The ice would first melt into water at 0°C, and then the water would heat up until it reached 100°C, at which point it would start to boil into steam. The energy required to convert ice to water and then water to steam is significant due to the heat of fusion and heat of vaporization of water.

What is the optimum Temperature for testing water conductivity?

There is no optimum between 00C and 1000C.


Who discovered water boils at 212 degrees?

No-one did! A guy called Daniel Fahrenheit proposed a temperature scale where one of the reference points was the temperature of the boiling point of water which he arbitrarilly set at 212 degrees or more precisly 2120F This scale is now only used in the US the rest of us have switched to Celsius (often called centigrade) where the boiling point of water is 1000C


What is the abnormal boiling point of water?

Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure. Pure water boils at 1000C at a pressure of 1 bar (1 atmosphere). At lower pressures for example up a mountain at 10000ft 3000m water boils at just under 900C. As you go higher it gets lower still. When salts are dissolved in water the boiling point rises, this phenomenon is termed elevation of the boiling point.


Can boiling hot water put out fire?

The temperature of boiling water is just 1000C whereas the temperature of fire ranges from 5000C to 15000C. As the sensation of heat depends on relative temperature so fire is hotter than boiling water.


What is the procedure for heating a metal to an exact but measured temperature?

This really depends what the temerature you want is. For lower temperatures you can heat in a thermostatically controlled container of oil. For highter temperatures you will need a thermoostatically controlled furnace. This wil easily give you good control up to at least 1000C
