It depends on other conditions, such as the pressure, and the purity of the water. However, at normal atmospheric pressure, pure water boils at 100oC. As an example of the importance of pressure, consider that it boils at just 65oC at the summit of Mt. Everest. This is why you can't get a decent cup of tea up there!

What increases the solubility of a gas in water?

One way to increase the solubility of a gas is to decrease the temperature of the liquid. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is usually temperature dependent, although it depends on the particular combination of which gas and which liquid. Usually the solubility of a gas goes down with increasing temperature (think of warm carbonated beverages going flat).The other way to increase the solubility is to increase the pressure of the gas. The higher the pressure of the gas above the liquid, the more will dissolve. Again, think of a carbonated beverage: when it is sealed it doesn't go flat because it is under pressure, but when open to air, it will go flat.See the Web Links to the left of this answer for more


When liquid boils its temperature remains the same so where does the heat go?

When a liquid boils, its temperature remains constant because the heat energy supplied is used for the phase transition from liquid to gas, rather than raising the temperature. This energy, known as the heat of vaporization, breaks the intermolecular bonds in the liquid, allowing molecules to escape into the gas phase. As a result, while the temperature stays steady, the added heat facilitates the transformation rather than increasing temperature.


What energy required to go from liquid to gas?

The energy required to go from liquid to gas is known as the heat of vaporization. It represents the amount of energy needed to convert one unit of a substance from liquid to gas at its boiling point. The heat of vaporization varies for different substances and is typically expressed in units of joules or calories per gram.


Is boiling an egg endothermic or exothermic?

It is endothermic as the water mus gain energy to go from a liquid to a gas.


Why doesnt the water temperature go up after boiling for alomg time?

At 100 oC, liquid water turns into vapor water (steam). The temperature of the water can't go up, because it cannot stay a liquid at any higher temperature. All of the energy from the heat source is consumed in turning the water into steam, and then heating the steam.

What sequence of states does water go through as you raise its temperature?

As water is heated, it transitions from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water) at its melting point, and then to a gas (water vapor) at its boiling point. The sequence is solid (ice) -> liquid (water) -> gas (water vapor).


Can water only exist as a liquid?

no, it can be ice and snow and it can be evaporated


What causes water to change to a different state?

Water changes state depending on its temperature and pressure. When water is heated, it can change from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water) to a gas (steam). When water is cooled, it can go from a gas to a liquid to a solid. These changes in state are due to the energy levels of the water molecules.

What is the meaning of boiling and of boilingpoint?

Boiling is to heat an liquid to the point where it will turn from a liquid to a gas. Because the substance cannot be at temperature higher than its boiling point the temperature will remain that until all the liquid has been boiled away. That is why if I were to heat some alcohol and water the temperature would remain at about 60oC until all the alcohol had evaporated away. Then the temperature would go to 100oC and the water would boil. The boiling point of substance is the temperature at which the substance will turn from a liquid to a gas. This is about 100oC for water.


How can you change a liquid to a gas?

Temperature when water changes from a gas to a liquid?

Water can evaporate even at relatively low temperatures, the water only needs to be slightly warmer than it's surroundings to evaporate, so there is no fixed temperature at which water vapour condenses to become water again. Although the above statement is true, water turns to a gas at boiling point of course, yet people tend to forget that when a substance is directly at boiling point (100 degrees Celsius for water) it can either turn into a gas or go from gas back to liquid. just under BP water gas turns completely to liquid while after BP the water liquid becomes a gas.


Is carbon a liquid at room temperature?

No. Carbon is a solid at room temperature and will sublimate (go from solid straight to gas i.e. no liquid) at 3900 Kelvin.


Does temperature go up or down when gas changes into a liquid?

Temperature typically decreases when a gas changes into a liquid, a process known as condensation. This is because energy is released when gas particles lose kinetic energy and come closer together to form a liquid.


What is the engery required to go from liquid to gas called?

The energy needed to go from a liquid to a gas is referred to as heat of vaporization.
