Does distiled water boil?!


Question: My brother says it will explode.


Answers: My brother says it will explode.

It will boil like any other water.

Your brother is thinking about water heated in a microwave oven. Pure water, heated by microwave, can become "super-heated" and upon opening the door and inserting a spoon or about anything else, the water can "explode" into steam, splattering you and badly burning the skin.

But in a pan,over regular heat, you should just see a regular boil.

If you are still worried--just add a dash of salt to the water.

I doubt it would explode
....I think it will still boil, because it IS water

It will boil at 212 degrees F. Just like water.

It's just water. Of course it will boil.

Yes it will boil..its water!

water is boiled to become distilled
