The boiling point of water in Fahrenheit is 212 degrees. This temperature is reached at sea level, where atmospheric pressure is standard. At this point, the molecules in water have enough energy to overcome intermolecular forces, allowing them to transition from a liquid state to water vapor (steam). It's important to note that the boiling point of water can change with altitude; as elevation increases and atmospheric pressure decreases, the boiling point drops. Conversely, adding solutes like salt can also raise the boiling point, a phenomenon known as boiling point elevation.
