The definition of 100 degrees Celsius is "the temperature at which water boils under a pressure of one standard atmosphere," so if it's boiling at that pressure it's ALREADY at 100 degrees C; no "minutes" are involved.
Also, if you're at less than one standard atmosphere (you're in Denver or something) the water is not going to reach 100 degrees C no matter HOW long you boil it.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on how much water there is. Q = mlv , where Q= heat energy, m= mass of water and lv= latent heat of vaporization. Take note that P = Q/t, where P = power of the heat source and t is the time taken. When m increases, Q increases, and if P remains constant, t increases. Thus, it takes a longer time for water to boil when there is more water.
Surrounding pressure also affect the rate of boiling. Boiling occurs when the vapour pressure of water equals the surrounding pressure. When surrounding pressure is low, as in the highlands, the vapour pressure would be low too when boiling, and hence, it boils faster at higher altitudes. Conversely, it boils slower at lower altitudes.
Hope my answer helps, and pardon me if I'm wrong in any way. :)

What terperatue does water boil?
100 degrees Celsius
Dose hot boil faster than cold water?
Water must reach 100° C before it will boil. Since hot water is closer to 100° C than cold water is, hot water will boil quicker than cold water goes once you have started to heat it.
The temperature required to boil water at?
100 degrees Celsius
At what temperature does hot water boil?
100 degrees Celsius
Does tap water boil at 100 degrees celsius or less?
Yes, most water boils at 100 celsius.
How long does it take for the water to start boiling At what temperature does the water boil?
How long it takes water to boil depends on how much heat is being used. Water boils at 100 degrees C
How long does it take to boil 100 ml of water in a Bunsen burner?
8.30 minutes
How long does it take to boil an egg at 200 degrees Celsius?
Water evaporates at 100 so it would not be possible to boil an egg at 200
What temperatere does water freeze and boil at?
Freeze : 0 Boil : 100
When does water freeze and boil Celsius?
Freeze=0 Boil=100
Does water boil at 220?
At standard pressure pure water boil at 100 0C or 212 0F.
Why does water boil at 100?
celssius/yes
What celsius temperature does water boil?
100
At what degree does the water boil?
100 degrees cel.
What does water boil in celsuise?
100 degrees Celsius
What terperatue does water boil?
100 degrees Celsius
On the celsiu scale at what temperature does water boil?
100°
