At what temperature Fahrenheit does water boil?
A) 100° F B) 176° F C) 212° F D) 236° F
What is the boiling point of water?
See the answer below?
Kelvin Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius, 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 373.15 Kelvin under standard conditions at sea level (at one atmosphere of pressure). The boiling point of water and any other substance depends on the atmospheric pressure, which changes with elevation.
At higher altitudes, the pressure is lower, and so water boils at a lower temperature. If the barometric pressure is not at the standard value, the boiling point will be different. For example, water boils at 72 degrees Celsius on Mount Everest. See the Related Questions links to see how atmospheric pressure and elevation affect the boiling point of water.
