In practice, water almost never boils at exactly 100 degrees Celsius. There are many factors which will impact on the boiling point of water. Contaminants will alter it, and since water is extremely corrosive it is never found in its pure form under natural conditions. Barometric pressure also has an effect; the higher above sea level, the lower the boiling point of a substance becomes. At the peak of Everest (29,000 feet above sea level), for example, water boils at a mere 69 degrees Celsius. Yet, at atmospheric pressure (1 ATM = 760 mm Hg = 101.3 kPa), water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.

Not 100 Degrees Fahrenheit

No, water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. In degrees Fahrenheit, water boils at 212 degrees.

What is the melting point of pure ice?

The boiling point of pure water is typically about 100 degrees Celsius. This value can vary based on factors such as pressure. Additionally, impurities in a sample of water can alter its boiling point.

The answer to your question is zero degrees Celsius = 32 degrees Fahrenheit


Which will have the greater density water at 40 degrees Celsius or water at -20 degrees Celsius?

Water at -20 degrees Celsius; heat will expand matter, so at +40 degrees Celsius, water would have less density. * * * * * That would be true if there were no phase change. Unfortunately for the above answer, water freezes at 0 deg C and that phase change is accompanied by an expansion. As a result, water at 40 deg C is denser that water (ice) at -20 deg C.


To what temperature before water will boil?

Water (h2o) boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. It boils at 100 degrees Celsius This is however dependent upon atmospheric pressure. The above is true down at sea level all over the world (however minor differences can be measured contributed by high or low pressure at the time.) Very high up in the Andes mountains it is said that water boils at such a low temperature that it is even difficult to boil an egg without a pressure cooker. You can easily make an experiment regarding boiling hot water. Fill up a syringe halfway (preferably a large one) with boiling hot water. Plug the hole at the end, and pull some more to make a negative pressure inside. You will see the water starting to bubble. It boils due to the lowering of the pressure inside.


True or false when the temperature of water drops to 0 degrees Celsius its molecules form regular patterns which are crystals?

True


Is this true during the change of state of a substance a constant temperature is maintained?

Yes, that is quite true. Liquid water, for example, which boils at 100o Celsius, cannot get any hotter than that until it has become water vapor.
