The amount of energy to boil water depends on two things: the amount of water and the temperature of the water when you start.
The more water water, the more energy it takes. The colder the water, the more energy it takes.
Let say the water is at room temperature, or 20 °C. First, the water must be heated to 100 °C, which takes energy. The amount of energy is given by the specific heat of water, which is 4.186 Joule/gram °C. That means that requires 4.186 Joules of energy to heat 1 kilogram of water by 1 °C. So if you have 1 kilo grams of water at 20 °C, you have to add this much energy:
= (4.18Joule/gram °C) (100g) (100 °C - 20 °C)
= 334400 joules/°C
Of course, if you had more or less water, or it was colder or warmer, you would adjust this equation accordingly..

ā 9y agoThe energy required to boil water will depend upon the starting temperature of the water, your location above or below sea level, and the mass of water being boiled. This is because the boiling point of a substance is when its vapor pressure equals the pressure surrounding the liquid.

ā 14y agoThe answer depends on the volume of water and the current temperature.
It takes 1 calorie (~4.190 J) to raise 1 gram (1ml) of water 1 degree C.
To raise 1 gram of water from 0 degrees C (freezing) to 100 degrees C (boiling) it would take 100 calories (~419.0 joules).

ā 11y agoDepends how much water and the temperature of the water.
To heat 1 mL of water by 1 degree C 1 cal of energy (4.184 Joules) is required. Assuming that the water is at 25 degrees C, to boil one litre (liter) of water you would require 75,000 cal or 313.8 kJ. Or 16.74 g of mars bar ;).
In terms of solar energy a 180 watt solar panel would take just under half an hour to gather enough energy to boil a litre of water from 25 degrees C (provided it's receiving maximum sunlight of course.

ā 10y agoThe specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 kJ.kg-1.K-1.
1 liter of water has a mass of 1kg. The boiling point of water is 100 0C. Delta T is thus 100-15 = 85 0C. 1 Kelvin is equivalent to 1 0C.
So 4.184 x 1 x 85 = 355.64 Kilojoules of energy.

It takes approximately 2260 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water from 99 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius. This is known as the latent heat of vaporization.

it takes 1 calorie of energy to heat each milliliter of water you have
by 1 degree Celsius.
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure. To boil water at 95 degrees Celsius, you can increase the pressure in a sealed container, which raises the boiling point. Similarly, to boil water at 105 degrees Celsius, you would need to decrease the pressure in a sealed container to lower the boiling point.
The water boiling point in Celsius is 100 °C.
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. However, water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitude. Salt water boils at a higher temperature than pure water.
The heat required to boil water can be calculated by multiplying the mass of water (21.1 g) by the specific heat capacity of water (4.18 J/gĀ°C) and the temperature change (100Ā°C - initial temperature). This calculation results in 8.82 kJ or 8820 J of energy needed to boil 21.1 g of water at 100Ā°C.
Mercury will boil last, as it has a higher boiling point than water and alcohol. Mercury boils at around 674 degrees Fahrenheit, while water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit and alcohol at about 173 degrees Fahrenheit.
The amount of heat needed to boil water varies with the air pressure. Water in a vacuum will boil at room temperature.

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, so 87 degrees is 13 degrees away from boiling.
No, water will boil at 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure, regardless of the location.
Yes, ice melts at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level). These are the specific temperatures at which the phase transitions occur for water.
If by "boil" you mean have it all evaporate, that takes MUCH more energy. For example, to increase the temperature of one gram of water from 20 to 100 degrees Celsius, you need 4.2 joules/gram/degree times 80 degrees = about 336 joules; then, to evaporate all the water, you need an additional 2257 joules.
100 degrees Celsius 212 degrees Fahrenheit
The energy required to boil 100 ml of water at room temperature (20Ā°C) to boiling point (100Ā°C) is about 4200 joules. This is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of water by 1Ā°C per gram.
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit
Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Water can boil below 100 degrees Celsius depending on the area of the world. A lab was conducted in science class that our water boiled at 94.6 degrees Celsius. The average boiling point for water is 100 degrees Celsius but that does not mean it will always be that degree to boil.
At standard conditions, water will boil at 100 degrees Celsius.
