Trivia!, What's the Boiling point of....

What's the boiling point of water?  Mikey132

Is this a quiz or do you just want us to 'find out' for you?

edit: best give an answer anyway... it's 99.gibberish

so far you're all wrong,  keep guessing though :)Mikey132

I don't see where you're going with this

You just had to go look it up huh? lol.  I was curious to see if they taught anything past saying it was 100 degrees C. 

If you were on top of Mount Everest you could not make a hot cup of coffee, you could make a warm one though.

The less air pressure there is the easier it is for water particles to break away, so it really has no set boiling point.

Nope I intentionaly left out the pressure,  It would have given it away that it can boil at different temps.  I learned that on my own a couple years ago.  When I was in school it was 100 C because the Text Book said so, along with the teacher.  I'm kinda coonfused as to why they don't teach us about the difference in Air pressure.

If no pressure is given, you assume the question means STP.  Everyone was right.  You just didn't ask the question well!  I learned all about that in high school.

I learned about it all in my Advanced Chemistry class in 10th grade of High School.

I asked the question right.  How do we know that everyone who said 100 knew about the pressure?  That's what I was looking for.  not just plain 100 :)

What if you heat it with a flamethrower? If its under the flamethrower you don't have to worry about the air pressure cause it is going to get hot. I can guarantee that.

What you're heating it with still doesn't change the boiling point.  It will still boil at 100 C, or 212 F, at standard pressure with a flame thrower.  It will get there a lot faster, but it will still be the same temp!
