Why does 2 liters of boiling water not have twice as great a temperature as 1 liter of boiling water?

Question

Natalie Anton · Accepted Answer

Boiling point is an intensive property, which means that it is not dependent on the amount of a substance, such as water.

The boiling point of water is an intensive property , which means it is not dependent on the amount of water. However, it is dependent on altitude. So water at the same altitude will have a specific boiling point, regardless of the amount of water. It will, however, affect the amount of time required to reach the boiling point.

undefined Two liters of boiling water do not have twice the temperature of one liter of boiling water because temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of the water molecules rather than total heat content. Since water boils at 100°C (212°F) until it evaporates completely, the temperature of the water does not change whether it is one liter or two liters; the difference is in the total amount of heat energy rather than the temperature when comparing different volumes of boiling water.
