the container's temperature has to go up to 100C but i dont think the water inside can boil. suggestions?
btw i dont know which category i should put it in so i put it in physics :-/

Interesting question. At the very least, it would be difficult since you have to be *above* the boiling point to boil water. This usually occurs at the heated inner surface of the pot, where the bubbles form. The liquid water itself that the inner container is exposed to cannot go above the boiling point, though, unless it's superheated (which is hard to do). So, it's usually only the steam in the bubbles that the inner container is exposed to that's above the boiling point, and bubbles don't transfer much heat. That means, like I said, it would be difficult. Time for an experiment!

The inner pot will continue to heat until there is no longer a temperature differential. Once it reaches 100 deg C it will no longer recieve heat. The water in the inner container will not be able to boil since it has not received the latent heat of vaporization- required of water to turn to steam.

No.
The amount of heat energy that goes towards the boiling of the outer pot of water will transfer some of its heat towards the water within the second pot, but as the pot will absorb some of this heat, the water can never reach boiling point.

Yes, of course you can! As long as the water is able to heat up the inner container, and if the inner container is sealed then as pressure increases so will temperature. If the inner container is not sealed all you need is to heat it up to 100 C. You can have 1000 containers and be able to boil them all - your question described a heat exchanger.

in case you boil water or depart it on a warm plate for an prolonged quantity of time, the fluoride will replace into extra centred, ultimate in the water as a fluorine salt. although, you are able to boil water to eliminate fluoride in case you seize the water this is evaporated and condense it (distill it). The water you deliver mutually will incorporate much less fluoride than your commencing water. as an occasion, once you boil a pot of water on the range, the fluoride concentration in the water in the pot will enhance. The water that escapes as steam includes much less fluoride.

Only if the pot with the boiling water is still being heated.
The heat is being transferred from one to another so unless more energy is being added it is impossible

Standing a bowl in a pan of boiling water is a well-known technique in cookery if you want to heat something without getting it too hot.

don't know much about this subject, but isn't it a lot of trouble to go to just to boil an egg?

well i think not because the container will have to be sealed and water has to evaporate to boil so....................
