Hotter Than
Can water temp be hotter than its boiling point?
The boiling point of water is 100 °C (212 °F) at standard pressure. I have always assumed that this is the hottest water can get before evaporating, but my buddy says that it is possible to get water hotter than that (in a microwave, for instance).
Is this true? If so, why?
Of course water can be heated to a point much greater than its boiling point. Not only can it be excessively heated in a microwave, but in a pressure cooker as well. In the case of the pressure cooker the water won’t boil at 212F because of the pressure exerted on the water surface. Conversely, water heated on a mountain top will boil at a lower temperature because of the lower atmospheric pressure. Microwave heated water will excite the water molecules to such a rapid rate that the water can not maintain a steady 212 thru the boiling process. In addition, if the vessel in the microwave is perfectly smooth (or nearly so) there won’t be any place for the bubbles to form. The result would be an eruption of the water out of the vessel, but the water temperature would be far above 212.
