What is the correct temperature of boiling water?

Answer 1

Most people will answer 100oC (212oF) and for the answer will be pretty much correct for most needs. However boiling point temperature depends on atmospheric pressure. The 100/212 answer is only correct for 760 mm pressure. On the tops of mountains or even in Denver and Calgary the actual boiling temperature is slightly lower. Climbers on Everest report that boiling eggs takes much longer decease of the lower boiling point.

Answer 2

You should not use hot water to boil water because if your home has any lead in the Plumbing, the lead can enter the hot water from the pipes more so than through cold water. Additionally, you should allow the cold water to flow for a minute or two because the longer the water has stayed in the pipes the greater chance that it is contaminated by lead. Allowing the water to flow will reduce the chances that there will be lead in the water.

Answer 3

That depends on the volume of salt and the volume of water.

The more salt dissolved into the water the higher the temperature needed to bring it to a boil

Answer 4

100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 5

when the heat is given to the water, that time the internal energy of water is increases, and water absorbs heat which transfer in form of boiling of water.

Answer 6

Water boils at 100 0 oC and 1 at.

Answer 7

212

Answer 8

99
