What is the difference between the normal boiling point of water,and the temperature at which water might boil

Answer 1

Need more info here -- the question got cut off.

Boiling refers to the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the water equals the ambient pressure. The boiling point of pure water at one atmosphere (760 torr) is 100°C.

The boiling temperature will drop at higher altitudes (the atmospheric pressure is reduced, so the boiling temperature is lower -- that's why you have to cook things for longer when camping in the mountains). At elevated pressures, the boiling point of water is greater than 100°C.

If you add electrolytes to water, the boiling point increases (salt water boils at a higher temperature than distilled water).

Does that help?

Answer 2

The Normal boiling point of water is 100C, that temperature at which water UNDER 1 STANDARD ATMOSPHERE boils.

The temperature at which water boils depends on the pressure. On Pike's Peak, where the pressure is lower, water boils at a cooler temperature. In a pressure cooker, where the pressure is higher, water will boil at a higher temp.

Something boils when its vapor pressure = the total pressure.
Since vapor pressure is a function of temperature, the boiling point will be a function of temp.

Answer 3

the traditional boiling factor is the temperature a liquid boils at usual atmospheric rigidity, one hundred stages Celsius for water. If the rigidity is way less, the liquid will boil at some decrease temperature; if the rigidity is greater, the boiling factor would be greater.

Answer 4

Depends on the air pressure and maybe stuff that you might have mixed with the water.

Answer 5

I wanna say bubbles... but it sounds like your question is regarding atmospheric pressure... you question is pretty poorly worded...

Answer 6

I don't know unless it is sea level, or altitude.
