Question

What is the physical state of water at ${100}^{0}C$?

Answer 1

• Water is the only naturally occurring substance on earth that exists in three physical states: solid, liquid, and gas
• Water exists as ice in solid form, as water in liquid form, and as vapor in gaseous form.
• Water is a universal solvent because it can dissolve most of the substances in it as compared to any other liquid.
• The physical state of water can be both liquid or gas at 100°C is because 100°C is the boiling point of water as well as the condensation temperature of the steam.
