Water boils at 100 oC at sea level and when the water is pure. When the water is above sea level, it will boil at a lower temperature because there is less pressure. If the water is below sea level (like in a low valley) it will boil at a temperature higher than one hundred degrees celsius because the air pressure would be greater.

∙ 14y agoThis can happen for two reasons: (1) increase of pressure and (2) presence of dissolved impurities.
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature when all the molecules have enough energy to change to the vapour (gas) phase. This is why it forms large bubbles. The boiling point of water is 100 0C. However, this temperature also depends on the pressure of the vapour. The molecules that escape from the water surface can also return to the surface randomly by chance. As the pressure increases the number of water (vapour) molecules returning (per second) to the water phase increases. This raises the boiling point of the liquid.
When substance are dissolved in water (e.g. salt) the boiling point increases.
Thus 100 0C is the boiling point of pure water at sea level.

∙ 12y agoIf you ask a bunch of people how to make water boil, most if not all will probably tell you to increase the temperature. There are, however, TWO ways to get water (and other liquids) to boil: increase the water temperature OR decrease the air pressure. If your water is not boiling at 100 degrees, the air pressure might be higher than normal.
Are you sure that you're working with water and not another odorless, colorless liquid with a higher boiling point?

∙ 13y agoI dont know what you mean by 100c but if its 100- degrees celsius then it should boil.

∙ 13y agoWater boils at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. It will not get any hotter (except under pressure) because any additional heat is used to convert the liquid water into steam.

If 4.2kj of energy will raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1 degree Celsius 1g of fat contains 38.5kj of energywhat would the temperature of 1kg of water if 0.5 g of fat is burned?
The temperature of the water would be 4.58333 degrees Celsius higher.
Does water freeze at 32 degrees celsius?
You'd better hope not; 37 degrees Celsius is normal human body temperature.Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Fahrenheit.AnswerYes, water could freeze at 37 degrees C, but the pressure would have to be about 10,000 ATM as opposed to freezing at 0 degrees C and 1.00 ATM.
What state of matter is water in at negative 15 degrees Celsius?
water freezes at 0o celsius, so at -15oC it would be solid
In Arkansas What is 120 degrees Celsius?
120 degrees Celsius is approximately 248 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the freezing and melting point in Celsius?
Assuming you are talking about water, the freezing point is 0 degrees Celsius, melting point would be anything above that, and just in case you want to know, the boiling point for water is 100 degrees celsius
Would a rock sink more quickly in 10 degrees Celsius water or minus 5 degrees Celsius water?
Trick question: At minus 5 degrees Celsius, water is a solid. A rock would sit on top of it.
In what state would water be found at 130 degrees Celsius?
It would be a gas as its boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius.
What is the degrees of a popsicle in Celsius?
If it is exactly at the freezing temperature of water (32F) then it would be zero degrees Celsius.
What 230 Celsius is?
Given that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, I would say that 230 degrees Celsius is very hot.
What would be the final temperature when 250 grams of water at 100 degrees celsius is mixed with 525 grams of water at 30 degrees celsius?
The temperature would be that of water's boilng point od 100 degrees
Is 32 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than 5 degrees Celsius?
No, its colder. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 0 degrees Celsius, so 5 degrees Celsius would be hotter.
The temperature of some water is 80 degrees Celsius what will the teperature be if it goes up 17 degrees Celsius?
80 + 17 = 97 so it would be 97 degrees Celsius.
Where would you find the densest water?
4 degrees celsius
If 4.2kj of energy will raise the temperature of 1kg of water by 1 degree Celsius 1g of fat contains 38.5kj of energywhat would the temperature of 1kg of water if 0.5 g of fat is burned?
The temperature of the water would be 4.58333 degrees Celsius higher.
Is 21 degrees celsius higher than 19 degrees Fahrenheit?
When you convert both numbers into the same unit, in this case, Fahrenheit, 21 degrees Celsius would be 68.9 degrees F. So, 21 degrees C is higher than 19 degrees F.
What temperature scale does water freezes at 0 degrees and boils100 degrees?
The answer would be Celsius.
Is iron at 101 degrees celsius a solid liquid gas or plasma?
Iron would definitely still be a solid. Water begins to boil at only 100 degrees celsius so there for it would take a much higher temperature to even begin to melt iron.
