Water at ambient atmospheric pressure boils at 100C. One way of raising the boiling point is to raise the surrounding pressure. If you raise the pressure surrounding the water to about 93 psi above atmospheric, it will boil at about 170C. Do not try this at home! Boiling water at this pressure is extremely dangerous and can severely burn you.

At how many degrees does water boil?
The boiling point of water is dependent on the atmospheric pressure. If you increase the pressure - for example, in a pressure cooker - the boiling point can be raised considerably. At high altitudes, the boiling point is significantly lower. At sea level, pure water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit which is the same as 100 degrees Celsius.
What is the significance 0 degrees OF C?
It is the freezing point of water at 0 degrees Celsius
If water is 14 degrees C what is it in Fahrenheit?
14ºC = 57.2ºF
What is the temperature at which water boils?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees C = 212 degrees F.
Water boils at 100C at what Fahrenheit temperature does water boil?
100 degrees Celsius is equal to about 212 degrees Fahrenheit so water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Water also freezes at 0 degrees celsius which is about 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can water boil at 100 degrees C?
Yes, the boiling point of water is normally at 100 degrees Celsius
What degrees celsius does water boil at?
It boils at 100*C.
What temperature measurement does water boil at a 100 degrees?
C or Celsius.
What is the temperature for water to boil?
212 degrees F = 100 degrees C = 373.15 K
What temperature does water freeze and boil in celsius?
Water freezes at 0 degrees C and boils at 100 C.
How many degrees is 170 degrees C?
170 degrees Celsius is 338 degrees Fahrenheit.
How many degrees celsius mut it be for water to boil?
Water (H2O) will begin to boil at 100'C and will freeze at 0'C.Hope this Helps!
What degree does water boil at?
100 c = 212 f
What does water boil at 37 degrees Celsius or 100 degrees Celsius?
Water boils at 100 C, which is equal to 212 F.
What temperature on the celsius scale does water boil?
At standard pressure, it is 100 degrees C.
What temperature will water boil when the external pressure is 31 kPa?
70 degrees C
What would happen to a sample of water at 30 degrees c if it is heated until the temperature reaches 120 degrees c?
It would heat to 100 degrees C, and then begin to boil. The water vapor would be at 100C, and would rise away. If you kept the vapor combined, it would pressurize the container.
