If you want to limit yourself to water only, you could change the pressure. That would greatly change the boiling point and slightly change the freezing point. If you don't care about limiting yourself to pure water, you can dissolve a salt or other substance in the water to lower the freezing point and raising the boiling point.
What else can I help you with?
In Celsius the boiling point of water is how much higher than the freezing point?
The freezing point of water, as defined at a standard temperature and pressure (STP) is 0.0 degrees C and the boiling point is 100.0 degrees C. So it could be said that the difference is 100.0 degrees.
Could the above thermometer be used to record the temperature of boiling water?
No, the above thermometer cannot be used to record the temperature of boiling water. Most household thermometers have a limited temperature range that does not typically extend to the boiling point of water, which is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). To measure the temperature of boiling water, a thermometer with a higher temperature range is required.
What is freezing point elevation?
This is not a common phenomenon. Usually it is boiling points that are elevated, and freezing points are depressed. It is possible that a freezing point could be raised (elevated) due to the presence of an impurity with a much higher freezing point.Changes in boiling and freezing points are typically due to impurities in compound.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about freezing point depression and boiling point elevation problems.
What would most likely be the temperature of boiling water?
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Unless, of course, you are boiling it by putting it in a vacuum without air and in that case it could be any temperature.
What temperature does water melt?
== == Pressure has an effect on the freezing point of water, though it isn't as substantial as the effect of pressure on boiling point. We could say that these values are at standard pressure, but realistically there is no noticeable difference of water's freezing point on various altitudes on earth. But it should be noted that if there are ions dissolved in the water, the freezing point will drop significantly due to the added solute. The melting point of water is the same as the freezing point of water; 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.
Who was Fahrenheit and what did he discover?
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) was a German physicist who proposed the funny Fahrenheit temperature scale in 1724. The freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the boiling point is 212 degrees Fahrenheit. That is placing the boiling and freezing points of water strange 180 degrees apart. On the other hand we got the Celsius scale: there the freezing and boiling points of water are exactly 100 degrees apart. The freezing point of water is 0 degree Celsius and the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius. Fahrenheit based his scale on the lowest temperature he could achieve with a salt-water "slurpie", the melting point of snow, and normal body temperature. He dealt primarily with meteorlogical temperatures and was not even interested in temperatures as high as boiling water.

Is the melting point of impure water lower or higher than freezing point?
The melting point of impure water is lower than the freezing point. Impurities disrupt the crystalline structure of water, making it harder for the water molecules to align and freeze. This results in the impure water needing to be cooled to a lower temperature before it freezes.
What is an example of when you could use a negative number?
When the temperature is below freezing point.
What temperature is important to record in a freezing point determination experiment?
The temperature recorded in a freezing point determination experiment is the temperature at which the substance changes from a liquid to a solid state. This freezing point is an important characteristic of the substance and can be used to identify the substance or assess its purity.

What is the Fahrenheit system based on?
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), the German physicist who proposed it in 1724. He used three reference points. The first, 0 degrees, was the lowest temperature he could obtain using a mixture of ice, water, and salt. The second was that temperature at which snow began to melt. His third point was the normal body temperature of a person, which he placed slightly incorrect at 96 degrees. He was not concerned with the boiling point as he was interested in atmospheric science, and air temperature is never that high. When his scale was adjusted so that the boiling point of water was 212 degrees, the body temperature fell to 98.6.
What specific physical phenomena is the Fahrenheit scale based on?
Fahrenheit based his original scale on the lowest temperature he could achieve with a mixture of ice, water, and ammonium chloride. This he defined as zero. He then set the freezing point of water at 32 and human body temperature taken orally at 96. Why these particular values? I have no idea. "But," you say, "body temperature is 98.6, not 96." That's right. It was later decided that it would be convenient if the boiling point of water were some even number of degrees higher than the freezing point. Since under the original scale it was about 180 degrees above the freezing point, it was defined as exactly 180 degrees above the freezing point, and the new definition became based on water freezing at 32 degrees and boiling at 212 degrees.
What would the temperature reading be on the thermometer when ink has been boiling for two minutes?
The temperature would depend on the boiling point of the ink. The thermometer would likely show a temperature close to the boiling point of the ink, which could vary depending on the type of ink being boiled.
What is the boiling point degrees in Fahrenheit?
At sea level the boiling temperature of water is 212o Fahrenheit. At different air pressures the boiling temperature changes. Higher air pressures require higher temperatures to boil. For example, if you go to a mountain top you could lower air pressure until water could boil at say 99o Fahrenheit. If you change substances, from water to something else, that substance would have its own individual boiling temperature, the point at which it changes from liquid to gas.
How could you change a liquid into a gass?
You let it evaporate, as by boiling it for instance.
