Question

Why is harder to increase the water temperature from 100°C to 101°C?

Answer 1

First of all it is the normal temperature and can't boil any furhter  so it just can't happen and I advice you not to go do anything stupid cos who knows

what could happen

Answer 2

I assume that you mean "Why is it harder to increase the water temperature from  100°C to 101°C than it is to raise the temperature of water from  99°C to 100°C?"

It's because of the latent heat of vaporization.  It takes 1 calorie of heat to raise water by  1°C.  Therefore it will take 1 calorie of heat to raise 1 gram of water from 99°C to 100°C.  It will then take 540 calories to raise 1 gram of water from 100°C to 101°C because you are not only heating the water but you are turning it into a vapor in the form of steam.

Answer 3

Because at 101 water tends to turn to vapor.  You can increase the boiling point of water by increasing the air pressure surrounding the water.  You can also increase it by adding salt or sugar to the water but it will be a very small increase.

Answer 4

The boiling point of water is 100 C. At normal pressure, water boils off to form water vapor at 100 C. Pure water can not be heated to 101 C.

Answer 5

Pure water cannot be more than 100degree. Boiling occurs and water will turn to water vapour.

Answer 6

Because 1 degrees is a small specific amount?? idk

Answer 7

water in its simple nature [having no other particles in it] cannot be heated to 101 degrees celsius. why?

because pure h20 has a boiling point of 100 degrees.

then if the water sample you've been heating went higher, you can conclude that it's note pure; there are other particulate matter.

try it with mineral water and distilled water. i think distilld won't go higher than 100 degrees.

that's all. hope it helps. God Bless!
