What is the boiling point of water at 1atm?


Unless the water has impurities or is superheated in a smooth container
so that nucleation of the water is delayed, the water will boil at 212 F
or 100 C.

Since when?

This has been true since the days of the early cave men when they
boiled dinasaur stew in stone pots.
