higher then the normal boiling point of water


In degrees Celsius the boiling point of water is degrees higher than the freezing point.?

100 degrees higher.


Does hydrazine evaporate?

Not easily, because its boiling point 114 celsius is higher than water.


The temp of boiling water in Celsius?

That depends a lot on the pressure - at higher altitudes (less pressure), the boiling point is lower. At standard pressure (1 atm.), the answer is 100 degree Celsius.


How can you tell a pure substance from a mature by its boiling point?

take water for example, if water boils at 100 degrees Celsius then it is pure. if the boiling temperature turns out to be higher or lower (most of the time it is higher) then a substance is impure. salt water boils at 102.8 degrees Celsius.


At sea level water boils at 100 degrees Celsius while methane boils at negative 161 degrees Celsius Which has a stronger attraction between particles?

Water because water has the highest boiling point, < anything.


What happens to its temperature when water is boiling?

The temperature of boiling water stays the same. At sea level, that is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. At higher elevations, say on a tall mountain, the boiling point of water is less and less, the higher you go.


How can water be made to boil at 105 degrees Celsius instead of 100 degrees Celsius?

Water could be made to boil at 105 degrees C instead of 100 degrees C by adding a solute to the water. You can also raise the boiling point of water by moving to a higher elevation or putting it under higher pressure.


Why does salt not evaporate with water?

because salt has a much higher boiling point than waters 100 degrees Celsius


When salt is added to boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius will the water boil faster or slower?

Slower, at higher temperature that is.


What is the boiling point of saltwater in degrees celsius?

For pure water, the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius (212 Fahrenheit), and the melting point is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). For saltwater, the boiling point is raised, and the melting point is lowered. By how much depends on how much salt there is. The boiling point of salt water will rise by about half a degree Celsius for every 30 grams of salt dissolved per kilogram (litre) of water. So if you are boiling a pan of water with salt in it, the boiling point will be higher depending on the amount of salt that is dissolved in the water.
