Several variables can raise or lower the boiling point of a substance: The Food Lab: Boiling Water | Serious Eats
: During boiling, the temperature of a pure liquid remains constant even if more heat is added. This extra energy is used to break intermolecular bonds (latent heat of vaporization) rather than increasing the liquid's temperature. 2. Influencing Factors Boiling Point
Boiling occurs when the kinetic energy of the molecules in a liquid is high enough to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together. Several variables can raise or lower the boiling
