It is a natural property of a liquid to boil at a particular temperature--or actually in a temperature range, because low atmospheric pressure can make the boiling point a little lower, or high pressure can make it a little higher.
That being said, the Celsius (a.k.a. Centigrade) scale was set up with 100 degrees being the boiling point of water with the atmospheric pressure at sea level, and also with zero degrees at the freezing point. Calling those temperatures 100 and 0 was arbitrary.

What is the boiling point of a kettle?
That would be the boiling point of water, or somewhere below if the kettle is faulty. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.That would be 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
What degrees celsius does water boil at?
It boils at 100*C.
The centigrade scale for measuring temperature is based on how many degrees?
The Celsius scale is 0 degrees Celsius as the freezing point of water and 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling of water. Don't use the old word "centigrade".
When you boil water how does the air get under the water?
The bubbles aren't really "air", but steam. When water reaches 100 degrees centigrade it turns into steam, and it's that steam that create the bubbles you see appearing and rising from the bottom of a pan.
What does water boil at 37 degrees Celsius or 100 degrees Celsius?
Water boils at 100 C, which is equal to 212 F.
How hot does it have to be for water to change state?
0 degrees centigrade for water to freeze 100 degrees centigrade for water to boil
What temerature does water boil?

What phase is water in at 1 ATM pressure and 150?
Water will be in a the gaseous form of steam at 150 degrees centigrade. Water begins to boil at 100 degrees centigrade at sea level.
Does water boil at 100 or 120 degrees?
The answer depends primarily on the scale that you are using. On the Celsius (or Centigrade) scale, under normal atmospheric pressure, pure water boils at 100 deg.
What boils water?
Liquid boils when it reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit.Additional answerHey, come on! Not all liquids boil at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Water boils at 100 degrees centigrade, for example. Each liquid has a different boiling point.
How hot is water when boiled?
100 degrees centigrade
How many degrees f does water boil at?
the boiling point of water in F is 212 degrees and for C is 100 degrees
What happens to water at 100 degrees centigrade?
It boils...100 deg Centigrade equals 212 deg. Fahrenheit
The temperature of boiling water is?
100 degrees Centigrade or 212 degrees Fahrenheit
What is centigrade?
It means the temperature in degrees Celsius. From freezing to boiling water: 100 degrees. Centigrade is another term for Celsius.
How do you use the word centigrade in a sentence?
The boiling point of water is either 212 degrees fahrenheit or 100 degrees centigrade.
