Why did your thermometer never hit 100 degrees Celsius when boiled?

You are probably above sea level so that the atmospheric pressure is lower than sea level pressure. Water boils at lower temperatures as the pressure is lowered. The other possibility is that the thermometer is not calibrated correctly, but I'd go with the atmospheric pressure is below sea level pressure.

How many hours will it take for a paper to undergo spontaneous combustion under 34.5 degrees celsius?
34.5 degrees Celsius = 94.1 degrees Fahrenheit, so, never! Paper ignites at about 451 degrees Fahrenheit and does not spontaneously go through combustion.
Is hydrogen still a gas at 0 degrees celsius?
Well, we've all been out in temperatures of 0 deg celsius (a cold winter's day for instance), and I've never bumped into a lump of hydrogen yet, so - yes.
How to convert gaseous carbon dioxide to solid carbon dioxide?
The same as most substances, CO2 must be cooled and put under increased pressure to become a solid. At one atmosphere, CO2 must be cooled to a temperature of -78.5 degrees Celsius to solidify. At height pressures CO2 solidifies at higher temperatures, however solid CO2 never exists at a temperature above -56.4 degrees Celsius.
What would be temperature of a pot of water if you continued heating it for 10 minutes after it had already started boiling?
If the water is actively boiling, it is never more than 100 degrees Celsius (212°F).When water is not boiling (because of pressure or lack of nucleation points), it can become hotter than 100°C, a process known as superheating.
What temperature do particles stop moving?
That happens at the "absolute zero" of temperature, also called zero kelvin. In fact, according to quantum theory there is still a very small amount of motion of particles even at zero kelvin. Also, it's theoretically impossible to reach absolute zero, but we have got very close to it.
What type of climate never goes above ten degrees Celsius?
The tundra.
What are the only two state in the USA that have never reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit 37.8 degrees Celsius?
Alaska and Hawaii
At what temperature Celsius and Kelvin are the same?
They are never the same, they always differ by 273.15 degrees.

34.5 degrees Celsius = 94.1 degrees Fahrenheit, so, never! Paper ignites at about 451 degrees Fahrenheit and does not spontaneously go through combustion.
How many degrees f are in 84 c?
183 F ----------------------- A Fahrenheit degree covers 5/9 the range of temperature that a single Celsius degree covers. So 84 Celsius degrees cover a range that takes 151.2 Fahrenheit degrees to cover. But the scales that use these two types of "degrees" start (have their 'zero' points) at different places (temperatures), so there's no simple, one-step relationship between their respective values at the same physical temperature. -- Place one thermometer of each kind in a cold chamber at -40°, and they both display the same number. -- Drop them both into a jar of ice-water. The Celsius thermometer reads 0° and the F. one reads +32°. -- Using long tongs, ease them both into a pot of boiling water. The Fahrenheit thermometer reads +212°, while the Celsius one reads +100° . -- If you could bring them into a lab where absolute zero has been achieved (never been done) and stick both of your thermometers into the Nobel-prize- winning cold chamber, the Celsius one would read -273.2° and the Fahrenheit one would read -459.7° . -- Going back to what I think you meant by your question, at the temperature where a Celsius thermometer reads 84°, a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 183.2° .
How hot is it on Europa?
Temperature: Europa's surface temperature at the equator never rises above minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 160 degrees Celsius). At the poles of the moon, the temperature never rises above minus 370 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 220 degrees Celsius).
At what temperature will Celsius and kelvin thermometers display the same reading?
0 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 273 degrees Kelvin. an increase of 1 degree Celsius is equal to an increase of 1 degree Kelvin. Therefore they will never display the same reading.
What temperature does honey lose it's medicinal properties?
Over 40 Celsius degrees, for storage between 10 and 27 Celsius and never on the sun:)))
What is the temperature of the center of the eath?
the temperature at the inner core of the earth is at the high is about 7,000 degrees Celsius.(not more!)According to my calculations (and my science book) the center of the earth is about 5000 Celsius The temperature of the center of the earth is around 12,600 degrees Fahrenheit.The temperature at the centre of the earth is approximately 7,000 degrees celsius :)about 4500 degrees Celsius
Difference between clinical thermometer and other thermometer?
You would likely have different ranges and accuracies for different thermometers. I'm using Fahrenheit. Many newer thermometers would be in Celsius, including those used in hospitals/clinics, or in other parts of the world outside of the USA. A clinical thermometer might read from about 80°F to 110°F, and would be accurate to 1/10 or 2/10 degrees. They can be digital, mercury, or even plastic disposable. They normally have a method to lock in the maximum temperature (like the old ones that you had to shake down). Modern clinical thermometers will either have a disposable plastic cover for the non-disposable variety, or will be 100% disposable. Ocular ear thermometers are a new type of infra-red thermometers. A household thermometer might read from -20°F to 120°F, and might only be accurate to 1 or 2 degrees. If the thermometer is a glass thermometer, the scale is never written on the actual thermometer. A scientific thermometer might have a range up to the boiling point of water... is often in Celsius (-10°C to 110°C), and accurate to a degree Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit) or so. A cooking thermometer might have a range of 100°F to 500°F. There may be some glass (or disposable) cooking thermometers, but many are also metal for durability.
What temperature degree celsius and kelvin are same?
The 'kelvin' and the celsius 'degree' are identical temperature intervals ... they are the same size. The marks on the kelvin thermometer and the marks on the celsius thermometer are the same distance apart. Both scales have 100 divisions between the freezing and boiling temperatures of water, but the scales start at different places. (Kelvin starts at 'absolute zero', celsius starts at the freezing temperature of water.) The graphs of these two scales are parallel lines. The graphs never intersect, meaning that there is no temperature where kelvin and celsius are the same number.
How many kalvins are equal to -196 degrees Celsius?
It's Kelvin, and it's never plural. Since both the celcius and Kelvin scales are centigrade scales (100 degrees between freezing point and boiling point of water), and 0C = 273K -196 degrees Celsius = 77K
