The boiling point of water depends on the air pressure, the standard 100 C boiling point is at sea level.
If you boil water at a high enough altitude, or in a vacuum chamber, it will boil at much lower temperatures.
Well the hot water contain latent heat that's why it boils at 6o degree centigrade as well at high altitude and in vacuum it boils at low temp.

∙ 7y agoThe boiling point of pure water is 100 degrees Celsius at sea level. A change in air pressure or contaminants in the water may alter the boiling point.

Temp of hot water prior to boiling?
Water boils at different temperatures depending on pressure. In an enclosed container where pressure can build up water can be made to boil at nearly 1000 degrees F. The reverse is also true, at lower pressures water will boil at a temperature less than 212 F. Where I live water boils at about 208 F. Electric power plants and naval vessels take advantage of this by boiling the water at a higher temperature. This very hot steam has more energy and makes the power plant more efficient.
How hot does an electric stove element get?
Maximum temperature of water is the boil temperature. But the boil temperature depends on atmospheric pressure and on salt content of the water. The more atmospheric pressure the more temperature. Boil temperature in mountain can be 60 centigrade. At normal (not high) land it usually 100 centigrade. But, as I said, temperature also depends on salt content (amount of salt) in the water. The more salt the less boil temperature. This way to take high grade boil when you cooking put the salt in to the water at the last moment of cooking.
Which body of water is located at 60 degrees north latitude and 80 degrees west longitude?
Hudson Bay
What is the latitude of 60 degrees north?
60 degrees north is a latitude.
Which is cooler 104 degrees Fahrenheit or 60 degrees Fahrenheit?
60 degrees Fahrenheit
If you are trying to boil water in Celsius and it's at 60 degrees now what is the answer?
Water boils at 100 Celsius.
Is it true that in order for water at 60 degrees Fahrenheit to boil it must absorb both sensible and latent heat?
True
How do you boil feathers off a chicken?
Boil enough water to encase chicken, make sure the water is hot enough that you couldn't stick your hand in it. Put the chicken in the water and count to 60. After this pull out the chicken and pluck the feathers, they should come right off
What kind of thermometer would you use at mars?
Celsius uses 0 as the temperature when water freezes. This would be less than useless on Mars, because water would almost always be frozen on Mars. The boiling point of water would be more effective. Why?Because water boils at different temperatures depending on air pressure, and the air pressure on Mars is completely different to that of Earth's, you would need a thermometer where 100 degrees or maybe 0 degrees would be the boiling point of water there.The lower the atmospheric pressure is, the lower the temperature needs to be for water to boil. So, because on Mars the pressure is close to being a complete vacuum, water would boil at about 0 degrees C.Since it's about -60 degrees C on Mars, if 100 degrees Martian units was your boiling point, than (simple math 100- 60) +60 degrees Martian units might be a reasonable average temperature (using this method avoids always having negative numbers for your temperature).

The complement of 30 degrees angle has a measure of?
The complement of any angle is the angle which adds to it to make 90 degrees. In this instance, an angle of 60 degrees adds to 30 to make 90 degrees. Therefore, the complement of 30 degrees is 60 degrees.
What would the temperature be if you mixed a cup of hot water that is 50 degrees Celsius to a cup of cold water that is 10 degrees Celsius?
30 degrees, C. 10+50=60 60/2 = 30
What temperature is water stored in a refrigerator?
it is 60 degrees Fahrenheit
What does water expand from 60 degrees F to 110 degrees F?
the water gets hoter intill it reaches 100 degrees and then it gives of steam which is a gas.
Can a water snail live in cold water?
as long as it's not 60 degrees or colder
What is the body temperature of a fish swimming in 60 degrees of water?
The body temperature of a fish swimming around in water that is 60 degrees would be 60 degrees also. This is because fish, unlike mammals, are coldblooded; they do not waste energy keeping their body temperature constant. Their body temperature would match that of the water around them.
How many minutes are required to boil water at a rolling boil to kill most organisms that are known to cause intestinal diseases?
5 to 10 min
