At what temperature does water boil?

I have just about reached my boiling point reading some of the inane comments from idiots who do not really appreciate what a wonderful trivia game we are all enjoying.

Just a quick go-to to remember: Freezing and Boiling points: 0 (C) = 32 (F) 100 (C) = 212 (F)

In the US, some citizens still learn metric. I work in a hospital and we all use metric. Other professions use it also. My children also have learned/ are learning it in school. Or you can just educate yourself. This game helps us learn, no matter our age or where we live.

Montana Lady, wow you must be awfully busy if you have managed to attend every US science, chemistry, and physics class! And if you weren't there, you have no idea whether that info was actually taught. And some of the players on here have been out of school for a very long time so again you have no idea what was taught to them. Besides even if it was taught to them they might not remember something that specific from 30 or 40 or 60 years ago. So 🤐! Nobody wants to hear from a person acting like a condescending know it all. If you can't say something nice, please don't say anything at all.

that's why it takes a lot to boil an egg under sea.

For me, the most perfect and user-friendly system is the metric system. The Philippines has adopted the metric system since I was a kid, though when asked what's my height and weight, I still give them in feet, inches, and pounds.

degrees, folks

Juliette, The metric system is based on the real world around us. The size of the planet. The states and density of water etc. Unlike feet, pounds and miles that the US so desperately clings to. Still, what would you expect of a people who call their main meal an entree?

These values are incorrect. When I was at school over 45 years ago, I was taught that water boils at 230degF, which equats to 100degC. To get Fahrenheit to Celcius, you must subtract 30 and divide by 2. To go from Celcius to Fahrenheit, one must multiply by 2 and add 30. Has science since changed? or is someone getting Kelvin mixed up in here, which is the true scientific measure of temperature... Just asking....

Interesting and helpful to know. While do not have heating on in my flat, and boil water in a saucepan, the boiling point and time changes throughout the day. Because flat extra cold for most Brits to handle in their own, (prefer my body get used to natural temperatures all year round,) the water at 6, highest setting differs temperature throughout the day. Sometimes doesn’t heat up too hot in the late evenings and coolest hours I’m awake. Once I boiled up some water when room highly cool the water wasn’t as hot but boiled same time as if the room was warmer earlier in the day.

Are we taking at sea level or what altitude? The boiling point changes depending on elevation.

just commenting to complete the "challenging"

easy peasy lemon cheesy

wrong water boil at room temperature found that information from taking a power engineering course

A watch pot never boils.

In about 1970/71 this country’s powers-that-be (whoever they were) were considering switching to the metric system. Some people considered it would be a challenge, and were intrigued; others just said “OMG - NO!!”

celcius - let's make it simple, 0 and 100 imperial - RANDOM NUMBERS GO!

WaldoLydeker, true... few people want their comment to be liked and then if no one likes it then they dislike the other comments even if they are useful.. And , this game is really fascinating.

I got this wrong

almost pressed 1000 degrees Celsius

GrandmaTanya, celsius was set to be less subjective. Fahrenheit, IIRC, set 0 and 100 to be the max tolerable temperatures humans could easily endure. celsius, OTOH, set 0 to be the freezing point of water and 100 to be the boiling point of water at standard conditions.

The Who knew, along with The Guess Who, and Dr. Who was caught cooking the Physics text books.

PTSD, 😁,😁

in Hilly areas it falls as in mount Everest....it's 70°c

At STP of course

and awesome fact beelzebubba

people got this wrong!!??!!

who knew

I had to guess this one since we use farenheit in the USA. But I got it right!

Give or take, depending on atmospheric pressure.
