5 degrees Celsius would be hotter.
What is hotter 100f or100c?
100 degrees Celsius is hotter. 100 degrees Celsius is mad temperature for weather and it is the temperature that the water boils.
Which is hotter 30 degrees Celsius or 30 degrees Fahrenheit how do you know?
The freezing point of water is zero Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit. 30 F is below freezing, 30 C is above it. 30 C is hotter.
In Arkansas What is 120 degrees Celsius?
120 degrees Celsius is approximately 248 degrees Fahrenheit.
How hot is 300 degrees celsius?
It is 3 times hotter than the boiling point of water, it is 572 degrees Fahrenheit and 573 degrees Kelvin.
Is Fahrenheit warmer or colder than Celsius?
Neither. German scientist Daniel Fahrenheit measured the temperature of the coldest concoction he could produce, and called that temperature 'zero'. The Swedish scientist Anders Celsius took the freezing point of water and called that'zero'.Mr. Fahrenheit's concoction was much colder than the freezing temperature of water, so his zero is much lower than Mr. Celsius' zero. That is why zero Celsius equals 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature measured is in reality of course the same , but in Fahrenheit's scale it is indicated by a higher number.
Is there any way of making water hotter than 100 degrees celsius without pressurising it?
Yes. Water will gradually evaporate. Allthough before it does this it is possible for the water to reach temperatures of over 200 degrees celsius with a high amount of heat applied.
Is 35 degrees Celsius hotter than 5 degrees Celsius?
Yes, 35 °C is warmer than 5 °C. The temperatures on the Celsius scale increase from 0°C for the freezing point of water to 100°C for the boiling point.
What is the boiling point(in degrees Celsius) of water?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and the melting point of water is 0 degrees Celsius
What is the boiling point of water in degrees Celsius on a thermometer?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and the melting point of water is 0 degrees Celsius
Is Water Hotter Than Venus?
No! The Hottest Water On Earth is 407 celsius and Venus Is Hotter Than That! You Can't Get Water Hotter Than Venus!
What is the degrees for boiling water in Celsius?
100 degrees Celsius
