What is the boiling point of water?!


Question:

What is the boiling point of water?

just seeing if you know!


Answers:
212 degrees Farenheit or 100 degrees celsius

212F or 100C, if i remember correctly.

I believe 212 farenheit....

:0)

The boiling point of water is when the soda pushes all its buttons and makes it totally angry!

212 F

212 degrees

100c, that's how they defined 100c and freezing point for water is 0c. It makes more sense for me than Fahrenheit.

if water is free of impurities then its b/p is 100 degree c

I would say 100 degrees celcius as in pure water.

Water boils at two hundred twelve degrees F, or one hundred degrees C.

And water frezes at thirty two degrees F and zero degrees C

The metric system, used by most of the world, based their system off of water (C), where as standard (F), used in the US, based it on, well, no one knows for sure

In the early 18th century Anders Celsius defined his temperature scale on the melting and boiling temperature of water. You might have been told that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212F) but the boiling point of water actually depends on the oxygen content and atmospheric pressure. The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature at which water boils. People who live at high altitudes, like Tibetans, drink their tea while it is bubbling with boiling. Many Tibetans who moved to India suffered serious burns when they drank their boiling tea at sea-level.

British Standard 6008 and International Standard ISO 3103 advise that tea is best made with water that is freshly boiled. Prolonged boiling of water, or water that is boiled twice, drives off the dissolved oxygen in the water, making the tea taste flat.

Pretty neat info.

212 degrees Farenheit

100C from a canuck

That depends on the impurities in it and the air pressure of the location.

For example water boils at 69c on top of Everest.

However IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry ) standards state that at 1bar (100kPa) the boiling point of water is 99.61c, and that this is the official boiling point

100 degrees Celsius.
