Who told you that water can not exceed its boiling point? It happens every day! Every day someone heats a cup of water in the microwave. It reaches around 110 C or 230F. Then when they drop a teaspoon full of instant coffee into the cup, it boils all over the place. The superheated water is dropping down to its boiling point. Water can exceed its boiling point.
Water can also exceed its boiling point in an enclosed pressurized container. One such machine was called "The steam locomotive." One item used on the cook stove was called "The Pressure Cooker." These heated water above the boiling point.
However, under standard conditions, when water begins to boil its vapor pressure will equal the air pressure. Any attempt to make the water hotter would increase its vapor pressure. When water gives off vapor, that cools down the temperature of the water. So the air pressure determines boiling point.
What else can I help you with?
Does the temperature of the water change the boiling point?
The boiling point of water depends only on pressure, not ambient temperature. The only correlation between climate temperature and boiling point would come about from the fact that cold climates in temperate parts of the Earth are usually at higher elevations than warmer climates and therefore have lower atmospheric pressure.
When salt is dissolved in water what would water be?
When salt is dissolved in water, the water becomes a solution. The salt particles disperse throughout the water, forming a homogeneous mixture. The properties of the water, such as boiling point and freezing point, may change due to the presence of the dissolved salt.
How do you calculate melting points and boiling points by using enthalpy and entropy?
The melting point and boiling point of a substance are related to its enthalpy of fusion and vaporization, respectively, and its entropy of fusion and vaporization. The melting point is where the solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium, while the boiling point is where the liquid and vapor phases are in equilibrium. By analyzing the balance between enthalpy and entropy changes during phase transitions, you can predict and calculate melting and boiling points.
When a teaspoonful of sugar is added to water in a breaker the sugar dissolves?
This would be a mixture, because you could easily separate the water and sugar again by boiling the water.
What is it called when it cant dissolve in water?
Insoluble
How can matter be classified by its melting or boiling point?
it cant!!

What temperature does oxygen melt at?
The melting point of oxygen is -361.8 degrees F (-218.8 degrees C). The boiling point of oxygen is -297.31 degrees F (-182.95 degrees C).
If you heat a liquid and measure the temperature at which it boils you are measuring what property?
I think it is a Physical Property Because Physical you can bring things back but chemical you cant. love is real. lol
What is the melting point of water at sea level and what happens to this point at altitudes above sea level?
i think you mean what is the melting point of ice as water cant melt. the melting point of ice at sea level is 100 degres celsius
What do you do if someone hurt your finger and its possibly broken and you cant go to the doctor?
wrap it up in ice and make sure you omve it constantly and dip it in boiling water

Why seeds can germinate by using tap water and seed cant germinate by using boiled water cooled to room temperature?
Tap water also contains some ammount of oxygen in dissolved form which is needed by the seed during germination for respiration. in boiled and cooled water oxygen is removed during boiling. Hence seed can germinate in tap water and not in boiled and cooled water.
What is a chemical way to remove salt from water?
HI To remove salt from water, boil the water and the steam from the boiling water will be free of salt. Salt is heavier than air so it cant follow the steam. Put a thick piece of aluminium above the steam at a thirty degree angle, the steam will condensate on the plate and flow down the slope into a container sitting beside the boiling water. Not only will it be free of salt it will be almost germ free.
What will happen if water cools below the dew point?
If water cools below the dew point, the surrounding air will not be able to hold all the moisture, leading to condensation. This can result in water droplets forming on surfaces like windows, plants, or walls.
