Boiling water question?


water can hotter 100c in either of 2 ways.

1. can superheated. unstable condition can exist short time, if water clean, , in smooth clean container. if search google, can find stories people heated water or coffee or tea in clean glass container in microwave, , when tried remove container, or when stirred spoon, liquid exploded steam , burned them. that's "superheated."

2. other way increase boiling point. water boils @ 100c @ standard pressure. (approximately equal mean sea-level atmospheric pressure). increase pressure, , increase boiling point.

water boils @ 100°c

can water hotter 100°c?... 110°c?
