Why doesn't the temperature of water continually increase as it heated?

Temperature doesn't give the whole picture when you talk about boiling. A more useful property to talk about is enthalpy. Enthalpy is the energy held by the water. Prior to the boiling point, enthalpy and temperature both rise linearly. At the boiling point, temperature stops rising, but enthalpy continues to rise until it becomes steam. If you were to continue adding energy to the steam, it's temperature would rise again. The amount of energy that must be added to water to get it from water just at the boiling point to steam is the latent heat of vaporization and is equal to the enthalpy rise discussed in the previous paragraph. The latent heat of vaporization and the temperature where boiling will occur are dependant on the pressure.

Why doesnt sucrose have a boiling listed?
Sucrose will decompose (detoriate) when heated up at a temperature before it reaches melting point temperature.
What would increase a temperature of a substance?
When a substance is heated the temperature is increased. This occurs because energy enters the substance which will increase the kinetic energy of the molecules,thus causing a rise in temperature.
If you heated equal masses of basalt and lead which one would record a faster increase in temperature?

What is the motion created when heated material continually rises cools and sinks?
A convection current is created when a heated material continually rises, cools and sinks. Plate tectonics are driven by this type of motion,
What Solution that can dissolve more solute at a given temperature?
The increase of solvent temperature can directly correspond to solubility. For example increasing water temperature can increase its holding of solvated potassium nitrate (KNO3).
Does the temperature of alcohol increase when it is heated?
Of course.

What will happen to air if it is heated along a slope element?
Generally, if air is heated, its temperature will increase. And if the pressure remains constant, its density will decrease.
If 705g of water is heated 889J how much will its temperature increase?
It take 4.2 Joules to raise 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Each gram of water is heated by 1.26 Joules, creating an increase in temperature of .3 degrees Celsius.
How is heat generated within a compost heap?
Air trapped by the compose material is continually heated by the sun, which over time elevates the temperature of the compose pile

What happens to particles as the temperature increases?
As the temperature of a substance increases, its molecules move faster and therefore take up more space. This generally causes a substance to increase in volume when heated.
How does convection cause an increase in temperature?
it occurs because most liquids and gases become less dense when heated
How to increase a Thermal efficiency of rankine cycle?
-increase the temperature of the super heated steam -lowering the condensing pressure -increasing the boiler pressure (Reheating, regeneration...)
