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

Is it possible for distilled water in liquid form reach a temperature of 105 degrees Celsius. why or why not?

Sure. Boiling point is related to pressure. Increase the pressure and boiling will occur at a higher temperature.


How does the density of water affect its boiling point?

The boiling point (of any compound) is ONLY affected by (vapor) pressure. Density of a gas (vapor) is another property that -in another way- may be affected by pressure.


Why doesnt the all the water instantly vaporize when you reach the boiling point?

The boiling point is the temperature where a substance BEGINS to vaporize. So all of the water doesn't necessarily need to boil off instantly. To vaporize, molecules of water need to have energy. Only at the boiling point do they have enough energy to boil away, and when they do, they carry this energy with them. This means that a constant supply of heat for a certain period of time is needed for all water in a sample to boil off.


What is the boiling temperature of rubber?

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


At what temperature does water reach its boiling point?

the boiling point for water is 100 degrees Celsius, 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and 373 Kelvin, but you must know that these temperatures are all at sea-level so if you go higher or lower than it will change. 100 degrees Celsius 212 degrees Fahrenheit 373 Kelvin the boiling temperature of what substance??? If you meant the boiling point of water, that would be 212 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale or 100 degrees on the Celsius scale -- both at sea level. If you go to the top of Mt Everest, the air pressure is low that water boils at such low temperature, that it is almost impossible to cook food. I have seen liquid nitrogen boil at regular room temperature. All liquids have different boiling points. And all boiling points get lower, the higher up you go.

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 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.


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.


How can water in an engine stay a liquid when the temperature is above its normal boiling point?

The cooling system is pressurized and requires a higher temperature to reach boiling.

Weathers boiling point?.... if you mean rain, its water so .. 100 degrees?..

Liquid be seen running from the bottom of the distillation column back into the distilling?

The reason it happens because the lower boiling point substance vaporizes and crosses over while the other substance is waiting for its boiling point to reach


What is the lowest temperature that a substance can reach?

Temperatures can approach, but never reach, absolute zero. This is about -273 degrees C.


Is the boiling point of 1 liter of water different from the boiling point of liters of water?

No, the substance being heated is still water which has a known boiling pt. You just have more of it so it will take longer to reach boiling pt


Is the boiling point of 1 liter of water different from the boiling point for 2 liters of water?

No, the substance being heated is still water which has a known boiling pt. You just have more of it so it will take longer to reach boiling pt


What cause more burns steam or boiling water?

Steam. Liquids turn to solids when they reach a temperature, so steam has to be hotter than boiling water.


Compared to the Pacific Ocean does a cup of hot chocolate have a higher temperature?

hot chocolate, its made from boiling water. the pacific ocean does not reach the temperature of boiling water, or no life would survive there.
