Any additional heat does two things after water temperature reaches the boiling point. Some of the heat makes the water boil more violently, releasing dissolved gasses in it that bubble up and escape as the water boils, and some heat is used to evaporate the water, turning it into steam. Under certain conditions water can be 'super heated' above the boiling point, but this is not something that should be tried except in a proper environment with a knowledgeble person supervising.

∙ 11y agoWhen a liquid reaches its boiling point, additional heat fuels the change of state from liquid to gas, rather than increasing the temperature of the liquid.
In high pressure situations where a phase transition to gas is prevented, additional heat will increase the temperature of the liquid.

Boiling liquid maintains a constant temperature?
The boiling point temperature remains constant because liquids evaporate at this point. If the temperature drops the liquid will no longer boil. At a higher temperature the vapor becomes hotter, not the liquid.
Defined as the point as which liquids vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure?
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere. At this point, the liquid changes into a gas as bubbles of vapor form throughout the liquid.
How is the boiling point of water in Celsius higher than the freezing point?
Water boils at a hotter temperature than it freezes in any scale.
What is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas?
The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas is called the boiling point. At this temperature, the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, causing the liquid to transform into a gas.
What is the boiling point of a liquid solution?
It all depends on the liquid, like waters boiling point is diffent then something like Mercury
Is gas hotter then liquids?
For a given substance, yes, it's gaseous form is hotter than its liquid form. However, you cannot say that a gas, of any substance, is generally hotter than a liquid of some other substance. Different substances have different boiling points. The boiling point for Nitrogen, for example, is well below the boiling point of water, and even below the freezing point of water. So you cannot say that Nitrogen gas is hotter than liquid water.
The what remains constant when a liquid reaches boiling point?
The temperature. A liquid will increase in temperature until it reaches the boiling point temperature. At this temperature the liquid will become a gas. Under normal circumstances, the liquid cannot get any hotter than the boiling point without becoming a gas. So the liquid remains the same temperature until it has all boiled away.
Why doesn't water get hotter than 212 Fahrenheit?
Because that's the boiling point.
What happens to the altitude and boiling point as the pressure is increased?
As pressure increases, altitude decreases and boiling point increases. This is because higher pressure compresses gases more, reducing the distance between gas molecules, which leads to easier vaporization and a higher boiling point.
What is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas?
The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas is called the boiling point. At this temperature, the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, causing the liquid to transform into a gas.
Which metal has boiling point less than boiling point of water?
Gallium has a boiling point of 93°ish F. But mercury is way lower than that. It's a liquid at room temperature.
How is the boiling point of water in Celsius higher than the freezing point?
Water boils at a hotter temperature than it freezes in any scale.
Does water get hotter after boiling?
No! Technically, it can turn to steam, but the water itself can not become hotter than its boiling point. The above is true. But ... Remember that the boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the saturated vapour pressure is equal to the applied pressure. Increase the pressure and the boiling point will rise. If the questioner meant the boiling point at normal atomospheric presure then you could make it boil at a higher temperature by heating it in a pressure vessel with a release valve, such as in an old-fashioned presure cooker.
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 boiling point for chocolate?
The boiling point of chocolate can vary depending on its composition, but it is typically around 100°C to 120°C (212°F to 248°F). It is important to use gentle heat when melting chocolate to avoid burning or overheating it.
Why the boiling point of water is lower on mountains than at sea level?
The boiling point of water is lower on mountains because atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation. At lower pressures, water molecules can escape from the liquid phase more easily, requiring less heat to reach a boil.
Is it possible for a liquid to boil at a temperature other than its normal boiling point?
yes it is. The boiling point of a liquid is affected by the atmospheric pressure, so it is higher at sea level than it is at high altitude. Also depends on the purity of liquid
