Water vapour doesn't boil, but liquid water's boiling point is 100 degrees C, or 212 degrees F.
boiling point is that point at which the vapour pressure of a liquid become equal to the atmospheric pressure at a particular temperature.
for example
boiling point of water is 100 degree Celsius
that is
at this temperature vapour pressure of water is equal to the atmospheric pressure
so there is no boiling point of water vapour since it is not a liquid and boiling point is only determined for liquids not gases or vapours .
also vapour has 540 kilo calories of heat known as latent heat of vapourisation at 100 degree celsius.

How does the density of water affect its boiling point?
The boiling point (of any compound) is ONLY affected by (vapor) pressure. Density of a gas (vapor) is another property that -in another way- may be affected by pressure.
What is water changing from gases to liquid?
Water changes from a liquid to gas when boiled. (boiling point = 110 Celsius)
Is when ice changes into water vapor it must melt first?
Yes. In the case of ice, it should melt first, convert to liquid water and then change to water vapor. There is big difference in the temperature for the melting point of ice and boiling point of water.
How does the boiling point of a liquid vary with pressure?
Something boils when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric (barometric) pressure above it. When the two are equal, that defines the boiling point.Therefore, you can either boil something by heating the liquid, and thus raising its vapor pressure (vapor pressure goes up with temperature), or you can boil something by reducing the atmospheric pressure above it until it matches the vapor pressure.See the Related Questions links to the left for more information about how the boiling point of water changes with elevation and atmospheric pressure.
What is the boiling point of water at sea level xy?
Answer:The boiling point of water at sea level is 100oC (212oF). Water boils when the pressure of the vapor is equal to the surrounding pressure. Since atmospheric pressure is reduced at higher altitudes it takes less energy (and therefore less heat) to boil water. So to put it simply the higher your altitude the lower the boiling point.
Are there more water vapor molecules above a beaker of water at room temperature or a beaker of water at its boiling point?
boiling point
Are there more water vapor molecules above a beaker of water at a room temperature or a beaker of water at its boiling point?

What is water vapor made up of?
Water heated to above the boiling point (steam), or below the vapor pressure for water in the gas sample with water vapor in it.
What is the boiling point water?
Boiling is the formation of vapor bubbles inside a liquid. They are not air, but rather some of the liquid that has evaporated. The molecules of the liquid have to have enough energy to break out of the liquid phase and become the vapor. That means the vapor has to push the liquid aside to make the bubble. This happens when the vapor can push back against the atmosphere pushing on the liquid. The boiling point is the temperature where the vapor has enough push to overcome the air pressure. In other words, the boiling point is the temperature where the vapor pressure and the atmospheric pressure are the same. The lower the atmospheric pressure, the lower the boiling point.
Is boiling soup different then boiling just water?
Other than the obvious differences, the process of dissolving something with a lower vapor pressure (higher boiling point) into water will cause the resulting solution to have an overall lower vapor pressure and therefore a higher boiling point.
The normal boiling point of chloroform which has a higher vapor pressure than water at 100 degrees celsius is?
higher then the normal boiling point of water
How do you turn water into a gas?
It turns into a vapor, and you do it by heating it to or past the boiling point.
How do you turn gas into water?
It turns into a vapor, and you do it by heating it to or past the boiling point.
What is the boiling point of water in space?
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature where the vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, as you heat the water up the vapor pressure keeps increasing until it matches the atmospheric pressure, then it is boiling. Space isn't quite a perfect vacuum, so the boiling point wouldn't be 0, but it would be very very low.
The normal boiling point of chloroform which has a higher vapor pressure than water at 100 and degC is?
The boiling point of chloroform is 61,15 oC.
In order to get liquid water to become water to become water vapor what must be energy?
Energy must be added to liquid water so that it reaches the boiling point, at which point the water will vaporize into water vapor.
What is the temperature at which water vapor changes into a liquid is called?
It's called the boiling point.
