At what Temperature does VIRUSES in water Die?

Answer 1

The death of a virus needs for its realization a disruption or destruction for its internal structures. For health viral sterilization it is preferrable that the DNA in the virus destructure to prevent reproduction possibility. My understanding is DNA uses water to maintain structural integrity, therefore by that description I would assume that a temperature inducing gasation or vaporization for its water would disessemble the DNA. In harmony with another answerers answer the vaporization temperature for water is co-variant with atmospheric pressure. Decreasing airpressure in your container would assist in killing virus forms.

In my read knowledge small parasites or the trigonelle form die at 149 degrees farenheit. Perhaps virurs that are 1/100 that size would die at lower temperatures, but knowledge is not knowledge if variants are not tested for objective condition realization. 100 degrees centigrade would certainly be a greater degree for probability for successful viral or virus death.

Answer 2

They die at about 80 degree-100 degree celsius which is near about the normal boiling point of water.

Answer 3

First of all viruses arent alive. Picture them more as little fragments of DNA enclosed in a tiny package.

But to answer your question, it would have to be pretty hot... enough to break down DNA...

Boiling or hotter, definitely.

Answer 4

Different viruses can survive (or function) under different conditions. Depends on the structure of the proteins on their surface. Got a particular one in mind?

(Boiling will kill them all because their cytoplasm will explode or their proteins will deform.)

Answer 5

I think the accepted temperature for killing 90% of all viruses is 80C. I think.

Answer 6

Viruses are not considered alive.

Answer 7

At sea level, you won't get liquid water past 100 degrees celcius, so there's your answer.

Answer 8

to sterilize something you need to boil it for 20mins+ but some dont die now
