Understand that the normal boiling point of a substance is defined as the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals 1 atmosphere (1 atm) of pressure.
Recognize that for water, the normal boiling point is the temperature at which water changes from liquid to gas at 1 atm pressure.
Recall or refer to standard reference tables or data that list the boiling point of water at 1 atm pressure.
Note that the commonly accepted normal boiling point of water at 1 atm is 100 \(\degree\) C (or 373 K).
Confirm that this temperature corresponds to the phase transition from liquid to vapor under standard atmospheric pressure conditions.
