Different liquids boil at different temperatures. Water, for example, boils at 100 degrees Celsius, or 373 degrees Kelvin. Substances that are gases at room temperature have very low boiling points.

∙ 14y agoThe temperature of a liquid during boiling is unique for every different liquid as it depends entirely on how much energy is required to break up the intermolecular forces between the molecules of liquid. Substances with weak bonds exist as gases at most temperatures; substances with stronger bonds will be liquids at a wider range of temperatures.
At the interface between a liquid and the air there's a dynamic equilibrium between evaporating liquid and condensing vapor. The pressure of this evaporating liquid produces is called vapor pressure. As temperature rises, the equilibrium shifts in favor of evaporating liquid and the vapor pressure rises.
As a previous answerer wrote: "boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure" because that is the temperature at which the system has sufficient thermal energy to break the bonds between the molecules of liquid and decisively shift the equilibrium towards evaporation. For water this temperature is 100 degrees C.

If the boiling point of a certain amount of a liquid is 150 degrees then what is the boiling point of twice that amount of the liquid?
The temperature at which the substance boils is the temperature at which it boils. It's not the temperature at which any certain amount of it boils.
What is the temperature at which a liquid boils called called?
It is the Boiling point.
Does pure liquid boils at fixed temperature at a given pressure?
Yes
What boils at negative 196 degrees celsius?
it is the temperature at which paper burns
By heating a liquid and measuring the temperature at which it boils what is being measured?
It is the boiling point of that liquid under the given conditions of pressure.
If the boiling point of a certain amount of a liquid is 150 degrees then what is the boiling point of twice that amount of the liquid?
The temperature at which the substance boils is the temperature at which it boils. It's not the temperature at which any certain amount of it boils.
Why liquid boils at constant temperature at a given temperature?
Yes.
How does the temperature of a liquid change when it boils?
vapour
Define melting point and boiling point and write their values?
Melting point is defined as the temperature at which a solid melts to become a liquid, the value of which depends upon the material. Boiling point is defined as the temperature at which a liquid reaches such a temperature that bubbles begin to form inside the liquid due to vapor pressure. The value at which a liquid boils depends on what the liquid you are attempting to boil, is. Oil boils at a higher temperature than water. Antifreeze boils at another temperature altogether. Steel, when liquid, boils at a very high temperature, while alcohol boils at a comparably low temperature.
What is the name for the temperature at a liquid boils?
boiling point
What is the boiling point temperature in Celsius?
Each liquid boils at a different temperature. Pure water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
What is the temperature at which a liquid boils called called?
It is the Boiling point.
If you heat a liquid and a measure the temperature at which it boils you are measuring a?
You're measuring the boiling point of the liquid.
What is the temperature a liquid boils at called?
This is the boiling point.
Does pure liquid boils at fixed temperature at a given pressure?
Yes
What is it called the temperature at which a liquid boils?
It is the Boiling point.
Does the temperature of a boiling liquid increase as it boils?
No. Take water for example. Water boils at 100 degrees C. When water boils it becomes steam. This steam as soon as it is released is 100 degrees C also. The boiling point for a liquid is the point when it becomes a gas.
