No. Once the substance crosses into steam the steam temperature can rise much higher than boiling.

What determines the boiling point of a substance?

== == The amount of force that is holding the molecules of the substance together (intermolecular forces). A lot of things factor into this, including: * Hydrogen bonding * Ionic interactions * Hydrophobic interactions * Van der Waals forces * Permanent dipole-dipole interactions The stronger the intermolecular forces are (per molecule), the higher the boiling point will be, as it will require a greater amount of heat energy to overcome the intermolecular forces that hold molecules in a liquid state.


How does the density of water affect its boiling point?

The density of water does not directly affect its boiling point. Boiling point is primarily determined by the atmospheric pressure, which influences the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas.


Does higher boiling point evaporate faster?

Evaporation and boiling are the same process, liquid water is converted to water vapour. To convert from liquid to gas the water molecules have to absorb heat. The rapidly the heat is supplied, the faster the liquid water changes to a gas. In evaporation this heat comes from the air the water is exposed to, the surface the water sits on and the heat already in the water (hot water cools as it evaporates). This process is relatively slow compared to boiling water where a lot of heat is being put into the system by the stove or hot plate. It takes the same amount of heat to boil or evaporate the same amount of water. Boiling provides this heat much more quickly. Therefore boiling water evaporates much more quickly.


How much greater is the temperature of lightning than boiling water?

Lightning bolts can reach temperatures of about 30,000 degrees Celsius, which is much greater than the temperature of boiling water, which is 100 degrees Celsius. This means that lightning is approximately 300 times hotter than boiling water.


What is the boiling temperature of rubber?

It can not reach a boiling point because it decomposes before it boils.

What is the maximum temperature that boiling water can reach?

The maximum temperature that boiling water can reach is 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) at standard atmospheric pressure.


What is the maximum temperature possible for a substance under extreme conditions?

The maximum temperature possible for a substance under extreme conditions is determined by its melting point or boiling point, which can vary depending on the specific substance. In general, temperatures can reach thousands of degrees Celsius under extreme conditions.


When you change the amount of a substance the time it takes to reach the boiling point then what happens?

The lower the amount of substance, the faster it reaches the boiling point. The more the amount of substance, the longer it takes to reach the boiling point. Hope that this is what you wanted to know! :)


How can a substance boil to a higher temperature with the same rate of heat provided?

A substance can boil at a higher temperature when the external pressure is increased. This phenomenon is seen in pressure cookers, where the higher pressure raises the boiling point of water. The substance requires more energy to overcome this increased pressure and reach the higher boiling temperature.


What is the maximum heat in degrees that can be acheived?

The maximum heat that can be achieved in degrees depends on the substance being heated and the conditions under which it is being heated. Different substances have different melting and boiling points, which represent the maximum temperature that substance can reach before changing phase. For example, the maximum heat for water is 100 degrees Celsius before boiling.


How high in temperature does water have to reach in order to reach boiling point?

In order for water to reach it's boiling point, then the temperature has to reach 212 degrees. 212 degrees is for about sea level. it will vary depending on where you are.

A microwave can reach a maximum temperature of around 212 degrees Fahrenheit when heating food.


What is the maximum temperature that a gas stove flame can reach?

The maximum temperature that a gas stove flame can reach is around 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit.


What will happen if a solid temperature goes up?

if you were to constantly increase the temperature of a solid you would eventually reach the melting point for that particular substance, at which time the solid would melt to a liquid. if you were to keep heating the substance, at some point the liquid would reach its boiling point and would evaporate to a gas.
