If water is under pressure at all, which could be based on what the atmospheric pressure is, it will not boil at its prescribed temperature.

Explain how liquids reach a point where they boil?

They 'reach' it by heating up the liquid till boiling point is reached.


What is inside the bubbles of boil water Where they come from?

Dissolved air bubbles out of the water, as the boiling point of water is reached, water vapour starts to form inside the liquid in the form of bubbles


What is a false boil?

A false boil is basically a cooking "old wives tale." It was based on the assumption that placing a lid on a pot of water to boil it caused pressure to build up which caused air bubbles to be forced into the water, giving an appearance of a boil, when boiling temperature had not actually been reached. In actuality, the lid helps the water to reach the boiling point faster.


What is the boil boiling point of water?

100 degree C.


Why does it take sugar water longer to boil than plain water?

When a solute is added to a solvent, such as water, it increases the boiling point. Instead of boiling at 100 degrees Celsius (for water), it will boil at a higher temperature. This phenomenon is called boiling point elevation.


Can you boil the water at 95 C and 105 C if the ordinary water boils at its boiling point?

Yes: the boiling point depends on the pressure.


Will it take longer to boil salt water than fresh water?

Yes. The boiling point of salt water is higher than the boiling point of pure water.


What does an increase in pressure on the surface of water do to the boiling point?

It will raise the boiling point. This why, for example, car radiators have a pressure cap. This causes a rise in the boiling point of the water and it is less likely to boil.


Is the boiling point of l liter of water and 2 liters of water the same or different?

It takes longer to boil, but it's the same boiling point.


How do you Make the water continues to boil in a vacuum chamber Because the water is boiling and then stops boiling How do I manage the balance point?

You can manage the boiling point by managing your heating element.


Does 190 degrees hot enough to kill bacteria in water during a water boiling alert?

A "water boiling alert" means to boil water. At 1 ATM of pressure, water does not boil until 212°F (100°C). At a higher altitude, the boiling point is lower, but not by much. No, when there is a "water boiling alert," boil the water.


Why does water with salt boil faster then pure water?

The salt alters the boiling point of the water so that it is lower, hence the faster boiling time. Actually, the addition of salt to water elevates its boiling point. This can be proven by a simple experiment. Boil water in a pot on the stove. Just as the water is starting to boil add copious amounts of salt. You should find that the water ceases to boil. If the water were to commence to boil more vigorously then this would confirm that the boiling point is depressed. The reason for the elevated boiling point is that the addition of salt (a polar compound) creates and additional bond between itself and the (polar) water molecules. This bond represents additional energy that must now be over-come to make the water boil.
