boiling point is a property which depends upon the atmospheric pressure. when vapour pressure of water is equal to external is called its boiling point.. if pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure ,boiling point is 100 degree celcius.

How is water vapor different from steam?
So specifically steam will form when you boil water. While water vapor forms when the sun evaporates water. Steam you would most likely see, while water vapor is more of an invisible gas.
When you boil water on stove until it turns to steam you are witnessing a?
When you boil water on the stove until it turns to steam you are witnessing a change in phase of matter/phase change of the water.
What will happen to the water if you put a cup of water in a kettle and place it in the flame?
The water will warm until it reaches the same temperature as the flame. If the flame is hot enough, the water will eventually boil when it reaches 100ºC, and will then be converted to steam (water vapor).
Examples of liquids turning into a gas?
Evaporation is the process of turning liquid into a gas. Examples of these are the evaporation of water when it is boiled and the evaporation of alcohol at room temperature.
Why does water stay at the same temp after it starts to boil?
It takes a certain energy to convert water to steam. Any additional energy you supply to the water, as heat, will be taken away by water converting to steam. The maximum temperature of a liquid is its boiling point so water shows constant maximum temperature 100o Celsius (if it is pure).
When you boil water in a kettle does it turn into steam?
yes it does as the air mixed in with the water, evaporates into steam.
What happens if water is heated?
When it reaches 212°F it begins to boil. When boiling occurs the water evaporates into steam. We use hot water for many things, bathing, cooking, cleaning.

What happens when you boil alcohol?
Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water. Naturally the alcohol evaporates leaving the flavanoids and the water. If you boil 100 % alcohol, then it would act like plain water. It will boil until it all evaporates.
What change take place when water start to boil?
when a water starts to boil it evaporates in to gas from gas to liquid
How are evaporation and boiling similar and how are they different?
Evaporation is the act of producing water vapor. This can occur at any temperature or pressure. Boiling is the act of raising the temperature of water to the boiling point and maintaining it there. The boiling point of water is dependent upon the atmospheric pressure. Steam Generation is conducted within a closed pressure vessel, and is the act of vaporizing water into steam at a given pressure and temperature. Examples: Ice can shrink in size due to the evaporation of individual molecules of water into the air water can evaporate from a puddle into the atmosphere a pot on a stove can boil water for cooking, this also evaporates some water a steam generator evaporates water into steam for use in a heating system, the water is then condensed and returned to the generator
What is the maximum temperature of steam?
with the pressure we can increse it to 270 deg centigrade
How do you get water from salt water?
you boil the water,so the water evaporates and the salt is left behind
Boil is to as freeze is to ice?
water
What are the white clouds when you boil water?
steam...
Is it possible to boil water by passing steam at atmospheric pressure?
If the steam is superheated, then yes - it can be used to boil water. If the steam is at the saturation point however, the most you could achieve would be to heat the liquid water to the boiling point while condensing some of the steam.
What happens to liquid water when it is heated?
When water is heated it begins to vaporize into the air as steam. If the water is allowed to boil for a while, it will totally evaporate into the air.
