The boiling point is defined as the temperature that the liquid spontaneously turns into a vapour throughout the liquid. This is dependent on atmospheric pressure as the higher the pressure the more energy is required to produce the gas /vapour bubbles in the liquid. We see this effect when water boils and the surface is disturbed by the bubbles rising to the surface - it is boiling.
Water boils at a little over 60 oC (140 oF) at the top of Mount Everest but at 100 oC (212 oF) at sea level ie 1 ATM pressure. When water is boiled at a higher location than sea level it will boil at less than 100 oC depending on atmospheric conditions.

∙ 12y agoThe boiling point of an element or a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid at this condition bubbles can be "inflated" and which we sees as it boils.

What is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas?
the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas is called the boiling point.
When will the liquid boil?
When the temperature reaches the correct temperature (boiling point).
What happens to the temperature of a liquid as it changes from a liquid to a vapor?
The liquid vaporizes and the temperature increases as the volume also increases.
What is the boiling point degrees in Fahrenheit?
At sea level the boiling temperature of water is 212o Fahrenheit. At different air pressures the boiling temperature changes. Higher air pressures require higher temperatures to boil. For example, if you go to a mountain top you could lower air pressure until water could boil at say 99o Fahrenheit. If you change substances, from water to something else, that substance would have its own individual boiling temperature, the point at which it changes from liquid to gas.
Why would most likely be the temperature of boiling water?
Which is most likely be the temperature of boiling water? 100oC is the boiling point of pure water - when water is boiling, it stays at a constant temperature until all of it is evaporated.
What is the temperature a liquid boils at called?
This is the boiling point.
What is it called the temperature at which a liquid boils?
It is the Boiling point.
What is the freezing point and boiling point of a metal?
Boiling point: the temperature when a material become a gas phase.
What is the point at which a liquids vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure?
This temperature is called the boiling point, and indicates the temperature at which a liquid will assume a gaseous state, given the addition of the heat of vaporization.That is the boiling point.
What is the boiling point for metal?
Boiling point: the temperature when vapours of the material are formed.
How does a substance's boiling point determine its state at room temperature?
If the substance's boiling point is lower than room temperature, it is probably a gas. If the boiling point is higher, it will be a liquid.
What is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas?
the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas is called the boiling point.
What do terms ''boiling point'' and '' freezing point '' mean?
Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas. Freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid.
What state of matter is calcium at boiling point temperature?
"Boiling point temperature" is an ambiguous phrase. Please provide specific temperature and pressure values.
What is the term that is defined as a substance's temperature at it's known boiling point?
The boiling point.
What does boiling point?
Boiling point means the temperature a substances starts to boil or evaporate
What is the boiling melting and freezing point?
A boiling point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance begins to boil. A melting point is a point on the temperature scale at which a substance freezes. Melting and boiling points are unique to different types of elements.
