I would say that it depends. If you are at a higher altitude, the water might be able to reach a higher temperature. It actually depends on atmospheric pressure. At sea level, water boils at 100 °C (212 °F) and freezes at 0 °C (32 °F). If you boil water at a higher pressure (below sea level, for example), the boiling point would be higher than 100 °C . At a lower pressure (like in the mountains), the boiling point is a lower temperature. Example: when you are climbing Mount Everest, you will need a pressure cooker, due to low atmospheric pressure, if there is no pressure, your meal would still not be cooked.

I do hope that this is helpful!Please click the botton "helpful". Thanks!

Oh, and by the way, use a pH scale if your aim is to see if the water is pure!

That depends on the pressure. If the pressure is 101.325 kPa, then it would not be pure. But it could still be pure and boil at 101ºC if the pressure where very slightly higher than 101.325 kPa, i.e. at 103.4 kPa.

No. At normal pressure (1 atm), the boiling point of water is 99.97 degrees Celsius. This is usually rounded to 100 degrees Celsius. As you go up in elevation, the atmospheric pressure decreases, and the boiling point of water decreases. So pure water can never have a boiling point higher than 100 (99.97) degrees Celsius. However, your thermometer may also be defective.

It depends on the pressure. Pure water will boil at a temperature higher than the usual 100ºC if the pressure exceeds 101.325 kPa (standard pressure). So, if the pressure were, say, 110.3 kPa, then pure water will boil at 102ºC.

No. Pure water boils at 100 degrees Celsius or less.

Not pure because pure waters boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius ...
