1)Pure water boils at 100°C at one atmospheric pressure. 2)Water will boil when the pressure is reduced and the temperature is below 100°C.
3)For instance, cooking food is challenging at higher altitudes where there is less pressure and water boils at temperatures below 100°C .
4)If the pressure is increased, water will boil at a temperature higher than 100°C.
