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.

∙ 13y agoHeat is being added to ice as it melts but that heat is not turning the water from a solid into a liquid, rather than increasing the tempature. and this happens when it boils, and that is why a boiling pot of water will not reach a higher temperature than 100 °C.

∙ 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.

∙ 8y agoWhenever a phase change is happening in a material the temperature cannot change until the phase change is complete. All the heat goes to the phase change, with none left to change the temperature.

What is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas?
This is called the boiling point. The exact temperature depends on what the liquid is. Each liquid has its own boiling point. For example, for water the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius. The boiling point of ammonia is -33.34 degrees Celsius. The boiling point of bromine is 58.8 degrees Celsius. If you're looking for the temperature at which a specific liquid changes to a gas, ask a new question specifically about that 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.
Why the boiling point of water is lower on mountains than at sea level?
The boiling point of a liquid is defined as when the vapour pressure of that liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. On mountains, the air pressure is lower than at sea level, so it follows that the boiling point of water is lower there.
Defined as the point as which liquids vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure?
The normal boiling point(also called the atmospheric boiling point or the atmospheric pressure boiling point)is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the atmospheric pressure at sea level, 1 atmosphere.The normal boiling point of water is about 100 degrees Celsius at a pressure of 1 ATM (i.e., 101.325 kPa).General Useful Information:The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure, but the environmental pressure may or may not be equal to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, 1 ATM.If the surrounding environmental pressure is less than atmospheric pressure, then the boiling point is less than the normal boiling point.If the surrounding environmental pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure, then the boiling point is greater than the normal boiling point.At the boiling point, adding enough heat to the liquid will cause the liquid to vaporize (that is boil or form a gas).
Why boiling point of potassium higher than its melting point?
It requires much more energy to convert the liquid potassium into a vapor than it does to convert the solid to a liquid.
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 altitude increases, pressure decreases, so boiling point decreases, so the liquid would boil at a lower temperature and would not be able to get as hot and remain a liquid. As pressure is increased, boiling point increases, meaning the liquid could get hotter than normal and remain a liquid.PV=nRT - pressure x volume = the number of moles x constant x temperature
What is the temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas?
This is called the boiling point. The exact temperature depends on what the liquid is. Each liquid has its own boiling point. For example, for water the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius. The boiling point of ammonia is -33.34 degrees Celsius. The boiling point of bromine is 58.8 degrees Celsius. If you're looking for the temperature at which a specific liquid changes to a gas, ask a new question specifically about that liquid.
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?
Chocolate doesn't have a boiling point. Boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid. Chocolate is not a liquid.
Why the boiling point of water is lower on mountains than at sea level?
The boiling point of a liquid is defined as when the vapour pressure of that liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. On mountains, the air pressure is lower than at sea level, so it follows that the boiling point of water is lower there.
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
