A certain quantity of water is heated from 20°C to 100°C. Its temperature is recorded after each 1 minute. The observations are:
| Time (in minute) | Temperature (in °C) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 20 |
| 1 | 30 |
| 2 | 40 |
| 3 | 50 |
| 4 | 60 |
| 5 | 70 |
| 6 | 80 |
| 7 | 90 |
| 8 | 100 |
| 9 | 100 |
| 10 | 100 |
| 11 | 100 |
| 12 | 100 |

Answer
From the above table it is concluded that the boiling point of water is 100°C.
At 100°C, water begins to boil and changes into steam by absorbing the heat being supplied to it without further rise in temperature.
