Boiling point
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
A boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid (say, perchloric acid, for example), becomes so filled with energy that it becomes a vapor (maybe like smoke). The different elements and different combinations of elements have different boiling points, and boiling points also depend on what the particular external air pressure and density are where the thing is being boiled. So now we're already getting confused, and we haven't even gone into the Trouton-Hildebrand-Everett rule yet.
Actually, the whole notion that there are these particular states of matter -- solid, liquid, and gas -- is kind of quaint and archaic, harkening back to the time of the Greeks, who, let's face it, weren't so hot at experimentation but were exceptionally good at pulling crazy ideas out of their asses.
Some elements, or combinations thereof, don't even have a liquid state. Like carbon dioxide (CO2), for instance. It goes straight from being a solid to a gas. I mean, what's that all about? And there are some elements that have such a high boiling point that you basically have to put them into a supernova before turning them into a gas.
The worst thing is, that if you have already heat water to 100 Celsius degrees, it still isn't boiling! You have to heat it more and more, till it's boiling, as like if you hadn't other things to do. If you ever wondered, where that power goes to, than here's the answer: it flies into magick wands (Harry Potter has got one), so these can make magic. So, as you see, boiling the water can save the world from evil forces.
Most of the time you get to a boiling point by applying heat to whatever it is you're trying to boil. But there are ways of converting liquids to gas without adding heat at all. You can get liquid water to become hydrogen and oxygen gasses by running electricity through it. So WTF?
Boiling points can be determined either in Fahrfegnugen or Celsius. Water requires you heat it up to 212 degrees Fahrfegnugen to get it to boil, but only 100 degrees Celsius. So if you have a choice, use a Celsius stove to boil water. Kelvin stoves work too. and your stove.
